New prop : Thu Jul 20, 2023 8:06 pm  

Hearing wakefield have snapped another new prop from under the noses of cas,which will see the big lad returning to his native west yorkshire.

May be wrong just what i hear

George Burgess? We'll certainly be keeping our medical staff busy if true.

Doubt if Cas would want another prop now. Signed the Greek lad and Massey, Lawler, and Matagi back for next game. All props.

We have

Fifita
Bowden
Atoni
Battye
Proctor
Salabio
Shaw

Why would we need Burgess?

I get what you’re saying PT but is Proctor a prop- able to give the full minutes required in that position and both Shaw and Salabio are for the future - now to make the numbers up. I’d snap Burgess up if true - we’re desperate!

Burgess on a short term deal for rest of season allowing us to take a close look at him is a no lose for me.

If he comes in and does a job, great, if not he will have cost us a few quid, but nothing more.

Well worth the risk if true.

Should stay well clear.

And Whitbread & Eseh.

Burgess has only been back playing amateur level for a couple of months after retiring because he couldn’t cut it anymore. He isn’t going to be anywhere near top level match fit and we don’t have time ‘to take a look at him’ in our position. If we are still spending money i’d rather try and find a decent three-quarter with it.

Why did you make him an offer then?
