Ben Roberts from storm to Castleford. Might be Melbourne making room to keep Ben Hampton.


Castleford Tigers
is delighted to announce the signing of Ben Roberts from NRL side Melbourne Storm on a two-year deal from the start of the 2015 season.

Roberts, who is a New Zealand-Samoan international, joined Melbourne in January after a two-year spell at Parramatta Eels, but will link up with the Castleford squad over the winter. The agreement includes an option for a third year.
The half back has made over 130 appearances in the NRL, but is looking forward to switching to the First Utility Super League after speaking to friends about the competition, club and country.
"I only signed at the Storm for one year, and we were not quite sure what I was going to do after this year, in terms of hanging around or possibly going overseas," said Roberts.
"I suggested to my manager that we should have a fish out and about, just to see what was out there.

"It just so happened that Castleford came in the picture, so I was trying to find out a bit of information about the club. I heard nothing but good things about the club, and they came from people who had played there in the past."

Just saying mate. Pretty sure if there is any such plans, the club is well aware of the fan backlash that will follow.

if we sign rob lui, i will be writing one hell an abusive letter to the club. they harp on about image and sack a guy for a stupid, stupid photo and they are contemplating this??

lets not sugar coat this......this guy assaulted his PREGNANT partner by throwing her into a wall. he could have killed the unborn child or done some serious damage and ruined that childs life before it even started. he also assaulted her the year before that. if this club is fair dinkum about image, we shouldnt even be talking about robert lui.

Completely 100% agree without question. If we hire this guy after sacking Todd for what he did, we'd look like the biggest hypocrites in the world and the media will eat us for breakfast.

Sharky 14 says we are not after him
I'm happy to go with an unknown/ Hampton or even stick with robbo but that'll mean we pay overs for hunt and make sure he is here in 2016
