He's looked by far and away the best player for them in the games I have seen. When we beat them at there place he was the best half back on the park and single handidly kept them in the game. He's a quality player and anybody who thinks differently doesn't have a clue imo.

I guarantee! Absolute Gurantee Ellis will not be playing in the halves next season if you are relating to Jamie that is. Castleford. 2 year deal. Horse's mouth.

never said he isn't a quality player, he just doesn't strike me as a team player, he's a maverick "off the cuff" player.

Problem is, finding a player who fits the criteria (NRL Appearances)to get a work permit to work in the UK.
We tried to sign a young Canberra half Mick Picker,last season but his work permit was rejected.

"Players

Work permits will only be issued for players to play for clubs in the super league or national Leagues 1, 2 and 3.

Initial applications

Players coming from the senior nations, which are Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea must have played in either:
•50% of full internationals since 1 July 2007; or
•75% of games over the two complete seasons prior to the date of the work permit application in the Australian National Rugby League (NRL) 1st Grade, the super league or a combination of the two.

Players coming from outside the senior nations must have played in:
•75% of games over the last two complete seasons in the NRL 1st Grade, the super league or a combination of the two.

That's because he had a Drink driving conviction though not because of appearance criteria (according to Agar). With the new system in place we would know before applying if the player would get a work permit. Granted not all players may get one but there are ways around, Wigan signing Gelling for instance.

Come on Standee, still waiting for you to tell us who else is making allegations about Bomber's role at the club and his relationship with Peter Gentle.

The two aren't linked, unless you're suggesting that Pearson would take any transfer fee out of the wage budget. In many ways, using that much of the cap on one player is more of a risk/waste than a transfer fee, which doesn't affect the salary cap.

Most players have done relatively little for Cas this year, they've been too far off the pace as a whole for payers to shine. Finch also did relatively little for Wigan for most of last year, players go through bad patches at times for various reasons. And interestingly, for someone who hasn't done much Chase still leads SL in try assists despite being in a bottom 3 side. I'm not saying he's world class, but he's about as good as you can currently get in SL.

I'd rather use it on Benji, but we don't all get what we want do we? By all accounts we've made a good offer for Finch. If that doesn't come off, do we just sit back or do we go for Chase?

He's a brilliant player, I honestly don't see why people wouldn't want him at the club.

O'Meley has always been a loud mouth since he has been here and likes to stir things up with gullible fans.

He does call Agar, Gaygar on twitter

This!

I don't doubt you, it's just not confirmed yet so technically he's still under contract at FC; publicly at least.

who else is saying these things then???

you may be waiting a while
