He’s only been used in the u20’s not the reserves as far as I can see.

I’m not saying he won’t be a good signing, for 99.99% of us he’s an unknown quantity but I trust the new set up have done their homework on him.

Unless he has a wow of a preseason I think he will be initially used as backup initially.

That's the sort of stupid thing your mate would of done, bring someone all the way from Australia and not play them.

I've no idea what your on about, I'm extremely happy with everything going on at our club. A wind of change is blowing through our club after years of neglect. Rejoice pop tart, rejoice.

he looks a handful - a powerful second rower.
He's 20 years old, how many of that age and younger have debuted for SL clubs -dozens over the years and many not as good as he looks!
Like somebody else has said, they're not bringing him to the other side of the world to play reserve rugby!

Look this is only my opinion, but if Powel had not been hamstrung with some players already signed by Carter , I don't think Pitts and Ashurst would be anywhere near our squad, Whats the point of bringing in back up players ?
I am not saying those two may do a job in the championship, but they have had their day. If you are bringing a bloke all the way from Aus, he isn't going to be back up, that's crazy.

Agree ,we have still got a lot of past it players at the club ,Coach brings a in young player, and there is Question been asked ,Ask the Questions half way through the season . Were in one of the best places we have been as a club , Let them get on with giving us a club we can be proud off

Wasn't Darren Fritz a young unknown when he came over at a similar age, and he didn't turn out too bad. I wish him well and look forward to seeing him play.

Well he's a Ginner, so could have Castleford ancestors

No need for this type of anti ginner stuff.
Cant believe you've linked the ginger gene to Cas !

On a serious note, he's a big lad for 20 years old, an excellent prospect.

Re: Toby Boothroyd : Fri Nov 03, 2023 9:14 am  

Hopefully he is a ball handling backrower something we lost when Westie went.

Re: Toby Boothroyd : Fri Nov 03, 2023 9:37 am  

I like signings like this and we have often done quite well with complete unknowns.
