One too many brain farts for Radders? Do we need the cash? Will need to replace with someone decent.

Sound like the club have acted.
When all fit we dont need a replacement Taylor,Paea,Bowden,Green,Masi and Fash

Im a bit gutted if im honest, really rate him. Hes far too good for the championship if Toronto is his destination but you'd like to think we have a replacement lined up. I think we'll be a bit one dimensional in the front row without him so definitely need someone who can offload.

Would be disappointed if he were to leave and we didnt have a replacement lined up.

I would also be interested to know the reasons why he would want to leave (if indeed he is).

Our transfer activity over the last 2-3 years has been pretty good (Lineham / Westerman). If the deal is right then let it be, but I really hope the reason is not any bust up with the management due to his recent disciplinary record.

He's left (last week). Cas to announce signing tomorrow, if not sooner.

"On and off field issues."

Looks like he's off to Cas, very disappointed. Looks like it could be off field matters.

Going to Cas now according to the Hdm.

Great player on his day but no player is bigger than the club and I trust the clubs judgement

Very disappointed in that. On his day he's in the top 3 props in the league.

What are the off-field matters?

On and Off-field discipline according to James Smailes of HDM.

Also disappointing that one of our big rivals for a top 4 spot and a grand final place is going to be getting strengthened while we are becoming weaker (in my opinion).

Good on the club, if he's causing problems then they're right to root him out before others follow his example. Brave stand, I trust Adam, Radders and Gaz's judgement on this one. Time to move on and let him self destruct if that's what he wants. He's a marked man with the officials and I can't see that changing unless he signs for Leeds or Wigan.

No question about it. We need a replacement but in terms of ability I can't see how he will be replaced by a Federation player.

I wonder if we have cap issues.

Providing he HDM is accurate on this, I would be hoping to see some sort of mid season signing of our own to utilise his cap space

Also worth pointing out on the Liam Watts deal that Castleford have put together a big, big offer to get it over the line. A very big salary and a hefty transfer fee too.
