If we were looking to play Sezer or Austin in place of Gale, the club would hardly announce that with fanfare. I would be surprised if Austin plays anywhere else than half back unless we have injuries - Myler has been great at FB again this year and Walker is a great talent if he can get fit. Centres and loose forwards we have coming out of our ears. The only position Austin can cover which we need cover for is half back - unless we're thinking wing like Bennett...

If it's done you would have thought the club would announce who they are retaining. If recruitment is done then you would think Vuniyayawa was a given as we are still a little short up front. So then it comes down to Hurrell and Martin. Martin was linked to a move to Cas earlier in the season. Strangely Hurrell hasn't been linked to anyone.

Hurrell has been linked to saints according to his Wikipedia page

Not sure we can take that seriously.

I’d take that more seriously than somebody’s opinion on here

He might be quicker but both Briscoes are better allround players imo

Certainly not a big fan of Eden but not convinced Luke is better.Eden does have a good try to game ratio.Played 79 trys 82 for Cas.

And he’s contributed/caused/allowed the opposition to score 165 try’s due to his brain farts

I don't know mate: we have Leeming, Dwyer, Johnson, and Bentley has played there - plus O'Connor could. I don't see any more need at hooker - certainly not what Austin could bring anyway.

Looking at his skillset and the way we play I can only see Stand Off or Fullback for Austin. He's not a winger we all know that, and I don't see him at Hooker or Loose Forward either as he's just not physical enough. He could possibly play as an emergency Centre, but we'd have to have an injury crisis of biblical proportions to need to play him there.

I agree but would be harsh on Myler if he starts before him.Its 6 for me all day long.
