Unsure on how true this actually is heard today from someone that talks to Mitch regularly that he was not actually offered a contract by cas and was told there wasn't going to be a contract offer. If this is the case all I can think of is that were planning on using the quota spot as I can't see any other reason for us wanting shut of him. Again only what I've been told from someone who I have to reason to doubt

Wells stated he has been offered one in his monthly magazine article.

Steve Gill also said Daz Clark wouldn't be sold on his watch. I'm not saying it's true but there could be more than meets the eye. However happy to lose a forward if it means being able to further strengthen the backs

Wasn’t Clark “sold” in 2013 before Gill took on the role of CEO???

Weather he was or wasn't he left at the end of 2014 not too long after it was denied he was leaving. Either way I don't mind Clark leaving if we have other plans for the quota spot to be used that will improve the backs

Mitch Clark isn’t quota I believe he was born in Pontefract and has dual nationality so doesn’t count on the quota.

Place of birth is irrelevant to the non-fed quota. As is citizenship.
He is not federation trained so is one of our seven allowed non-fed players.

Doesn’t matter. He grew up in and played all his junior rugby in Australia so is a non fed trained player. Our seven are currently:
Mata’utia
Blair
Rankin
Millington
Moors
JSL
Clark

Big fan of Mitch, but IMO if you're going to use a quote spot these days, they can't be used for a player who is an impact sub. They have to be someone who goes straight in to the starting 13.

We've never been a club that properly executes the quote spot. Wasn't long ago we used up 3 on wingers.

That is quite true, he is a non-fed trained player and therefore counts on quota despite being born in Pontefract which personally I find ridiculous.

However, what is the betting on there being a change to the rules if/when he becomes a Wigan player?

Apparently Wigan have offered Mitch 20k more a year than what he's on with us.

Maybe so but I would have expected Cas to offer him around the same now he as established himself in the 17, on his current contract Mitch came to us as a project player from the championship and wouldn't have been on much.

Disagree there. When we’ve a fully fit squad, Clark is not in the 17 for me.

Doesn't mean to say we haven't offered the same or close to it and he's snubbed it.

Either way, he doesn't want to stay at Cas for whatever reason IF it's true so best of luck to him. Hope it's not a bad decision. We move on, have an overseas spot free and can look to use it elsewhere in the team.
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!

Yep, and Powell obviously agrees because when Cas did have numbers Clark was in the Championship.
