Moore is just a liability for any team. Get rid.

It's a shame but he's a really good player when his head is screwed on.

But there's a reason he's had so many clubs and he's just used up the last of his nine lives.

That's because Wigan - big club, Wakefield - small club.

If they folded tomorrow no one would give a sh*t except for the ten people that show up (and I'm round up the numbers there).

It's f*cking tin pot clubs like Wakey and Cas that are forcing the RFL to persist with the salary cap and thus driving down the quality of Super League every year until we inevitably become nothing more than a feeder competition for Union and the NRL.

Quite simply that is totally b****x

I remember the swap deal - Scott Moore to WTW and Paul McShane to Tigers. That worked out well.

Indeed. We got rid of a fat, lazy, slug of a player in McShane.

And you gained a player who can drag you through the mud, great deal.

Cas Tigers sign 19 year old wing/centre Tuoyo Egodo from London Bronco's.

Paul was the first to admit he struggled to get fully up to speed fitness wise when he moved to the Tigers. He couldn't believe the difference in fitness levels at his new club - probably something to do with the ancient systems in place at his old club. After a couple of months adjustment we have a fully-fit player who does long minutes, played out of position at half-back very admirably and has had a superb 2016 season along with Adam Milner sharing the hooking role. He's been great for us.

I wasn't thrilled when we swapped Moore for McShane but Macca has been an ever present this year for Cas and got better as the year has gone on. Obviously a decent pro, very smart head on him and truth be told, his quality has pushed Milner to 13. Hats off to Powell on that one.


Can any London fans provide any thoughts on the chap a have just signed ?

Re: 2017 Ins & Outs : Mon Oct 17, 2016 10:52 am  

McShane was out of shape and out of form, Wakefield needed somebody who was better at the time last year and McShane wanted out of the club which was failing, so the better short-term deal was in Wakey's favour

Moore is a great player when he wants to be, but the lad also seems to have demons off the pitch which have probably finally ruined him.
