Lyne?? No thanks. He will be playing in the Championship next season

The majority of the team have been on the beach all this season.

Ruddy hell you’re getting desperate Dave.

Westerman and Macgillvary were bad enough but Lyne?

OK maybe not Lyne, but if Carlos did go, we would have Sutcliffe and Scott as first choice centres, would just need another backup.

Mcgilvary and Westerman would improve our 13 significantly

You forget to change your calendar Dave, its not April 1st.

Think most are missing the point, we have to do better with our quota spots, on last seasons form, Carlos will be out of thec17, that's a massive waste of a quota spot, I'd bring in a UK based centre to replace him and the have 2 spots for a 7 and backrower.

Lyne was the first name in my head, but if I had the choice of

Lyne, Volkman and Alick or Carlos, Volkman and a Luis Johnstone, I'd choose the former.

Just can't see where we are getting a quality backrower we desperately need without a quota spot.

If we sign Jacob Allick and Olly Russel, our recruitment goes from alright to best case scenario IMO. Would just be frustrating that we lost Swift.

I’m happy our squad’s reducing in size, it’s been bloated with average signings for a while. Time to take a chance on youth

Westerman would have been an ideal signing for us.
Castlefords player of the season
We are poor at 13 and Westerman would have added a huge attacking threat at 13 and improved our attack and defence.
My interest is seeing a winning team and playing good R/L.
Not interested who he shagged at the back of the pub.
It lacks ambition if the club continue to play Cator at 13 or fill in with Lane or Fash

Jack Johns follows FC on Instagram, would make sense if we're going for Olly Russell
