By mutual consent....... Sione...... : Tue Aug 04, 2009 8:12 am  

http://www.castigers.com/cgi-bin/news.cgi?805_144 Solid news for our squad overall I like Wainy and I am ambivolent to Evans as I don't think we have seen the best of him this year- but the big news is in the last line and cut off in it's prime: In other news, Sione Faumuina, by mutual agreement, has been released from his .... at best mediocre stay at the Jungle? Seemed like a decent guy when I have met him, seemed to try hard and had talent, but like so many couldn't seem to harness that into anything positive.

genuinely nice bloke, not too long back me and a few mates bumped into him and he told us that he hoped the cas fans and board would give him time to pay them back for his shortcomings this season, sadly not the case.

I think it's sad to see him go but it's perhaps for the best of the club, best of luck to him in the future.

So Evans is off to wakey yeah?

Best of luck to Sione wherever he ends up. Good to see Evans and Wainwright are staying.

Two good renewals, I would have thought a one year deal for Evans would have been appropriate with the quota cuts, although I suppose we will presumably lose Brent Sherwin, or heaven forbid Rangi Chase who is also out of contract at the end of 2009.
I do wonder if this Evans renewal has anything to do with the alledged Tony Martin/Brad Drew fiasco. I suppose this shows that you can't believe any rumours, no matter how "certain" they seem, as many people seemed to think it was nailed on.

So where does this leave Martin. I'm guessing Cas and Martin have now come to an agreement concerning the contract he signed ?

Or it was all nonsense?

Get out clause and Steve Snitch has also pulled out of deal aswell.

Sorry, thats what I meant a typo! It is early in the morning!

I didn't hear it myself, but from what TM apparently hinted at on a recent radio interview, he could be staying a while longer it seems. Really hope so.
