Just signed a new deal. he was actually out of contract end of the year so If we were going to sack Zak in October we could have got him!

Its more than likely it will be Benny at full back but the lad looks none too happy in that position Daryl thinks Benny could rip it up at full back, lets hope he goes out this week and does just that, who ever his playing there as my 100% support , lets forget SILLY ZAK and get on with what CAS supporters do best get behind the CAS players on the field, COME ON YE FORD

don't think Powell was too impressed since Eden was going to play there until he was ruled out. I think there's something gone on with this recruitment mess. But if there's no full bsck available what can you do!

Zac was the missing piece for Cas, a full back that could defend aswell as attack. We are back to the Luke Dorn type fullback with Roberts, can attack but can't defend. Cas won't buy anyone they will try who ever is fit in the squad and we won't be the team of last Year that's for sure. Not handled well at all Cas, Powell and Gill have made a right mess of this situation. Should have been sorted in the off season.

Evalds might be available. Wants to play fullback but O’Brian has that gig at present and Salford are deep in debt. He plays fast and direct in the Hardaker mould and is safe under the high ball. I’d take O’Brian first and foremost as he’s more a Luke Dorn extra pivot style fullback but i don’t think Salford would sell him whatever. But Evalds would do for me.

Maybe the club should hold open "X Factor" style auditions for the full back position :-"

Kheirallah may have played for France but he's an Aussie. Same as Hanbury, Locke and Mead. We still don't have any quota space.

There's players we could get rid of . At least 3 of those spots are players who won't even play barring injuries , I'm sure if a cheap fullback came up we could negotiate something and get rid of Hitchcox if need be .

Fullback is such an integral part of modern rugby and a spine position. Not somewhere where you put square pegs in round holes.
mead 3 year deal, no chance.
o'brien and evalds both have long term contracts.

we can all pick names out of the hat but I think we all know we aren't Warrington who can buy anyone out of a contract!
Won’t matter a chuff with regards to the Salford boys .. they won’t last the season, clubs a gonner... get Evalds or O’Brien in, Dalford would be probably happy to offload em

Agree.roberts was/has never been a safe pair of hands at stand off so he isn’t going to be at full back.

Roberts can defend though. Just can't catch a ball.
