Was solid player wouldn't have minded retaining him, on the flip side our second row & centre competition is very strong and he'd probably be a bit down the pecking order when everyone was fit. Hope he goes well at tigers.

Strabmnge one for me. Great D and can fill in SR or centre. Surely offers nord than a Thompson for example.....

Agree. I think he knew that too and I suspect Cas made him a very good offer. Can’t win em all I’m afraid

He may well offer more than Thompson but Thompson isn’t in the first 13 either (bar injuries) and first team rugby will be what Sutcliffe wants

I think people need to bear in mind this is Alex’s choice not the clubs who as Agar says are sorry to see him leave

Alex has a big opportunity to be a regular at castleford next season with the backs they are losing.

Might be Alex's choice but given Agars selection policy & some of the players deemed in front him the Club have certainly had an influence on his final decision.

Would of liked him to stay, think he'l be a good Backrow going forward...think he could do the job Donaldson does with the potential for much more...But like others have said, probably walks into the Cas 17 every week next season, and we cant offer that...At Centre or Backrow, Even if we didnt have the likes of Donaldson and Thompson.

Shame this one, cos I like him.
Just not sure if he’ll end up being more Delaney or Keinhorst.

And if the club see Tom Briscoe as a better choice at centre then you can’t really blame him.
