1 month loan deal, confirmed on his Twitter.

Good signing, means Tansey can continue at FB too.

He's a great player with a developing attacking brain. Had a loan spell at Widnes last season, played at 6 and helped them beat Wigan. Notice he went AFTER we played you! Finally, he can kick a goal from pretty much anywhere. Should do well for you with Chase out for the next two matches.

Wonder if he'll get the goal kicking duties instead of Ellis (that's if we score a try

)

Very happy about this! At last common sense from the club.

We will still have him after Rangi has served his ban. Options at halfback

Happy with this.

Pleased with this,we have acted fast to the Chase ban and O'brien sounds a useful player.

Goes to show the different mentality at the boardroom now.

O'Brien is a superb young player.
Wire are working on him to become Briers successor.

A few of you may remember one of his early first team appearances, he ripped you apart.

was that the 62-0 around 21 months ago?

Hardly a massive achievement given our record over the past 12 months+.

Oh, and the fact he had good players around him. I'd rather judge him in a weak side where there's more pressure on him to perform.

He played in a weak side - Widnes & got good raps.

He played a fair number of games for Widnes at the start of last season, so you could ask their views for a 'neutral' opinion.

I don't think pressure will be an issue, he is a very calm player, with a quick pair of hands. He is more than capable of leading a side around the pitch, but don't expect to see him ripping the defence apart with darting runs. His goal kicking is exceptional, I would rate him above Bret Hodgson.

Personally I think this is a win win situation for both clubs (and GOB of course).

He's no Rangi but certainly a capable Sl player - if we defend like we did on Sunday then we give ourselves a massive chance, whoever the standoff is.

With Ellis, Clark, Milner and Tansey we have enough creative quality - O'Brien can only add to that

great to have another half back at the club, it will do the young lad good to work with rangi during his spell with cas , im sure smith has considered this when loaning him out.
cant believe people are branding tansey as a creative player - we need to be careful about bulling him up ....hes average at best and will be on dual reg at keithley if we had Dixon in the backs !

^ he's had two solid games so far to be fair

if anything I'd be dual registering Dixon when he's fit to give him some game time

O'Briens been training with Cas Tigers since Tuesday. I fancy him for a starting place on Saturday against the Bulls.

One thing is for sure his place kicking is as good as both Hodgson and Sinfield.
So a high percentage of 6 point tries.

Did Cas Tigers get him on loan from Wolves last year and he didn't feature for the first team?

I dont think it will mater who players on the weekend, i think we have Mr Ganson, so the other 34 people on the pitch wont mater as he thinks we all go to see him.
