No but Parramatta are hoping a dumb Super League club make him an attractive offer that he can't refuse and they will release him.

Why would they be dumb? Serious question. I thought Cayless had quite a good rep.

The lad is fading fast. Not the player he once was, although he could still do a job in Sl i am not sure he would have much more of an impact than Fielden.

In which case let's hope we stay clear.

I'd doanything to go back 3-4 years and bring back logan and fletch and if we had them with the pack we have got now our backs would have something to work from

Cayless is 'fading' but defo could still be a good prop in SL.

But more importantly he would bring character, leadership, aggression and a fight to win attitude which we desperately need.
Currently we're lacking these sort of players, especially in the pack.

Cayless is a born capt and winner. Having him around for 2 years would have a positive impact on our team.

Didn't see this posted http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25655655-23209,00.htmlAnywhere. So looks like Webb ain't coming, can't say I'm bothered personally the guy was never going to get a Visa any way, and looking a few pages back those who watch the NRL have have bemoaned the potential signing of Cayless. Looks to me like all the news paper stories and rumours about a prop have dried up somewhat, makes you wonder who weve got lined up if anybody.

Can't say I'm too dissapointed, would of been a gamble IMO I can see Cayless coming to Wigan especially if the rumours of Kearney as next coach are true, just wish he would bring Mr Asotasi or Mr Blair with him instead

Read the article, reeks of NQ trying to tempt us to make a move for him, they don't want him. Neither do I, sorry Mr Webb!

I'm sure he's devastated.

I genuinely think we need three signings next year - two props and a halfback, along with obviously a new coach. I would release all four of Smith, Bailey, Phelps and Coley. I would also certainly arrange a season long loan for Eamonn O'Carroll next year which would leave us with the five props fighting for four positions if we were able to make the signings.

Who knows what stage Lenagan is at in terms of recruitment for next year but it doesn't look promising right now.
