I've heard that Chase is under some sort of clause with immigration services (cause he had a court case) and is only allowed to play for Castleford and no other club till that is sorted out.

Not one of my reliable sources that one though !

Think it is to do with his suspended sentence in Aus he's OK till he needs to apply for a new work permit because he changes his place of employment, or something along those lines

And at that point he is likely to be rejected for a visa under the current immigration rules. Not a definate but extremely likely.

All of them thats why we finish above you even when we've had a shocking season

Looks to me if there is any truth in the main focus of this thread that by reading what our new coach says in todays Mail it can only be Seymour. Two right sided players to come in apparently!

Says a winger and a centre in the wail though

might just be me but just read the online version of that and it didn't read like he knew of any problem with any of them.

Mason liked tetleys.!

It's not just you, I didn't see anything either.

Is there a point to you being here?


Anyway, seems Washy will stay under Gentle's regime. Hopefully he can develop him and unlock some more of his potential.

Sounds to me like we are targetting a centre/winger. We still lack a prop though and Washy will be the backrow cover it would seem.

nor me

and he hardly says anything positive about Washy, just acknowledges he's currently at the club.

Will be interesting to see if he's going to be cover for injuries, or our bench 2nd rower. If we're keeping him and prioritising centre/prop/winger, there isn't anyone in the current squad who jumps out for that spot.

But the fact he picked out Washbrook for a mention when he's out of contract could have meaning. Why else would he mention him unless he expects him to still be here?

Well at least we know he is no bull s***ter!! as most know there is nothing positive to say

He mentioned him which is significant plus strong rumours of a two year extension.
