Meh, Leeds have past form for slinging wads of cash at players with questionable off-field activities thinking they can get a leopard to change their spots, it rarely happens.

Cas have signed a cracking player, IF and I do mean IF he can sort out his persistent and constant brain farts on the pitch he'll be more than a bargain signing for Cas, if not.... at least they have the Hardaker debacle experience to hand.

I agree. With Leeds having oledZki and holroyd coming through - we don't need any loose cannon role models.I had tongue in cheek about moneybags Cas.

Chance of Achurch returning as poss replacement for Galloway

Liam Watts : Sat Mar 17, 2018 1:51 pm  

Should we have signed Watts? Given the amount of props we have out and that Galloway retired, seems odd that we don't seem to have bid for him, unless he was sold to Cas without ever been offered to anyone else...

Would love to see Blake Austin in SL would really suit his off the cuff game.

Re: Liam Watts : Sat Mar 17, 2018 3:34 pm  

No, Hull wouldn't have gotten rid without good reason and Radford's comments allude to that with off field discipline. Doing it tough with props injured but we'll get over it in a few weeks. We could do with another prop to fill Galloway's departure but not a starter on starter money, we have Singleton, Cuthbertson and Garbutt.

If Cas have offered Watts a handsome wage I'd rather go for Jesse Sene Lafao for 2019 as he's OOC for next season and we're probably going to lose a back rower or two and he can play prop too if needs be.

Re: Liam Watts : Sat Mar 17, 2018 3:55 pm  

Not a chance, we have mych better players already, yes we have injuries but that will balance out, happy with cuthbo singo garbutt, mullally, with peteru oledski ormanroyd in reserve, as others stated Galloway replacembt should be a back rower.

Re: Liam Watts : Sat Mar 17, 2018 4:57 pm  

Dream team. Hardaker , Watts , chase, hock, cockayne. Might not win anything but the social life would be interesting.

Watts is a car crash waiting to happen,why do you think that Hull FC decided to get rid?
I'm sure that all SL clubs knew what was going on when Toronto made a bid for him once his agent then notified every other SL club?
Funny how Cas were the only side to take the bait......Once bitten and twice shy and all that

Funny thing is that they had Watts as a junior but got rid as he was supposedly a bad influence on their up coming star Joe Westerman...Funny how things go round
