I'd have no confidence at all in any player coming back after two years away from the game getting back to the standard they were at previously. That's even if they looked after themselves. If Wigan (or anyone else) offer him any guarantees that far ahead they're crazy.

As I see it we had 2 options,

Stick by him (which would have been what I did)

Or

Let him serve a ban play him for a year and look to sell him.

Releasing him for free to a direct rival is ridiculous, the most stupid decision the club has ever done in my lifetime and if rumors are to be believed it’s a big part of why Steve gill has lost his job.

Which according to others on Casforum is a load of twaddle and not even close to the reason why SG has parted ways with Cas. https://www.casforum.co.uk/forum/viewto ... &start=150

No you haven't what you've done is made it up or read the fake post on the Trinity forum which was comprehensively shot down. You don't have the connections to know anyway your a nobody.

Not even a very good lie either, why would Wigan want Johnstone - out of all the teams in SL they are probably the best catered for on the wings - makes zero sense like most of your posts.

The only retarded thing is your attitude imho. How are you letting him go for free to anyone. He's facing a ban ffs he's no use to anyone for two years and that's assuming he ever gets his form back! In the meantime Cas free up cash and thus space under the cap.

What exactly do you expect them to do, keep paying him whilst trying to sell a player nobody wants to buy.

Also team moral states that it's best to get shut of this kind of bad influence ASAP.

Finally is he the best FB in SL? It's pretty subjective but even if he is that's more indicative of the lack of quality in SL than anything else - he's no Slater and most teams imho could function just fine without him.

Get a grip.

TBF Manfredi may never be back at this point or at least the player he was and Burgess rumoured to be looking to head back to Aus so could be. Only said "looking at"......hardly means made a bid or been in contact with. Every team will have their best players being "looked at" by rival clubs.

You're right, it's warrington who want johnstone

As for hardaker, surely 2 years salary for him would significantly outweigh any potential transfer fee plus add in the disruption of having him hanging around the club and the club trying to police what he's doing for 2 years and you can understand why they've binned him

He said 'I've heard' not 'looking at' which is a very different statement but since when have you ever let facts get in the way. It's why you always end up looking daft.

So you think LOOKING AT is the more important part of that sentence than I've also HEARD.

Yeah right :roll:
