Steve Gill announces Cas to Sign England international

[Andrew Eastell]

Steve Gill has announced that Castleford will sign a England international forward for next season, he hasn't named them but does anyone have any ideas?

[TheDuke]

Walmsley was the rumour

Whitehead?

[Andrew Eastell]

I'd have either, although isn't Graham due to be released by the Bulldogs? 

[TheDuke]

yes, I can only ever see him playing for saints somehow

he is the wrong side of 30 for Powell,

[EastLondonMike]

Brett Ferres? Chris Heighington?

[ravens88]

One of the Burgess Twins.....

Yes.  I have heard Tom Burgess.

[TheDuke]

Could well be, or Luke Burgess?

[ravens88]

The twins are on good money by all accounts and have not fulfilled their potential in recent times. A change in scenery working with the best coach in Super League could do wonders for this career.

Graham would be a spring chicken compared to Lynch...

Wonder if Wardle is classed as a forward now.

Rumour in Cas is that Walmsley is a done deal but I find it hard to believe.

Burgess twin might be on the money, either of them.

[TheDuke]

Wardle could be a good shout

[Man of Kent]

Is Wardle an England international tho?

[snapski]

I've heard it's definitely not Wardle. 

So it probably will be ?

[Lowdesert]

How many England forwards are there on the market?  There is interest in TB.

There will also be interest in Charlie Gubb, I mentioned last week.  Good forward.

[Crunchers Dad]

Denny Solomona ?

John Wilkin?

[ravens88]

Can't be Wardle as he played for.Scotland

Can't be Big Al unless you count a flying to Aus for a week's holiday as an Eng international!!!!!

England's own Wally Lewis (or Jonathan Thurston depending on what day of the week it is) can play anywhere...

Exactly,  lots of Cas fans getting giddy about Walmsley over the last few weeks.  Either Gill knows Wayne Bennetts England squad already and that Walmsley will be an international in a few months time, or more realistically it's someone else. 

My money would be on one of the Burgess twins.  Both been poor this year and lots of rumours in Australia that the bunnies want to ship one of them out to free up cap space,  rumoured to want Graham instead.
