Just had a quick look at Cas forum, some of the fans we’re expecting a former Strength and Conditioning chap Ben Cooper, to be joining his former club as it appears he has left that position at HKR. They reckon he’s joining Trinity, I don’t know anything about the man, or if he’s worked with DP during his time at Castleford, I do think S & C is an area that could do with improvement.

ben Cooper is a local lad he played for Stanley rangers. Signed for Sheffield and he played for Huddersfield.

I am not too sure, but I think he comes from Crofton. If it's the bloke I think he is, his dad played for Trin around 70's he was a blonde haired LF/hooker think he was Brian Cooper ?

Yes, I've seen.

Also heard that one coming the other way. Linnett has been mentioned, but Luis Johnson was also mentioned the other day.

Don't think he's quite the same player as he was. I'd be OK with this.

I think hes 33, but I think its him thats retiring, and that Johnson is the onw heading our way, who is local and only about 24.

That said 120 or so games in his 5 years over here isnt bad, when you compare against Kelepi over a similar timescale.
