Real shame as gem of a player when at Saints.
Let's throw all the Eastmond money on a transfer fee for Trueman Now. Offer them Mclelland, Sutty, Lui, even Myler....! They may bite....

Cash yes, Lui retiring Sutcliffe Myler both under contract next year, That Leaves McLelland, nit much to bargain with except hard cash.

I agree.

I think the only thing we can offer Castleford for Trueman is a large amount of money.

Even Martin who is linked with them is off contract at the end of the year.

McLelland back to cash + money for Trueman?

I was pretty shocked to read this. Given he's hardly had any time on the pitch in match conditions he must be absolutely miles off the pace in training to have decided so early he's not going to make the grade. I guess we should be applauding his honesty and taking this decision because he'd be perfectly entitled to continue sitting in the stands and not making the grade for the next 2 years of his contract and it would have made a bit of a mockery of the club's judgement.

McLelland must be absolutely gutted with his injury situation. Desperately needed a (last?) opportunity to show the club he has a place here in what must surely be the make or break season for him

Be a kick in the nads for Powell who, if half the cas board is to be believed, has already lined up the core of their squad for wire

Completely agree. I bet McLelland can not believe his luck. All these injuries and he never got the chance to get the games he desperately needs.

Hopefully he gets fit + we give him the rest of the season to show us what he's got.

A team surprise and a shame. It could have worked well. Fair play for the lads honesty

Credit to him for making that call early. I know I'll be shot down for this but it begs the question why offer 2 years not having a clue how he would go?

Im sure those two years had conditions.
