he is yes. he has sorted deals for foster and Milner however he didn't seem happy after he secured turner a new deal then had a dig after we signed mata'utia.

My opinion on the agent is he as too many players on his books mainly young lads where he's built up a large portfolio,he's now trying to cash in on these younger lads as they hit there first proper contracts which I suppose is his job but it shouldn't be at the expense of a lad ending up at a club he doesn't want to be at.

I was always a bit uneasy how one agent had half the team on his books anyway. If he had a client we seemed to always get linked to them.If he was heavily involved in the Hardaker fiasco then it’s no wonder we have soured on him.

Not happy with what ? The money ?

The lads never played first team and jumped ship to RU then decided he didn't like it so wants to come back to RL.

Our offer wont have been huge thats for sure

We can sign who we want. So reading between the lines of your comment i assume it goes something like this.

Cas - We want to keep Turner heres the offer. Cant afford anymore.
Agent - Ok, Turner happy to stay. Signed.
Cas - Sign Mata'utia
Agent - Erm thought you had no money ?

Or am i completely wrong

It’s nothing to do with the agent who cas signs he’s, the agent, employed by a player not the club if the agent isn’t happy tough not our problem, jog on.

More along the lines agent having a dig at Powell saying Peter is here to play full back, when agent just gets a deal for his young English full back (that had offers elsewhere)

I'm sure Powell was honest about Turners two year plan, however the Peter situation with Leigh happened pretty quickly even if it has come out we were looking at him.

Agent has a issue with clubs signing overseas players (even though he has Fifita on his books and someone like Baldwimson is now on loan at Fax)

Ah well he will have to pick his dummy up off the floor then wont he. How much that played a part in the McClelland deal i have no idea.

I can see PM playing right centre anyway

Exactly the game played by the agents, give me more or I'm going. Accepts contract when no interest from other clubs.

I guess players who want to play for Cas do and those who don't don't. I want players who want to play for us or our coaching team or the fans not money.

That’s not confirmation. That’s just a newspaper report.

I'm still a bit confused on whats happened with McClelland he left to go play in the junior rugby union world cup I don't think that's happened yet ? I remember reading how much he was looking forward to it ...suddenly he's being touted to cas wire and leeds and God knows who else

U20s world cup was in may in which Callum played mainly as an inside centre. Having spoken to Callum earlier in the year I knew he wasn't enjoying either union or been away from home and his girlfriend. No great surprise that he's come back to league and it was always odds on the moment he left cas.

From what I understand.

No other club can offer a player of Turners age more than we have to prize them away. Without negotiating a fee with us. So Turner reluctantly signed a lesser deal than he ideally wanted.

Im a massive believer in Turner and think he has all the attributes to make a great full back after watching him for a long time one thing that I was really disappointed in was when he came on vs widnes fair enough it was on the wing not his fav position but he just looked like he honestly couldn't be bothered. Hope this was a one off as a young player coming through he should be chomping at the bit to do all he can when ever he gets the chance to play and off the back of efforts come the rewards.
