Sorry mate, slight misunderstanding of your post there! At least we agree that the guy needs to be given some support. IMO he can do a good job for us.

here here, get behind him, he's been getting better every week, cheer him don't jeer him!

according to the YEP Rhinos are showing interest in him

www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/l ... 5360191.jp [iA Super League club source told the YEP Rhinos are also monitoring Kiwi stand-off/back-rower Sione Faumuina, who is on a one-year contract at Castleford Tigers.[/i

And he had an absolute stormer last night, He killed Long and Wellens

been told he won't be at cas next season mate, there is more than the whino's interested

Yeah - he had his best game by a mile last night.

Big hits galore and some fantastic shows of skill.

He'll probably be playing in a miles better team next year and all the ones who have abused him for months will suddenly start moaning about why we let him go

On his way to Wakey then

He played well, got through a lot of work and put a couple of big hits on Long and Wellens.

Thats what I wanted to see all season if he played like that every game he would have been signed up already.

If he keeps it up Il have no complaints. I give credit where its due.

So the big second row/loose forward bashed a scrum half and a fullback



Wow, he must be awesome

Haven't seen them yet, have you??

Lost me there morrisey, hope you get the point i'm making

The biggest thing against Faumuina is he's an overseas player and with the allowance reducing to 6 players next year we're struggling to fit him in.

We've already got Sargent, Sherwin, Chase, Widders & McGoldrick contracted for 2010 so can only have 1 further overseas player. Which means keeping only 1 of Faumuina and Evans or getting a new player in altogether.

At present I'd choose Evans over Faumuina as he's more consistent.

That said, I can't understand for the life of me why the club gave Widders a 3 yr deal or McGoldrick a 4yr deal, while at the same time refusing to offer one of our players of 2008 - Luke Dorn - anything more than a 1yr extension!

It was 2 years?

Luke Dorn didn't get an extension because:

A. He didn't want one
B. Cas got better with Chase

Widders got a three year deal and is signed until the end of 2011. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 555982.stm

Widders got a three year deal and is signed until the end of 2011. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 555982.stm

You don't need to sign Sione because apparently Langley is 'nailed on' for Cas. Apparently Bulls don't want to extend his contract.

Who said nailed on



And no harm in more back rowers anyway

Who said Lynch was nailed on?

Langley doesn't even need a contract renewal yet anyway.

I don't think he looks much different, he's not a small guy by nature it would seem and his pace doesn't seem to be affected. He certainly doesn't belong in the centres, but there isn't really any other option at the moment apart from McGoldrick who is unlikely to play there.

As for Sione, thought he had a decent game apart from the silly moment at the end getting caught on the last tackle. You can't defend any player getting caught like that when the clock is ticking away.

I heard some guy in the crowd yelling "effing doing something" on his first touch of the ball on Saturday. He set up a try on his second or third touch. He just can't win with some people.



I personally don't think he has had a bad game in a long time and I hope he continues to improve.

Sione had an average game. He doesn't think with his head most of the time, which is the most annoying aspect of his game.

He's got ability but his downfall is not being able to think quickly, especially when he's under pressure, leads to mistakes that we can't afford to make as a team. No chance of him being retained IMO

All he had to do on our penultimate set of six on Sat was to pass the ball. We had an overlap, we would have been in. But he didn't, he just took the tackle on the last. he was a major contributor to our loss.

OK, i'm off the fence with this guy now, no more Mr nice guy trying not to upset the Hippies on here!

He is garbage, lost us games on his own, jumps out of the line, passing wild, kicking garbage....I wouldn't have him in my side for the rest of the year
