Just read that, and while admittedly we had Berrigan, Houghton and Tommy Lee at the time so were well stacked for hookers surely paying the 2 grand and then tying him down and potentially getting a transfer fee later if we wanted to move on was the better option??

Yeah, I always presumed he wanted to leave to play first team, but looks like he wanted to stay, just wanted a little bit more cash.

He isn't a winger, is injured alot, be a high salary and not played well while at Cas.

Weird signing by Rovers and one I wouldn't be signing

Rovers recruitment seems a little odd from the outside. They've signed Hiku to play full back and are looking at Evalds to play wing.

Don't know anything about him but he's played a decent number of games for a 21 year old in a key position.

As long as it isn't Jake Turpin, he has been mentioned by some media outlets as Super League bound, really average player. Blore would be a good acquisition, but I can't see it happening, hope I am wrong.

Not bothered about Nofoaluma. He's good out of yardage but has had question marks over his attitude, plus he'd use a quota spot.

He'd be way too expensive, he has a mega contract at Wests, which, even if they were to subsidise, would still be around marque money and I doubt he'd come anyway. Good finisher but a bad trainer, apparently.

He should easily get another contract in the NRL (Not Shaul), probably go back to the Storm.

If we are signing someone for this season, might need to move fast Warrington about to release/sack, so will have another quota spot to fill.
