Matty English

Post by fast hands » 01 Jul 2020, 21:07

Matty English is being chased by St. Helens, has had a couple of visits by them, but he is reluctant to go live over there. Castleford as we know are short of a prop. 22 years old and 2 seasons playing in Super League, I myself would go for him, and with him living in Stanley, just on his doorstep. Someone for the long term.

Would be a fantastic signing.
However, he’s got a long-term contract at Huddersfield.
Saints have the money from Thompson’s transfer fee to tempt Huddersfield into selling him, though.

This would be a good signing. Also a typical DP signing of a younger player he can mould.

English is not on a massive wage with the Giants, £30,000 next season, expecting Giants to let him leave and put money into the club with sale.

I suspect we won’t be able to match the fee that St Helens can pay, given the money they have received for Thompson.

Strictly speaking I anticipate we’ve only spent half of gales fee we received

Very true. I won’t be complaining if we spend it on English. Looks like a future international to me.

Can I ask how you know this? If that is true, given what I’ve seen of the lad, is offer him a significant increase to join us.

What does concern me is why Huddersfield are willing to let a player with such potential leave.

They have a millionaire owner, but, the club are massively in debt to him, so, I'm guessing he wants to reign in their spending and cut costs.

He’s got the potential to be the best in super league, can’t see it happening though imo!

If they’re looking to reign in their spending, I’d also take Jake Wardle and Tom Holmes from them....

If they are looking to cut costs why have marquee players?

Fumper,
He started on £15,000 when he first signed pro forms, rose to £22,000 this season which will rise to £30,000 for new season. Clubs are very cautious to young players, and rightfully.
I am sure of his wage, he wouldn't tell a family member a lie. His Mum and Dad would love him to go to the Black and Whites as the family are Hull born and bred, but moved to Stanley/Outwood a few years back. Nearly telling his life story. 😄😄

Surprising how Agents put words into players mouth's. Don't be surprised if he moves shortly, if not to Saints,other clubs are interested.

I think it’s a dangerous game for agents to be playing in the current climate. If I was a player I’d want a contract for the next year or two that guarantees a wage, rather than chasing the big deal.
