Rankin has signed . He’s flying out tomorrow and Wardle is flying back tonight. Expect confirmation on site in the next hour or so .

Re: Rankin
Good signing in my opinion gives us a option in the half’s and at FB. Bring clarkson in as well Wardle is no loss.
Re: Rankin
Not odd he will be flying back from warm weather training we’re not going to let him have a holiday on us good deal.tigerfeat wrote:Bit of a odd thing Wardle going out there still there you go
Re: Rankin
Sounds good to me, full back / stand off / wing swapped for someone who doesn’t want to be at cas, welcome to cas Jordan.
Now on cas web site, so official.

Re: Rankin
Decent deal, handy player and the Clarkson thing also now makes sense. Just Gale to replace now somehow.

Re: Rankin
Well he is a cas player so he gets my full support,fully understand the logic in bringing in a utility back that gives us plenty of options to rotate and keep players on their toes.
Do I see him as a cas style half back! No not for me as I feel we are missing an half that can kick a team to death when we go into an arm wrestle.
That said I've 100% faith in the coaches that we will get the best out of him. We've still got the gale money to fall back on too which is a added bonus to this deal and it also looks odds on that clarkson will take up wardle's role so good business from the club.

Re: Rankin
When I have watched him he seems to be a player who plays better in the NRL rather than superleague strangely. I think with the right coach (which I’m sure Powell will be) he will do a good job for cas. With benny as injury prone as he is and Ellis just not being very good he will fit well at half back and when Roberts is fit will be a good player to have on the bench I’d argue.

Re: Rankin
In my opinion we lack a good support player, from what I've seen he can tick that box.

Re: Rankin
Agree with that. He is a bit off the cuff which will suit us. My concern is the bread and butter of an half back in leading us around the field and finishing sets well. He never really played in the halves for Huddersfield so it's hard to judge but even with Brough gone he was only 4th choice at the Giants,like I've said before he adds great utility value and gives us option all over the backline.KB80 wrote:In my opinion we lack a good support player, from what I've seen he can tick that box.

Re: Rankin
A good signing offering cover in a couple of areas,also capable of place kicking if needed. Will still be hoping we see a half back with a bit more pace to compliment Truman.
Re: Rankin
(In response to Braytontigers post, didnt press quote!)
Possibly. That been said, Roberts isnt a lead you round the half back and when not injured he and Gale worked well. I think if we are to do well next year leading us round the park and finishing sets may be on Trueman shoulders.
To be honest once we get Ellis and /or Roberts back (assuming they are injured). I could see Rankin at full back. Excluding last season our 3 most played full backs have been Tansey, Dorn and Hardaker. All 3 liked to back up breaks and I'd suggest was one of the stronger parts of each of their games. Eden can do so and was signed as a full back initially too. Strikes me it's something DP likes in a full back. I'm not sure PM has that in his game but would certainly slot in as a powerful (Webster esq) centre.

Re: Rankin
