You are a rarity, an opposition fan that hasn’t come on here to troll.
I have mixed feelings about DR he certainly isn’t going to get a start anytime soon at Saints but Powell hasn’t got it wrong with many players. Hope DR doesn’t come back to bite us in the bum.
I think they quite publicly want Connor. However given the money they are waving at him they would need to play him in the spine of the team (1 or 6) to justify it. Given that he can get frustrated easily, he may not be the ideal player to build a team around.
I would love us to sign Connor and you can tell he is very friendly with Makinson so who knows, you suspect that Connor will get frustrated at Hull FC eventually.
Back on topic; I think everyone actually gets what they want from the deal.
Leeds get an experienced, organising player that can lead them around. They have good young players and a few reasonable solo players but no one that glues the team together. Leeds from 20 years ago would have signed Trueman and build a team around him instead. Gale does feel like a short to medium term option.
Castleford get some money and a younger player that will work very well along side Trueman. I suspect that Richardson has lost a lot of confidence over the last few years which he will get back by getting picked every week at Cas. Given that they have lost there key playmaker in the last two seasons, having a reliable spine to the team will help them get back to the level they were once at.
Saints also gets some cash, which given that we have a settled spine, probably will see Richardson as a backup player again in 2020. With the likes of Welsby and Dodd coming through as well, getting cash for a player that would probably get released in a year anyway is good.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
I have always liked watching Cas and I was a great fan of Kevin Ward and in his short stint at Saints until the tragic injury he was worth the entrance money alone to watch him. A real hard man,I also liked Dean Sampson a good prop but not quite as consistent as Wardy, and Graham Steadman another great player who took us apart a few times.
On the Back foot looking for the front one.

This life is more than just a read through.

We don't take Warrington rejects because the standard is so low, when Warrington take our rejects they are the best thing since sliced bread. Scully worked that out 20 years ago and was just not interested in Warrington's ideology of its "going to be our year"................."going to be our year"................"going to be our year".
Is there any chance that we can have a thread that doesn’t end up like this? The poster spends his weekends trying to wind up people who he doesn’t know, who support a team he doesn’t support, for no other reason than his own amusement. Imagine what his life must be like, I’m guessing he needs some fairly urgent counselling or something but either way, he obviously isn’t healthy. If you all just ignore him he’ll go away eventually.
