And take it with a pinch/truckload of salt but this week's "Nosey Parker" claims Craig Huby is "close" to signing a new deal. He's one of the 12 OOC at the end of the season.

for once a hope nosey parker is right, huby should be signing a big new deal 4/5 years

and i hope mcbanana picks him for england honours.

Huby is turning in to the prop we all dreamed he would do when he was a kid. He's had some cracking games over his career at Cas but right now he seems to have turned into a real prop, not just a kid filling in but a real man. He throws his weight about and is dominating opposition. He's also not too bad in attack too, setting up tries etc. My player of the season so far (3 games i know lol) and one of the guys i enjoy watching most. He's leading our team.

He should have at least been in the Knights squad! last year he really stepped up a gear and became a fine prop, this year he's taken it up yet another notch and is now the outright leader of the Castleford forward pack.

if mcnamara follows in the footsteps of previous england coaches he'll select huby then play him at stand off
