Did anybody notice Ryan Boyle last night for cas, we were supposedly linked with him but I didn't see much from him last night to say he would be a good signing for us. Although it was hard to follow him when he and Sargeant look like twins, Lenegan was there so if he was watching his performance I don't think he'll of been thrilled with it enough to sign him.

He didn't look a player thats any better then Prescott, O'Carroll or Mossop imo........infact not as good as any of those 3 on last night alone.

As for him looking like Sargent, Barrie McDermott said he does because he went to a Cas fancy dress party last weekend as Mitchell Sargent

Westerman, Owen & Shenton should be the players we looked at from Cas. Boyle is no use, we have enough young props.

According to a poster on another forum who lives in NZ there weekly rugby league publication states we are signing Webb this week. Hope it is true but just cannot see it advancing beyond the visa issues.

Wonder if the Antipodean cousin Dave "Nosey" Parker is behind the article.

Eventhough Webb would be a good signing and definitely imporove our pack he isn't the Peacock/Morley type prop that we need.

We have to replace Fielden with a world class prop at the end of next season.

I thought IL had lost interest in Webb, he was the prop we wanted, IL watched him in Aus, the visa thing could be a stumbling block.

I think people are talking about signing Webb now, not at the end of next season.

Well you never know - I think we're due a pleasant surprise on the recruitment front.

Oh, I thought that was out the question due to visa problems? Would be a big boost if we could get him over for next season though.
