OUT 2023 | Blake Austin - Castleford Tigers : Thu Aug 03, 2023 10:54 am  

Can someone please tell me this is a joke?

He has been one of our better players this year so why has he gone on loan to Cas?

This makes no sense, but i'm sure we will extend the contracts of some other less useful players,... a joke

Think that confirms we are pretty much writing this season off.
The other side could be we are about bring someone in on quota spot

Going around slagging your employers off in public just might have some consequences.

He has one good game in 6 - let's not kid ourselves.

If he doesn't want to play - get rid.

Rather that than him playing and being totally not bothered (Sezer can follow him as far as i'm concerned).

The holiday is over lads.

Deadline in a few hours, I wonder if there is another announcement on the way

I don't think we'll bring anyone in, RS has said that he trusts the whole squad, realistically the season is all but done so might as well give some of the younger players valuable game time, it could be the making of Sinfield.

No, there was no planning for this, its come out of the blue clearly as Austin was training yesterdays and then asked for the release.

Andy Last said they heard of Austins availability at 9pm last night, I bet hes been given a bollocking by GH and has asked to leave.
