Going off track a little rugby league live have reported that Sheffield are trying to sign Liam watts from cas and Eddie battye from wakey. I would like us to be in for players like this they may not be in their prime anymore but would be a upgrade on our current front row options.

Probably just a dream for us at the moment signing players of that calibre especially with the playing budget likely to get smaller next season after a poor showing this year.

Think Battye is 31 and Watts 33 so there are a few years left in them yet depending how they look after themselves. You wonder where Eagles get their funds as doubt they would come cheap. TBF i'm happy with getting Douglas, liked what I saw of him when here on loan, and he goes 26 this time so hopefully still to hit his peak.

I do not know if you saw the interview with Richard durgan on FB. I would of liked the person doing the interview to ask when they was talking about next years recruitment if our budget will be lower or higher as some have said. Just to clear it up or is it dependent on us finishing in the top 6.

I go to a few cas games with living locally and there games not clashing with ours and i would say that the Liam watts you see today is a shadow of the player he was a few years ago. He does have business interests outside of rugby so a move to part time rugby may suit him or he could be a good pick up for the side that gets promoted from the championship this year. As for Battye i have rated him since is first spell at the eagles and he reminds me of some of the forwards at Batley short and stocky and hard to pull down. Just on where do Sheffield get there money from i was talking to a group of there fans on friday night and they all said the council are putting money into the club make of that what you will.
There was an interesting interview with Craig Lingard on BBC Radio Leeds today saying how he’s not sure if he will even be at Cas next year. If that’s the case I’d be more than happy with him at Fax. I hope Richard Durgen has seen the interview and will drop him a phone call.

I agree and Ive said previously not a chance we would be this low in the table if Lingard was in charge but honestly I don't see this as a job that he would give up Batley for (Thats presuming he could have his old job back) as we have similar budgets and probably similar ambitions and that is where his heart is.
