Swinton have signed on loan:-

Dane Windrow and Robbie Butterworth from Wakefield. Nathan Conroy from Hunslet and Cain Rob from cas. Anyone any info or opinions on them?

Absolute none story.  I'd rather my kid played at Leeds academy rather than Cas's based on funding, facilities, ect!  Yeah me too and I'm a Cas fan.

Windrow and Butterworth have both been hovering around the Wakey first team this year. Both played a game or two but difficult to get a decent go with the problems Wakey have had this year.  

Butterworth is a confident, assured full back whenever I’ve seen him in the academy/reserves. Windrow, a big, hard working back rower. 

I think Robb is in a similar position over at Cas - played a handful of games in their first team over the last couple of years at dummy half and seen as a good prospect.

Cust to Leeds is the latest rumour.

I didn’t realise he was only 24

Robb should rip it up.  Most Cas fans would like to see him in the squad each week as an interchange hooker.

Quick, elusive, smart player.  Bit of aggression in his game too.  Dangerous running from acting half. 

His size seems to be the only thing stopping him at Cas.  Hes normally a decent defender but got run over a bit by the big middles in a match earlier in the season and Last hasn't really played him since.

Partington to Leeds? Bit of a wild rumour, if there's anymore outgoings at Salford then if I'm one of those shareholders who recently bought into the club I'd be looking for a receipt.

Id be happy with him as a replacement for Bentley if he goes to the NRL as rumoured.

Fax due to announce a signing today. Rumour is a SL forward which might tie in to Cas trying to free up some money to bring more players in.

 

Edit: Alex Sutcliffe from Cas just announced.

That would be a dreadful signing by Leeds.

Was chatting to one of my clients earlier who's a Salford fan. He said that Wigan made an enquiry for Croft and were then willing to let Cust leave but Salford said no, which is why the Cust move to Leeds never happened.

Not sure I want to see that, he's so bad I'd prefer him to be able to play for both clubs at the same time.

He's just a substandard version of the baddie in the Scorpion King.

Thomas Doyle had agreed to leave Keighley to move to SL and agreed to leave his job which meant taking a pay cut but the deal fell through as Keighley wouldn't release him. What a shambles of a sport that someone has to take a pay cut to be able to play full time rugby.

Must need him for their big push...

Keighley Cougars are embarking on an exciting journey over the next 3 years, aiming to contest for a spot in the Super League. With clear directions from IMG and The RFL, our club will focus towards obtaining grade A status in the coming years, focusing on comprehensive development in all areas.

Ideally need to stay in the Championship this year.

Not sure about the Womans team, they have tried numerous times and can't get the players and with teams around them struggling to raise teams like Wakey & Bradford this week, Fax every week, and even some of the top teams, you have to wonder where they think the players will come from.
Can't wait to see the new big screen though.

We need him to try and stay up this season. I've no doubt Doyle will be SL bound next season anyway.

Been dreadful this season, also a proportion of that could be down to the phenomenon known as the Last effect.

The numbers kicking around last year were Leigh offered him £55k to go full time. Keighley offered him £30k p/t and he earns about £30k from his job. 
He does need to back himself as I think he could improve a lot in a full time environment. Hindsight is a great thing but I bet he wishes he’d gone to Leigh.

Fax had him for one game earlier in't season, at Toulouse,  and the lad was very impressive.

Probably more. Some of the numbers I've heard for players we signed before this season are eye watering for the rugby that's been offered up.

Keighley went big on spend at the beginning of the season. Possibly only behind Fev and Toulouse.

If the owners are to be believed, only Fev were spending more than us. I think he quoted our wage bill at 700k

From the results that is way over estimation on the wages paid, but wouldn't they have reduced that remarkably by Gale, Crooks and Chisholm leaving?
