Haven't looked to be honest, I don't tend to go on other forums much.

Its all about squad depth next year, I'd love to see us sign a half back and a prop/second row

Epalahame Lauaki is yours.

There are now a few rumours around with a Welsh connection.
Harris as asst coach, Gil Dudson 2nd row/prop and now Thomas.
I do think Thomas is seen by the club as bait to catch one or maybe two half decent Welsh Union players. Maybe the RFL/SL will class Union players coming over to League as "club trained" rather than fed or non fed.

IL mentioned a few weeks ago he'd like to sign Union players. There's one thing we do know about IL and that is he's ahead of the game leaving the rest of us playing catch up. Bearing in mind IL's statement and suddenly all this Welsh activity at the club, I do think a coincidence it is not!

Well im pretty shocked that we are being so strongly linked with Gareth Thomas, don't think i have been so suprised with a signing since Ian Millward joined Wigan if it is confirmed.

Is the lack of available centres really that bad or is there more here than meets the eye?

Willie Isa to Widnes.

Agreed. Cracking little prospect.

I'm sure I read he was out of contract this year and being chased by multiple clubs. Not seen him play for Cas of recent, must be injured I presume.

Yes, but didn't he recently sign a new contract?
