Nope, all French players are classed as fed trained as of next year.

(a) I am calm
(b) I did read the OP
(c) Lots of threads get derailed and locked, but they don't get removed.

an option??

just a guess but it could of been removed because maybe something libelous was posted on it ?in which case the forum would of removed it rather than just locking it.

Dowes and Radford are going, and i like the clubs quietness in the transfer stakes it's what keeps these threads going

And it's about time too!
Is it the same for British players going to Catalan? Would imagine so. Wouldn't be a bad idea if i was a player, couple of years in the south of France sound champion!

Lee said he hadn't made his mind up this afternoon, but would do this week

bosc to us

i think rangi chase would complement our squad very well but i can't see castleford letting him go as he makes them tick. besides i dont think he's ooc or non-quota

i thought tomas bosc was a quota player too

according to the papers we weren't interested in willie mason so it would be good to keep radders if we can't sign another forward

Willie Mason is a non fed player so wouldn't be able to sign for us anyway, as for Bosc, the rules change from next season, so he would be able to sign for us.

it must be true then it was in the papers

do you believe we are trying to sign mason?

If I remember right expro you said we were looking at Mason, so how's it going to be an interesting week or you not givng anything away like normal ?

we most definately were but things like his ridiculous wage demands or the three year deal he wanted pushed us to other avenues!!
but we definately were and we spent a lump of legal cash exploring the possibility of a loophole to get him non quota too , not anymore

i know nowt havent you heard

What I thought really to be honest

Rangi Chase is just the type of player we need imo. Plays off the cuff rugby just like Tansey, but I think if he did come to us then he wouldn't be as effective as he is for Cas because we'd still play boring rugby and wouldn't throw the ball about enough which is a shame. We haven't been an exciting team since 2004



Said that if he did come, I'd be happy with:

1. Tansey
2. Sharp
3. Turner
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Chase (I know I'm going to get slated for not having Horne anywhere in the back line, but thats my opinion)
7. Long

Would still like a centre in the mould of Gidley who uses skill and put theirs wingers away instead of our usual centres who use more of their power ie Yeamo. But still with the choices we have at centre (Turner, Whiting, Yeaman) we aren't in a rush to sign one this season.

rangi chase signed a new contract with cas this season so it won't happen

Close. He signed one last season and is contracted until 2013.

why ask then

and it would take a big fee to get him(chase)

What you heard on the subject we cant talk about

nothing how bout you

nice avatar, shows class

Spoke to a guy early season who works for Cas, he said Westerman was looking for an NRL deal.
