I do like O'Brien, he's certainly better than he was when he was being loaned out all them years ago, however, if Rankin doesn't stay beyond 2020, then sell Wardle to Giants and use that money and Rankins wages to fund a move for Niall Evalds, kid keeps getting better year on year.

Thought Wardle was out of contract at Cas this year as is Rankin at the Giants?

That is right. Both are OOC at the end of this season.

And what a relief it'll be to be rid of Wardle once n for all. Rankin is a decent stop gap, but, I'd move heaven n earth to get evalds in.

Not for me. He's an OK player but that's it. We either stick with Rankin who is doing a good job or we bring in a top full back.

Harsh lol

Is he any better than what we already have. Not for me he’s a bit better than steady but I still wouldn’t see him in our starting 13

[Mucky1978]

He can’t defend I wouldn’t even say he was super league standard these days.

[Tigersbarmy]

Would be a good back up half or full back

"Steady" was a cracking full back!

o' brien has had a lot of serious head knocks over the years. seem to remember him having a long spell out after one of them.
