I've heard we're after Johnston from the dingles, don't know if it's true or not.
what doesn't kill me simply makes me...stranger.

if we did go for a replacement Johnston would be one of the first on my shopping list, but as I have not seen anything official RE Hitchcox I will not hold my breath

I trust DP knows exactly what he's doing and there'll be another winger coming and of course, technically Denny is still a Cas player and under contract to us.

Obviously we are clearing the decks for another winger my guess is mantalato but whoever it turns out to be I trust Powells judgement 100%

Matt Diskin confirmed on a meet the fans evening. Cas haven't confirmed yet. Batley also confirmed a friendly at their place In January that we haven't confirmed.

Only thing I can find on it is here :-

Only Batley have announced this and interestingly, Halifax claim Manning is still their player. Have Batley jumped the gun here ?

Hitchcox has confirmed it on his own social media.

Still saying he's with cas tigers on his Twitter account.
Unless he's just not changed it yet.

Very strange, he retweeted it yesterday. Assume Cas told him to remove it.

Not sure why we are letting all these people out on loan

Crooks
JY
Denny will be going at some point.

We are looking very light in the backs now especially the wings. Are we bringing others in or taking a chance ? We have a real opportunity to make the top 4 or win something next year but not if we keep letting players go.

We've surely got £100k + freed up on the cap.

I think it's just a matter of time before we sign a winger.

:roll: yes leaving us very light in reserve now. i think he has alot of potential this lad and im worried with solomona leaving, monaghan simply wont be good enough on the wing. so we need another winger asap for me. simple as that.

Maybe they have seen enough already of Egogo and know he can make a big impact on the wing ? He was signed as a centre but looks to be built in the Mcgillvery/ Hall mode.
Weren't we previously linked with the winner of an Aussie rugby talent competition as well.

Whatever the ins and outs are for Cas, I am assuming this is good news for JY as it indicates his health is improving.

It looks like we have already three players at Batley , Batley could be the place to go on a Sunday when we have played midweek , I think the other year they did a discount for session ticket holders from super league clubs, I hope they do it this year it will give our fans some incentive to watch our players progress helping Batley at the same time

Agree, look very light in 3/4's, particularly as there is every chance Joel Monaghan will miss as many as he plays. Plus Jake Webster, as good as he has been for us, is now at an age where he won't be able to play every game of a long 34 / 35 game season plus. Indeed up to last season he generally always missed a good few, even with HKR. If we then got a serious injury to any of the others we could be in a bit of trouble. And I don't subscribe to the view, well McMeeken etc can play there. Well yes he can, but ideally you want him in the back row and contesting for a place there. He's not a specialist centre.
So I said to the Taxi driver, "King Edwards Close". He replied "It's alright we'll lose him at the next set of lights".
