Hope its not true but I've heard there may be money troubles for you guys again hence QLT being released.

Behave that's bollx..regular practice for s/l clauses,although i do question us agreeing to that in his instance.

Got bugger all to do with anything other than a player being given a opportunity at a club better than ours who have been crying out for a FB.

I'm really bitter about this move. The work LS28 have put in in not only getting the player here but also making it an outstanding welcome with the flags etc and there has been no loyalty in return. I understand that players have to look after themselves but hes obviously only a stop gap and will be looking for a new club come the end of the season when Cas go routing for someone of a higher calibre.

It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if this was intentional. He opts for us over other teams, knowing that he will get in the side. Allowing him to show his talents off whilst also knowing that Castleford may just cotton on to it as they've had no out and out fullback all year.

anyway, im gutted. thought this player may have been the spark to get us in to the 4. On the other hand, this may be a blessing in disguise a la Manning and the teams unity.

JWH, over to you

A few SL clubs looked at him when he was at Eagles but didn’t follow through because of his defence.
Now he’s a telling bit older I can’t see what has changed and based on history, I predict it won’t work out.
The closest to him at Cas is Roberts and he sometimes struggles especially at 1.
DP is just taking a punt without too much risk involved for him.
Q is just taking a punt on a last SL chance before he bows out and if it doesn’t work then someone else will have him for a season so not much risk for him either.
Fax have benefitted over the few games he’s been here but we have the most to lose from this departure as it will impact more on us than any of the others involved.
End of the day you can’t stop people from having options and choices as hard as it is when they don’t choose you.

Bollox!

LS28 have already come out and said there's a pot of cash should it be needed for a new player and Matt Shaw of league express confirmed that we are 'actively in the market for new additions'

I've said it on social media so ill say it here. Can't blame QLT he had a good opportunity and played the system!

Fax have brought a player back into the spotlight, given him game time, paid him a salary and have ultimately been left with nothing. Yeah, we may get some players on DR from cas but that's like your mate sleeping with your wife and then lending you his lawnmower! The blame for this sort of thing lies firmly at the feet of the RFL. As long as they allow these types of clauses to exist amd be valid, allow championship players to sign for SL clubs without renumeration and as long as they continue to treat the championship with utter contempt then no club in the championship will ever move on. Its time now for championship chairmen to really stand up and make their voices heard. The first step is refusing dual registration, every club across the board.

Hear, hear! If the SL clubs are then forced to have reserve teams to give fringe players game time, and further more develop local talent, then they wouldn't squander the SKY money to sign up "cover players" only to loan them out again. Who'll welcome QLT if he came back on DR? Certainly not me. For me it's more about commitment and wanting to wear the Fax shirt. Come on lads, give Batley a hiding ...... we don't need QLT. Sharpy hat trick from full back, eh?

LS28 although not doing it to receive any praise are the ones coming out of all this that merit some.
Credit to you lads you deserve it.

Just another example of us been done over

(Higham and Brad Davis before this) and more recently championship club been used. Team spirit can only go so far and thought QLT was the spark that we needed to unlock defences in tight games. Hope we can get someone else in because I reckon we will need it but in the mean time JWH chance for the young lad to get back into the fold.

First club to come calling were Salford, they would have triggered his Super League clause.

Cas “became aware of availability” and decided to give him a go because of injuries.

If he doesn’t work out suspect he will be released back on DR. Relationship with Cas still ok as Maher and Green on DR.

No perfect, but in circumstances I think best outcome.

Didn't we sign Aaron Heremaia but then he went to Widnes ?

I don't know the circumstances on the Brad Davis deal, but the Micky Higham deal was Fax wanted to sign him for nothing,Saints came In and gave Leigh an amount of cash plus a player, as well as offering Mickey better terms,it was a no brainer for both Leigh and Higham.

Aye.

Pete, again Aaron chose to sign for a SL Club and more cash, you can't blame him.

Ian, if I go in't White Horse and buy a pint of bitter for £3.00 and someone tells me it's £2.50 next door in't Black Bull, I don't tell the barmaid to pour it back in't barrell do I? I've already bought it!

QLT, what does it all matter? I've just watched an appalling match Hudds - v- Catalans, a CC QUARTER FINAL watched by about a thousand. I remember watching Fax beat Wakey in a quarter final watched by 13 thousand. Rugby League is dying a slow and painful death ……. RIP

No he didn't. His Mrs was homesick so he went back to NZ. Played NSW cup then signed for Auckland Warriors for a couple of years. Then he went to Hull then Widnes.

I've just watched that. A pitifully poor game. The lack of skill and class was alarming. The crowd, or lack of it, from a Huddersfield point of view was embarrassing. Shocking, boring rubbish would be a kind description of the game and Sky's decision to cut it off without any summary at the end was a blessing. Utter tripe!

Maybe so Pete, but if Higham had already signed for Fax then surely he would have had to honour the deal , which suggests he hadn't signed and no deal was in place.

Charles Remember the Good Old Days A Hand shake Your Word was your Bond Etc Now its The World of Agents Snouts in the Trough No Loyalty !!

Onwards To Batterley we Will do it


Agree with everybody Tonights Game was utter Tish

Bin. You've got enough to deal with your own problems.

Hope it's not true but a clue is 52 of your neighbors would like to know if they can have their lawnmowers back.

I’m sure the club have received money for Q. I’m sure these clauses don’t read ‘ if a Super League club want you to play for them we will just let you go.” QLT was our player therefore money has to be paid. No club would let any player leave in the middle of a contract without some sort of remuneration.
DP was saying they have been looking for replacement for Hardacher since his departure. You haven’t been looking very hard Darryl! Why didn’t you sign QLT when Toronto released if he is so important to you squad now? I wonder if something has been / or is going on between the two clubs. Not that I’m a conspiracy theorist but it does seem of Cas want him now.

as far as know all championship clubs standard contracts have if SL club wants they can sign. not put there by the championship clubs but RFL/SL
