RL DOWN THE DWAIN

THANKS a lot Castleford. Thanks for making rugby league a laughing stock.
Inviting Dwain Chambers into the fold is the most shameful act of the season.
Our game doesn’t need a posturing ex-drug cheat and by the sounds of things nor does Cas coach Terry Matterson.
The whole sorry affair had the hand of a used carpet salesman on the board trying to make a name for himself.

Matterson was quick to distance himself from it after Cas were thumped by the Bulls on Sunday.
Chambers had already appeared in the News of the World – where else? - that morning in a Tigers top.
The Daily Mirror wasted no time pinning their colours to the mast on the Saturday morning with the headline ‘Drugby League’.
And while their coverage of the game is clueless, their attitude sums up what the outsider must think.
There’s been a suggestion this will help Cas in their submission for a super league franchise.
Surely they were already guaranteed one.
I’d go the other way and chuck them out of the reckoning. Tough on the fans, yes, and tough on Matterson.
But would they have tried this if there were still promotion and relegation?
I doubt it very much as the last thing you need when you’re propping up the table is some bloke who's 30 on Saturday who’s never played the game before and by all accounts failed at Gridiron because he couldn’t catch the ball.
Killing their franchise hopes would send out a clear message. Leave cheap publicity stunts to football.
And leave Chambers out in the cold where he belongs.
