Aspinwall, a 29-year-old who was a member of the Great Britain squad for the 2006 Tri-Nations series without winning a cap, was arrested in January for dangerous driving after crashing his car when being chased at high speed by police.

The following month he was given a suspended jail sentence of eight months for assault occasioning actual bodily harm on Rob Jackson, a former Wigan and Whitehaven centre.

Is Gentle wondering why Cas play in Claret and Gold?

He had a bad spell at Cas, probably to do with his off field issues. At Hudds he did a pretty good job in the backrow.

If his head is right and he is ready to play then he could surprise a few people and do a good job as a back up.

Andy hay will also know plenty about him and his attitude.

Why do they have to be off quota? Do we not have a spot now Obst has left?

Just one of the questions we need to ask when we're signing someone. Not linked to anyone in particular. Maybe a better question would have been - is there a quota issue?

Coackayne did deserve a second chance, the problem was he also deserved proper punishment.
