HKR have signed North Queensland Cowboys centre on a 3 year deal. Good signing at 29 years old with a wealth of NRL experience.

yeah nrl grand final winner couple of years ago was it ...good signing

185 NRL apps to his name, 1 NRL and WCC win. Also a 'Scottish' international. Not bad at all for KR.

Again we keep coming back to other teams recruiting decent players while we sit on the side line

Who's to say we aren't active in the pursuit of players but for one reason or another they aren't coming to fruition?

Yes, on the recent records of both Club's, I can understand why someone would choose KR over us!

If they've offered 50k more because they've more cap space then yes it would be preferable to pick kr over us(hypothetical figures)

He snubbed Leeds and London to sign for KR. Say's the security of a 3 year deal made it easy.

Looks like Cas weren't interested.

Or we are getting priced out the market by clubs throwing cash at all and sundry and so never made a formal offer.

Rather wait than overspend on someone for the sake of it.

Or Cas had a certain value for the player and he wanted a lot more???

Hull KR are also in talks with an halfback, rumours are it's either Keiran Foran or Josh Drinkwater.

Yes and kr have been close to going bust in the last few years. Salford will be the same unless koucash keeps them afloat.
