Castleford signed him last year, has their recruitment been poor?

Every squad needs a balance of first teamers and squad men, Larroyer would clearly fall in to the second category, and will probably take Blythes spot as I think he's out of contract?

I'm not too sure he's ever played for Tigers? I know he was loaned straight to Bradford.

He's played a few games for Cas. We could do with him back.

He was indeed sent off to Bradford. As said below, he played a couple of games, but that's the point really, Cas didn't sign him as a first team player, they signed him to cover injuries - they've been fairly fortunate in that regard this year, so he hasn't been used. If Currie had been fit, would Julien have had the gametime he's had this year?

Yes, Hughes would have had a 'rest', but, I understand what you are saying and as a swap for Blythe seems reasonable

Re: Rumours : Tue Jul 04, 2017 4:55 pm  

At least he has championship experience we cannot blame smith for not planning for next season lol

Re: Rumours : Tue Jul 04, 2017 6:08 pm  

He was loaned out to Bradford to get fit as he hadn't been playing. Came into the team when we had a lot of forwards injured but we have some back now and others close. Didn't get much chance in attack but very reliable in defence and a bit of a workhorse with a good engine.

Larroyer - rubber duck off

If we sign him I give up on rugby league

I read "it's OK if it's a direct replacement for Blythe" and smiled to myself. No wonder we are gash with that attitude.

Hodkinson Move

Trent Hodkinson has been linked with a move to Warrington

Could Trent Hodkinson be in line to replace Gidley at Warrington next year?

It's been a challenging season in the NRL for Hodkinson, and the playmaker has been linked with a move to Super League.

The Newcastle halfback played in just his eighth NRL game of the season on Sunday against the Tigers, having spent the previous seven on the bench, and it's believed he's weighing up his options.

He would be a good controlling half in SL. A good kicker too. Would be a good piece of a far from complete jigsaw. Get him signed
