Doubt we can afford his wages.
Re: worth a punt?
We have the option of taking fekis wages out of the cap spend

100% worth the punt would make our centres 10x stronger.

Re: worth a punt?
No.
For me, he's another player who has some real strengths but also some real weaknesses.
He's a real strike threat near the line, but he can't defend for toffee, his ball-retention is poor and he's injured too often.

Re: worth a punt?
No, for the simple reason that his legs aren't up to it. He's carrying too much weight and whilst ever he is, he will forever be out with the injuries he always seems to suffer with.

Re: worth a punt?
I'd love us to have one big rumbling, difficult to put down, full of off loads style centre but not sure he's it for the reasons listed above.
Unplayable on his day - but doesn't have enough of those days.

Re: worth a punt?
Jake Webster was a similar player to him before he came over with being injury prone, if he came and turned out to be anything like Jake Webster I would be happy.
Re: worth a punt?
Yep, i was thinking about Jake and how he was injury prone until he was coached correctlyMrRugby123 wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 12:53 Jake Webster was a similar player to him before he came over with being injury prone, if he came and turned out to be anything like Jake Webster I would be happy.

I doubt Webster would have been on the kind of money that Hurrell will be looking for, though.MrRugby123 wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 12:53 Jake Webster was a similar player to him before he came over with being injury prone, if he came and turned out to be anything like Jake Webster I would be happy.

He’s gonna have to take a massive paycut anywhere he goes though.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 15:12I doubt Webster would have been on the kind of money that Hurrell will be looking for, though.MrRugby123 wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 12:53 Jake Webster was a similar player to him before he came over with being injury prone, if he came and turned out to be anything like Jake Webster I would be happy.
Re: worth a punt?
Really don’t rate hurrell.don’t know how he’s got in 2 dream teams.yes good close to the line.but doesn’t do enough in general play for me
Re: worth a punt?
The caps not the issue you'd still need the cash which I doubt we have .fecki would still need paying .

Re: worth a punt?
I really hope not,
He’s a unit on his day but is very overrated and every year he’s not getting any younger
If we want success we have to model ourselves like Leeds. Build from youth which is what brought them their glory years.
They broke the mould spending big on him. And he’s plugged a gap - But he will end up at somewhere like Leigh should they survive. Basically someone where the owner has a few quid and wants to act like they’re major players.

A club like Leeds can keep players once developed but Cas are not able to keep talent.dettoriman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2021, 05:51 I really hope not,

Re: worth a punt?
I think Cas could have done more over the years to hang onto it to be honest. For a lot of years we focused on journeymen Aussies and the last time I remember a whole crop of local talent being given the opportunity to develop was the needs must of the relegation years
Re: worth a punt?
Our of interest, in your opinion, who has left Cas and kicked on in their careers? I can’t think of any from recent times. Even Darryl Clark, after winning both MoS and Young MoS in the same season, regressed when he first went to Warrington and is only just looking like the player we had in 2014. Westerman, Arundal, Thompson, Chase even further back to Tony Smith, Danny Orr, etc didn’t look as good once they left Cascovid tiger wrote: ↑02 Apr 2021, 07:53A club like Leeds can keep players once developed but Cas are not able to keep talent.dettoriman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2021, 05:51 I really hope not,

Re: worth a punt?
Luke Gale looked good last year for Leeds but with the amount of money we received and the age he is at I think we got a good deal.Fumper27 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2021, 11:04Our of interest, in your opinion, who has left Cas and kicked on in their careers?
