I trust the guy who's told me and think he'd be a decent signing but if you heard different I guess we'll see

Firstly Kyle is on a duel contract with Leeds and Wakefield he needs to choose who he is going to play for, He makes a decision at the end of the season, If he goes back to Leeds then its not inconcievable that Leeds will sell him to HUll and perhaps the same for Wakefield however that would be unlikely, hes contracted for another couple of years to both clubs. Not saying it wont happen but these as the facts at the moment. Looks like it would be another tranfer fee or player swap with Leeds or Wakeey if it comes off.

Reading the above I have to say personally I don't think there will be 7 announcements on Tuesday more likely two a week for the next 4 weeks or so. I think it will be all part of the season ticket announcements. Pearson said no announcemenst would be made until after Tuesday 4th not that they will all be announced then!

Pearson said weeks ago that we had 7 players signed so I'd assume the likes of chase, taylor, abateman, whitehead etc. are above and beyond those 7

Makes sense, Builds a bit of hype.. and more Importantly gives the Club a little more time to finalise a few details with 3rd parties / other clubs etc..

As we saw in the football transfer window last night a lot of players and teams simply held on knowing a deadline was there and the signing club would eventially buckle in the rush to get their man, often paying over the odds... We shouldn't give ourselves more pressure to simply make an announcment to the Faithful......

Still It's frustrating as grrrrr.............

if Whitehead or Bateman are one of the seven i'll show my ar$e in Hammonds window.

I was told yesterday Chase has hit another stumbling block (reading beteween the lines I think its Cas not ukba) however an overseas halfback has become available and they're sounding him out.

You've got to question can Castleford afford to keep Rangi??? They are signing players and there CEO has gone public saying they are skint saying the fans need to get behind them.

Maybe they know we're close to getting him a visa so they're now trying to squeeze AP for a bit more cash.

Or maybe knowing the visa is close to being sorted other clubs are showing an interest?

Not getting in to this

Wouldn't a new club have to go down the same long windy road as we have.
