Not sure that he is much chop either.
Dread said:Mascord is probably the leading RL writer out there. He's been writing high quality articles for years for the SMH.
Go Nulla said:Newly-promoted Castleford Tigers continue to strengthen their squad for 2006 with the capture of former Huddersfield Giants skipper Ben Roarty and former Widnes and St Helens centre Gray Viane.
Huddersfield released Roarty after a neck injury prematurely ended his 2005 campaign but he has had a subsequent operation to repair the damage and this proved a complete success.
A former Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers player, Roarty had lengthy experience in the NRL before switching to the Giants in 2003.
The back row forwards leadership qualities won him the captaincy at Huddersfield and his signing is likely to complete the Tigers forwards compliment for the 2006 season.
The Australian will fill the second place on the Tigers overseas quota and has signed a one-year deal.
Looks like Dykes isn't going to Castleford .........
Frenzy. said:I think Viane is Kolpak. Roarty, Nutley and Dyer (Penrith) are their only NRL signings that are not Kolpak and there's a chance Nutley holds a British passport.
I think they still have a quota spot left.
