I have it on excellent authority that he is coming back to Quins for next season.

Excellent! Can't wait.

Great news if true, Dorny:- London through and through.

Now all we need is Tommy and we will have the golden triangle again.

Put it this way, without naming names my source was from within the club and speaks to Dorny on a regular basis and told me after the Saints game he was coming back to London for next year.

Hopefully if true I will be proved wrong but this is a disaster IMO. We got the best out of him, was looked jaded towards the end and has gone downhill since.

Went downhill at Salford, but who didn't? Seems to be doing OK at Cas from what I've seen. Still missing tackles though.

See what i have put on our forum, I get a lot of stuff from inside the club and Luke Dorn is likely to be deemed surplus to requirements as Cas are chasing a couple of top Stand Offs from Australia

Right, so surplus to requirements at Cas, who are currently bottom of the ladder, so we will pick him up just because he played for us a couple of seasons ago and we feel sympathetic towards him, while Cas are looking for a decent stand off.

FFS.

We also have the problem we have just signed Ryan Mcgoldrick up to a ridiculous 4 year 100k contract so we cant afford to keep both players - As ryan is as good as Luke

Although a quality stand off would release ryan to the centre
