Galea wouldn't be bad on the right deal, but I would agree that Cas would seem the more likely destination, although Smailes also seems to think it could be on.

Better alert the board to Stu Fieldons availability

Still confident that I will be happy once the signings are announced, any that are from left field will be stop gaps until the right personel become available

Age isn't the only factor though. Warrington have probably the oldest and best squad in the competition and have renewed Hodgson, Morley and Briers. It's the combination of age and injury record that's more important IMO.

Chase confirms that he's coming to Hull............................

















This afternoon

Re: Rumours.... : Sat Sep 08, 2012 8:51 am  

Right,just been off the phone to my mate. He said when it came out he wasn't signing a new deal with them, hull had sounded galea out to see if he would be interested in taking on some kind of mentoring role regarding our youth system. As far as he is aware that approach got turned down.

He isn't aware of any playing contract being offered, BUT said one could have been offered as a compromise and a way of getting galea in so he can mentor some of the younger players we're bringing into the side next season.

IF this does come off, he will NOT be a first choice player and he will NOT be on a big salary at all.

In which case it's a smart move if it happens, and gives us some experienced cover in the second row

Put it this way then, if things change and he does sign, it will be on a very very low wage, because I believe we have already allocated our cap for next season and for once we are actually spending to the cap

Talk about edging your bets
