Id say thats highly unlikely. Very important player for Hull and still time to run on his contract.

I think Ellis is a good shout, although if it is him id be disappointed as a hull fan that we didnt go for him. We need a backrower, have cash to spend and he will know Gentle well.

Garath as alreay said he wants to finish career at cas.
He does have another year on his contract in oz, so doubt very much it will be him, unless he's been released early.

To label the announcement as a 'star' signing I don't think Danny Tickle comes into that. That's no disrespect to Tickle who I'd have in a Cas shirt in a minute, but labelling this as a 'star' must be big time. You must be looking at someone well know in world rugby league. If its a back rower first choice would be Ellis. However someone like Nathan Hindmarsh could be an option. If it's a centre then you would be talking Gasiner. Now not saying the announcement would be either of these players, but someone like that would surely be in the 'star' bracket.

I also expect the announcement of Rangi's 2 year contract extension. When better time to annouce it then when the RL press were there.

Alongside that quote though he did say he hoped to stay in the NRL for a good few years yet, though seem's numerous clubs support missed that bit out

Quitet interested to see who you guy's sign up and as Millward's first signing could indeed be a real marker for you!

Must be a big star to have a press conference, when was the last time any RL club had a press conference for a signing, Very exciting?

Hull once did something similar and announced Micheal Eager, I hope you aren't as disappointed as we were.

Don't think you would have found any Cas fans disappointed to have signed Eager, he was a class player for us.
