Just a thought.

He started at York before moving to Hull.

At York when I watched him ( and first brought his name to Cas ) he played full back.

Big ,strong and was then the fastest man in RFL.

Playing for Warrington now and I guess on big money.

Thoughts please?

I'd take Peter Mata’utia. Only 6 months into a 3 year deal though.

But Leigh are knackered if they don't go up. Pretty sure Beaumont said a few weeks back on the RL Backchat Programme that he'd have to look to get someone else in or sell the club because he couldn't fund the club again on its current wage bill.

Says we've tried Jy and Eden at fullback this season. Not this season if my memory is not tricking me.

I’d be seriously considering Kyle Eastmond. He’s got all the qualities to make a fantastic RL full-back.

Indeed. But it’s pretty clear that the full-back is one of the most important positions in modern-day RL.

He is now very injury prone, he hardly played for Wasps during the 2 seasons he was there

Whilst I agree, I think as long as the club conduct a rigorous medical, it doesn’t worry me so much.
You can sign a player who has never missed a game in his life for him to rupture an ACL and be out for a year.
Similarly, look how “injury prone” Webster was at Hull KR but he’s suffered no long lay-offs in his time at Cas.

This season is still salvageable IF we sign a fullback! Tonight highlighted just how make shift Shenton is at the back, granted Hitchcox did very little to help him at the back tonight!

Minikin needs a wake up call.....
Hitchcox was the better of the 2 and at least he put the ball down properly FFS.....id dare say would have finished the second one as well

If jake is fit for next week I’d be putting gill on the wing with Webster in the center.
Minikin is sitting on his laurels, seems very half hearted.
Just bring a championship full back in, let’s get our three quarter line sorted, hopefully Eden will be back next week, but he needs shenny as his center.
Not much we can do with Ellis he as to play. His goal kicking was shabby to say the least tonight.
Forwards went ok, don’t think they were dominated at all.
Just our backs were atrocious.

We got carried away against leeds simple truth was they made us look better than we are
To be at this stage of the season and stil playing without a reconised full-back is madness
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have
