At the end of the day, a great player but an absolute moron.

This is a really strong statement by the club, no player no matter how good you are is bigger than the team. It’s an incredibly important message for our youngsters and current crop of players. Anybody within our squad who doubts the clubs resolve professionalism above all else is now in no doubt.

For what it’s worth, while he’ll be missed as he is a good player I don’t think he is the kingpin and we have certainly won plenty of games without him. We have a deep squad will high quality professional and influential veterans and great youngesters and I think Hull will still be up there contending for the grand final at the end of the season.

Interesting. I've not heard that nickname before. Is this from watts?

What's that saying? Two wronguns don't make a rightun?

Probably his dad, who has a history of shouting his mouth off.

So we don't have a happy coach or players then?

Based on what?

Unity and Standards are the priority.

Ha ha, only on a Hull board could you have the mighty Leeds being referenced on a topic about an errant F.C player going to Castleford. Your selective memory may be happy to ignore the fact that we had our own doylum from Castleford that was hounded by the RFL. Maybe Hardaker deserved his lengthy ban for comments allegedly aimed at an official, but when they tried stitching him up a few months later by going to a lip reading specialist to implicate him,and failing, you knew there was more than a little spite being aimed in his direction. I don’t think Watts is a marked man because he plays for Hull, he’s a marked man because he head butts players in full view of officials and the TV cameras. For what it’s worth, I was gutted when Leeds released Hardaker to one of our biggest rivals, but the people at the top ultimately made the right decision. We finished up as Champions, trousered £150,000, and watched our ex player continue on a downward spiral to oblivion. I’m not saying you’re gonna sweep the board trophy-wise, but the short term pain will I’m sure be for the long term benefit of the club. As for Watts, you can take the boy out of Cas......

Anyone know how much a large undisclosed fee is in RL circles?

No idea if it is correct, probably not, but I got told it was ~£150,000.

Alibi Albi, hmmm, I think a jealous small town club fan who has an axe to grind, maybe, as has been said, Twatts dad (apologies if I misspelt that)

If we got £150,000 for him then great business, talented but a risk.

weve been there, done that, and now we have learnt...

I hope you enjoy playing for Cas, maybe the whole village will turn up for your debut!

Watts has hit back in the press conference basically calling Radders a liar.
