I thought that Austin was only on loan to Cas, and was officially still under a Leeds contract until 2024?

Seems to be something strange going on at Cas. I've heard rumours of contracts not being discussed at the moment, salaries being reduced dramatically, and players leaving like rats on a sinking ship.

Blake has openly admitted he wants some job security, do no wonder he is looking elsewhere. Fev looks to be the favourite - if they get promoted.

Were you asleep during all the Blake Austin contract stuff?

Maybe. What have I missed?

All the fuss (Austin talking about it openly to sky) was because he was out of contract this year and Leeds apparently hadn't given him an indication on whether he would be offered another one or not.

Good morning guys, long time lurker,finely signed up. Season ticket holder for over 10 years. Seen some good days and some bad but, this season was very bad, I am sure when we released Sam Walters & Tetavano, we knew we needed a top prop to come in, I fully expect one to be signed,
Scrum half is more of a difficut fit, JS has loads of promise, RM is stil contracted, Frawley & Miller are here, for at least the medium term, How do we know how Jack S will develop?? maybe good enough to start next year or he may take until 2027?

Well done Phil and welcome to the madhouse.

Hopefully we manage a couple of decent additions and we can attack next season and not have yet another walk of shame.

To be clear, Sam Walters was definitely not released.

Welcome Philbetter nice to hear from you. A few big weeks ahead I’d say. Some huge things to get right recruitment wise

Indeed, he was made a decent offer.

Yeah we can’t really blame the club. Unless players are local lads, choosing Wigan currently is probably a no brained…
They could also say why did we get McDonnell?
