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

Re: Rumours - Liam Watts : Tue Mar 13, 2018 3:22 pm  

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

Re: Rumours - Liam Watts : Tue Mar 13, 2018 3:23 pm  

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

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).

Re: Rumours - Liam Watts : Tue Mar 13, 2018 3:38 pm  

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.

Re: Rumours - Liam Watts : Tue Mar 13, 2018 3:43 pm  

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.
