Do you guys realise that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone to say anything? That very page which says he was born in Keighley also says lower down he was born in Castleford!

Watching him play a game earlier in the season and the commentators were talking about him being from Cas. They even talked about the pubs they'd been in when they were once in Cas, while on the same subject.

Thats a negative, Bill Forget Wikipedia (Someone edited it based on what i said on here) or indeed the Sun, various Australian newspapers and the Tigers website. However, check this out below. It would appear to be the first piece of journalism that has actually spoken to him and gathered a few facts, rather than pick up ill-informed titbits off idiots on RL forums. He played 3 games in Pennine League Division 4 as a guest last season. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,15314_7180504,00.html

Looks a good player though so more than happy to have him in the England squad! Agreed. The article on the website shows someone up at Cas as a bandwaggoning buffoon , unfortunately. http://www.castigers.com/article.php?id=1781 Catch it, before it disappears....
