Castleford need to convince Truman to sign a contract extension with them (IF they can), otherwise he will leave on a freeby at the end of next season.

With the money they can get get for him currently then it makes their decision very difficult i.e Damned if they sell and damned if they don`t.

Aside from turning down the offers they must surely be talking to him about extending. If that was going well there would of been some news by now me thinks. But like you said dammed if they do dammed if they don’t, as hard is it for them not lose him they must cash in I guess the good thing is another club is also interested so the fee can only go up.

2022 centres - Peter Matautia and Keenan Brand.

Wow, honestly I can't see how we won't win the lot in 2022! Meanwhile saints will have the best 2 centres in the league IMO if they sign King.

Honestly, I may as well just become a saints fan, in fact the very first saints fan with the correct number of toes, fingers and thumbs if they sign King! I still wouldn't bother with redvee though, like a whole flock of rubber duckies on there!

Although my attempts at guessing scores shows I know nowt, I’m still willing to bet that at least one of those will not be a first choice centre for us next season (fingers and everything else crossed).

I don't think you can rule out Ratchford playing Centre if we keep Ashton.

Barry Peters and Andy Currier would be more of a threat.

Mamo going to Cas

We've seen quite a bit of movement since the last post on this thread. Players still not extended:

Greg Inglis - Suely going
Tom Lineham - Going (according to that MEN article)
Blake Austin - Surely going
Chris Hill - Huddersfield rumours - played well this season, I'd extend.
Jason Clark - Surely going
Jake Mamo - Cas rumours - One of our better players this season, hope he stays.
Sitaleki Akauola - Surely going
Danny Walker - Need to keep him, still only 21
Samy Kibula - Surely going
Matty Ashton - Injury cloud but a short-term deal makes sense
Nathan Roebuck - Good potential, surely extend.
Riley Dean - As above
Eribe Doro - As above

As it stands, we'll need a new half (hopefully Williams), a winger, and at least one prop if Hill goes. We'd need some squad players too but maybe we can give academy players a chance for a change.
