I heard we had signed Mika on Monday 26th September – 18 days ago. I would rather us not let the info out until all the detail has been completed – we never seem to learn from past mistakes do we?

That's the difficulty though - plenty of fans have been asking for info about signings and the club probably thought they had the signing in the bag and weren't doing anything wrong by announcing that they hoped to confirm a signing from the NRL soon.

Players agents are generally the driving force in a deal and you can bet that even had Cas kept everything completely under wraps the agent would have alerted Hull KR to his players availability.

No great loss to my mind. There will be plenty of comparable players available when Millward goes looking. Its possible that we could be the one's doing the gazumping next time...

Announcing a squad with 96 English players is no good if only 5 or 6 of them play each week.

Hull KR had 8 overseas players last season and they didn't all play in every match so take your pick who missed out
