Seymour was not as bad as some made out. Just didn't work out for him.
Good defensively , but not as dynamic as chase.
There again, who is?.
If he's sorted out his demons, he could be a good player for you.

Its a massive IF though isn't it?

He left numerous clubs in the NRL due to discipline problems, and things went the same way at Hull.

If a club with your resources and alleged structure can't (or wouldn't) help the guy what chance my club?.

If he does sign he hope he proves me wrong but I have seen this all too often at Cas, see class players leave only to be replaced with poor quality,eg...

Nikau....Tuuta (ok he played for N.Z too but a massive gap in talent)

Blackmore.....Adrian Flynn

D.Orr......Rudder

There is probably many more I've forgotten.

I've got it on good authority that Salford have signed Sammut. To be he looks like plan B after failing to get Chase. Good as they both are, I'm not sure if they'd compliment each other very well.

Keep hearing we are getting Tim Smith from WTW to ease their financial burden. Not in the same class as Chase but it would be a decent signing for us.

I would highly doubt that fella.

Tim Smith isn't coming.

Brett Seymour has signed a deal. A 3 month trial with a 9 month contract waiting. There are clauses in it should he relapse.

I will support Brett Seymour in his efforts to get back to his best. He gets my backing just as anyone else who wears the Black and Amber.

Same old Cas when will they learn wonder how many more seasons will we have to endure until the penny drops with them that these sort signings don't work they should look back these past seasons it did not work then don't think it will now

Anyone heard he's coming on a 3 month trial. Seymour that is.

Re: When Rangi goes, who should we buy? : Tue Aug 20, 2013 12:21 pm  

3 months with an additional 9 months if it works out apparently.

Good for him I really hope it works out, I didn't think he was a bad player.

If he has sorted out his problems you will have a player that wants\needs to impress so that cannot be a bad thing.
