Oh, I agree Dan. Some players price themselves too highly.

And if they don't, their agents will :lol:

I like Lawler but I don’t think he is the solution to our problems. Better saving the money for a player who is the right fit.

Confirmed now about Wigans Interest. It wasn't late interest though, we had been speaking too him for months

Not sure we were interested with all the back rows we have. I'm guessing Wigan's only interest was in pushing his market value up to limit Castleford's potential recruitment

It may not be down to money but him wanting to live near his own home town/city.
The last guy we got from Humberside was homesick after not very long.

Nah!!! He wanted a pay rise which Wigan wouldn't give him. Still I get where you are coming from as that stopped our recruitment of Danny Brough a few years ago

Cas paying him £15k more per year and a longer contract

All that proves is Castleford's desperation to sign him. Good luck to him - he's solid if unspectacular back row. We need to be more particular on which positions and also on who exactly we spend our salary cap on. Hence why I am not bothered one bit that he went to Castleford.

been told a lot today, the final message "Prop musical chairs is about to begin" So Id assume we are chasing a prop who will be replaced prior to being allowed to leave their current club. With Wire signing Bullock I wonder if we are going back for Mulhern
