Your not going to get a good centre without paying him good money you could have a list as long as you like but if you can't pay them the going rate it means sod all

Interesting read on total rugby showing each clubs players in players out.. we are the only club not to have brought anyone in.. we’ve known for ages jake was leaving and how long can shenton perform at the highest level where is our forward planning.. I just hope a similar situation is not going to happen regarding centre/wing spot like we had with fullback trying out ever playing we had at the club instead of buying.. it took us most of last season to find a fullback and I appreciate top class players at the right price are hard to come by but how come everyone else finds them.. come on cas we need to buy if we are to compete with the top teams don’t let’s rest on our laurels we have nucleas of a great team but we need to tweak it surely each season

I often think back to just how luck we were that Watts and Mata'tiua became available in the first place. Otherwise last season could of been a whole lot different. Trueman would of still probably been playing FB and we'd certainly now be in the position of needing both a fullback and centre!

We signed matautia with about 6 weeks to go before the end of this season. And watts part way through the season. If we hadnt but signed them both now for 2019 wed all be sayinh wow, great signings. Expecting great things from PM after a full pre season with us. Watts will just get better and better if he listens to what the coach is saying. Theres a lions tour supposedly end of next year, that must be his motivation!

All those saying that foster was excellent in centre last year can i ask when? He had a good game against leeds and held his own on another occasion and was a good stand in due to injuries but hes an out and out back rower for me who could do a short term job at centre if needed, hes a good player! And it's only because of our strength in the back row that we think foster for centre. The question is do we try and offload a back rower to bring in a centre? But as has been said previously who is there to bring in thats available at the right quality? Maybe minikin is the answer but we wont find out until we try him in a number of games

Show Me The Money on twitter earlier saying a deal was about to be done, someone replied Wardle to Salford, Sau to Cas, which he retweeted. Granted, not cast in stone but wouldn't be a bad move for either side at this stage, probably no difference on the cap, and we've loads of 2nd rowers

Foster had a cracking game away at HKR at center.

Regardless of whether Wardle has hit his capabilities last season, swapping a 27 year old who can play both in the forwards and centres, for a 32 year old with possibly 2 years left in him, isn’t smart business. Especially when Sau would probably be on a bigger wage.

Wardle clearly one we've being trying to get rid of to make room for a incoming id be happy to see him go
Interesting thing if it's true will be wether it's a three year deal or two year one for sau
Are starting 17 will look lot stronger with sau in over Wardle

it's smart If we recognise we need a out and out centre. It's smart if Wardle has had a fall out with Powell and isn't popular amongst the squad.

I couldn't care less wether he's popular or not he was bang average last year we've got a surplus of back rowers and a shortage of centres so hope it's true

Newcastle Knights pair Brock Lamb and Pat Mata’utai could be set for moves to Super League, after both players were given official farewells at the club’s presentation night.

Despite making over 40 appearances between them in the past two years, neither player has been able to nail down a regular spot in the Knights’ side and have been deemed as surplus to requirements ahead of next season.


Samoan international Mata’utai, on the other hand, could be set for a reunion with brother Peter at Castleford.


Could this be part of our waiting game for recruitment for 2019
