Default Dwain Chambers joins Castleford...

I heard on the radio that he may make his debut in the weekend game against St Helens....
.....and I'm the Queen of Sheba, he'd last 5 minutes.

Didn't he spend a couple of seasons playing American Football in the European league?

He did yes. For a season if I remember correctly. His speed as a wide receiver would be a plus, but you don't have to defend in that role as he would have to in RL. I'd be very surprised if he makes the grade to be honest. RL is a very tough sport.

I hope those huge St Helens players- Tongans or Fijians- flatten the cheat.

I don't think his experience of playing American football will help him.

They don't wear crash helmets in Rugby League !

i think that we are missing the point here-Chambers is a cheat due to drugs and instead has turned to Rugby League as a last resort-what kind of message does this send out to youngsters who will think that it is okay to use drugs because if you get banned from sport you can always take up another?

Rugby League should be ashamed if he plays and if he does, i hope he gets flattened

and enough carping on about needing the money to support his family-millions of us have to do exactly that on a lot less money than he is earning-Jobcentre Plus beckons, i hope
