I cant understand why Cas have announced they will be an internal hearing? Why not just have the hearing then announce the results/verdict.

I can't see him leaving Cas. He is Castlefords prized asset after Chase, so unless it is something so serious it is almost impossible for them to play him, he'll still be in a Cas shirt.

When I posted this on another thread




It was a warning. Any posts with "I heard", "A source told me" "Owen was" or "Owen did" will be deleted as hearsay putting this site at legal risk

And if people repost gossip after I've deleted it, I'll take further action if necessary

Cant understand Cas having a hearing so quick if the police are involved so that looks like good news there.
Most clubs wait until after court action so im expecting no further action re police,just my view on things mind.
Be interesting if it is bad and Cas keep him after the Haywood episode.

Shhhhhhhhhhh, I think it's a rumour that the police are involved.

In general terms, whenever a disciplinary investigation and a police investigation coincide over the same issue (for example an employee caught with their hand in the till) the disciplinary investigation will be deferred until the police investigation is concluded; that's often at the request of the police. I'm not sure it's a requirement, but it probably is good practice.

Not sure what you can infer from that, but there it is.

Thats what i said looks good coz if Cas are holding an inq then police wont be involved !

Hoping the gossip is a case of the "Chinese Whispers"... and the inquiry by the club is a new, tough stance by the club and coach and a warning about conduct to other squad members.

Have there been any reports in the press prior to Cas announcing the internal hearing? I'm not aware of any but it might explain why Cas would announce the fact they are holding an internal hearing.

Alternatively, the incident was so cut and dry that the police concluded their investigation in short order and now Cas are free to carry out their own internal procedure (which I'm available to help with, at very reasonable rates!)
