He has nowhere near the skill set to be a centre at this level. Winger yes, but that is all.
Totally agree.

We'll see a better Greg when he's playing outside Blair.

Minikins a decent player especially if he's stays a wingman id say he's more than decent if he plays there

If true a total admission of failure from Powell to tell a player not yet half way through his overlong contract that he’s no longer wanted. I wouldn’t blame him for seeing out the rest of his contract.

Some of our dealings put me in mind of Leeds United during the Ridsdale years, over generous contracts to ordinary players.

Unsurprisingly I disagree with your comments regarding Powell and it being an "admission of failure". If anything, it's a matter of circumstance - nothing to do with failure or bad recruitment on Powell's part.

When he signed it was unexpected that Trueman would go on to be such a significant first team player (I believe he only played what, 2 games, in 2017?). Ellis was intended to be 3rd choice half when he signed but Hardaker's transgression meant we ended up with him starting and Roberts at FB. Trueman was cover with Aston coming into replace McLelland.

Since then Trueman has been superb for the most part, Rankin has come in and been great cover, perhaps has a better skillset adapted to our game, and Aston has proven himself to be decent back-up too. Others have taken their chances while he's been sat out injured. That's an unfortunate circumstance for him but that's life.

He's now in a situation where his game time at Cas is going to be limited and he's got to play to get himself back in the window for a deal after his current contract expires. It's in everyone's best interest (him for first team rugby/contract down the line) and for us (salary cap space) for him to look elsewhere.

Don't talk so stupid Trueman as bin way out of is death this season. Tbh I don't see all the hype about him he as bin very very poor. All he seems to want to do is kick the ball is vision and is play making is not even championship rugby level, ashot as bin far better than him this season.

9 posts all flow level tripe.

Clearly the same person behind at least 3 accounts, it's about time mods did something other than saying ignore them, forum is going down the toilet because of troll accounts.

I do wonder whether this is a Wakey fan.

Only last night there was a thread involving posts slagging off Casforum users again on RLFANS because of a rumour posted on here. Do wonder whether someone is trying to play silly beggars to get a reaction.

There's a few up to it on here.

Trying to create unrest among the natives.

It's so transparent it's laughable.
