HDM are saying 6figure fee which seems about right if Gareth O'Brian went for 100k and dream team member Murdoch-Masilla was 175k

I have faith in the club that they have done the right thing.

On the plus side, it's only Liam Watts we've lost. Not exactly like he's Luke Thompson is it!

I think this quote from Radford says it all:

“I would like to wish Liam all the best moving forward and hope he can find some consistency off the field to benefit his career in the future."

So long Liam and thanks for all the fish.

Plus the part where Radford states 'We have some great, young, enthusiastic front rowers coming through at the club who appreciate our values and behaviours' thinks says a lot about the situation too.

Still disappointed to lose Wattsy as he was a very good player for us but no matter how good any player is they can not come before the club. Think everyone involved in this tough decision should be applauded.

Quote of Liam Watts about Cas "They are a big set of lads here but they are a good set of lads also.", I can't help but think back to the Paul King era. Also people constantly say we have some good players coming through, if we do not turn over players how will they get game time?

We have signed josh jones I believe , ok player but personally think any back rower we signed should have been top class with us losing Ellis and also mini and manu at the end of this season .

He provides a bit of impact that's for sure

If we really have signed Jones I think alot of people will be underwhelmed by it and very quickly change their minds once he has played a few games. Really powerful guy, much more impactful than any of our current back row.

Last year he had 104 tackle busts. This year he has 28 (SL high is 32) and leads the league for offloads. As a comparison, Mini (a powerful runner by anyones standards) had 70 last year and is on 12 this. Both played 25 games.

Hang on, Hang on!! 1st post and it's a we've signed Josh Jones post. Going to need more proof around here then that I'm afraid

We’ll have to see then , been on before but can’t log in so new account .
