Correct.

Unless Joe Arundel has said in no uncertain terms that he will not sign for Cas.

Regardless of that, Cas have released a statement on Twitter advising it was due to an internal human error and that Joe is a Cas player and is in talks for a new deal.

Do you honestly believe that?

Arundel's agent has already done the deal with Hull FC and Joe has already told Cas he's going, it can't physically be signed or announced due to the anti-tampering law, But it's done.

There is no smoke without fire and the rumour is that he will go, I personally think it is a done deal and it will be announced after the anti-tampering deadline although I have no evidence that this is the case. Until it is confirmed by the club though, he is still our player.

It's been on the cards for a while now.

As for human error, who writes that sort of thing on a player's bio 'by accident'?

Re: Joe Arundel signs for Hull FC?? : Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:34 am  

There is no defending Cas again, were a club run worse than any of the amature clubs around us.

People can't go on defending RW after the 30th when RW has again failed on a promise, If the ground is sold by the 30th then I will retract and hail RW as the messiah.

The line is in the sand Richard (yes i cried wolf ) Wright its up to you to produce

Posted elsewhere, but here goes:

I am not sure what people expect at times. If you look at the current crop:
Owen, Thompson, Clare, Arundel, Huby, Massey, Holmes, Atkinson made debut, Davies, Brierly probably, Milner, Clarke, Walker are all young players who have developped here. (Owen may be out of form, but he is still the one from 2 years ago, some are young, but thats OK)

Add to that Shenton and Westerman who for various reasons were acceptable departures - I don't think that Eden and the alledged and assumed departure of Arundel to Hull qualifies as an exodus.
In the same period we have obtained Chase, Dixon, Griffin, Mitchell potentially who are young players who had options and have big improvement in them, not to mention the next batch in the 20's as yet out of our headlines.

It would be nice to keep them all - agree, but could it be that Westy is in his ear, they are pals and the player himself wants to play with his mates or wants to wring more dollars out somewhere? Would I rather he stayed yes, but he ain't Mark Gasnier and on the whole we have been ahead.
Yeah that kid went to Hull KR and is OK, but we have OK. Gledhill went to Wakey, again, OK, but I wouldn't swap Massey for him.

Weird how things get a head of steam and get a proper furore going on here. I think people are getting way too giddy about one lad.
The web site thing is tricky, if someone did it maliciously, we should sack them, I would consider that misconduct likely to cause loss or damage to the business. That'll need to be in private.

Again the buck stops with the CEO, if the club were run correctly the only people with the password would be the marketing team. These people would need to get any changes to the website signed off by the CEO before they implemented them.

Trust me this is how it works in the real world with real companys, if said person has made a change without authority then appropriate action should be taken. This would be done behind closed doors

Heard this ages ago. Would not surprise me. Although in all honesty, he hasn't played much this season, and really hasn't been missed

We've definitely missed a centre this year. Arundel is way better then using dixon there.

TBF I think Dixon has done a good job.
Griffin on the other hand has been absolute gash, I still don't understand how he even makes the 19 let alone a starting place!
