Lino is an organising half?! I've heard it all now.

Tbf though, I have heard Lino has already signed with Cas for next year...

That's highly unlikely as he has a contract with us till 2026.

I know he is. But regardless, that's what I've heard. Belive it or not, sometimes clubs don't want a player and/or players don't want to be at a club. Have you never heard of a player that's under contract signing for another club?

Well it can only happen if we allow it. It isn't up to Lino.

But all I said was it's unlikely. Maybe your contact you heard it from is right. I just doubt it as this is the only evidence I have.

Huddersfield forum saying they will lose no sleep over him joining us .From what I have seen of him no better than what we got ,and not a player who can take us into the top seven of S L .But now he is a Wakefield player the rose tinted glasses will go on

No, just one person has said that. There's hardly even anyone on the Hudds forum .

Most of their fans on Facebook aren't happy about losing their younger players but re-contracting over 30s

To be fair, that's a large percentage.

Personally think you have a good signing in Russell - a lot of Giants fans not impressed with him but I believe he has been hindered by having to play a very basic game to suit Watson process driven dreary rubbish! He has a good step is very tough and a good goal kicker and I think you will see a much better version under Powell than we have.
Good luck next year, I think you will prob be vying with HKR to be the top Yorkshire club. Our lot will once more be bottom end if Watson is still there but doubt I will be watching them - club is a bit of a joke and needs a good shake up throughout.

That's until it is cancelled by mutual agreement.

Why would Lino cancel it. It's not in his interests.

Did anyone watch the Wire v Shudds game last night and have any feedback regarding Russel's input into Shudd's big zero?

I chose to watch Saints in the hope of seeing Cas get a shellacking only to sit through what must have been one of the most error strewn Saints performances since the club was founded. And they could have still won it!
