Hope the age of the team starts dropping, When Powell was at Castleford, as soon as a player could not do the job on the field that he wanted Powell would get rid , hope he does that at Wakefield

He/they sent quite a few our way!

Thomas Doyle is a done deal according to rugby league live.

Is that an Applegarth or a D Powell signing?

Agree like the other clubs ..Every player was good for one season but we have them 3. That is why we are in the Championship.

Lachlan Walmsley rumoured to be signed. No idea if true just read it on a post on social media.

37 try’s in 30 games and a finisher. Would be a good signing imo.

Contracted to Halifax until the end of 2024, so unless we are paying a fee it seems unlikely

Re: Rumours thread : Wed Sep 27, 2023 12:10 pm  

Paying a fee is now clearly not a problem for us, so hopefully we have ??

Who’s to say he didn’t have a contract clause for superleague release.

I’m sure we will find out soon enough would expect a lot of announcements following the takeover being successful.

If we have money to throw around on signing on fees, we should be aiming higher than a championship player.
And I'd rather give the fee to Kershaw to get him to stay.

He might have a release clause, but we aren't a SL club anymore

I heard that Bowes was asking for £50k to stay next year ??

This seems an unlikely figure, Bowes is never going to be able to command that, the simple fact is he isn't that Good, don't get me wrong he is a decent enough player with a fair bit of potential to improve, but I can't see us or any other club rating him that highly. I am not really sure what his true position is yet anyway, not convinced he will stay at hooker long term.

Irrelevant if the deal was completed when we were/are. It depends I guess when we are no longer classified as a superleague club officially and what are written in terms of rules around it for player signings etc.

See the suppposed Doyle signing for reference.
