Super League club Castleford is targetting Parramatta prop Kane Evans, according to RLNews.co.uk.

Off-contract at the end of this year, the report states that the Tigers are going to make the 28-year old a priority.

The Eels' off-season additions of Ryan Matterson and Regan Campbell-Gillard to join an already strong forward pack including  Junior Paulo, Nathan Brown and Shaun Lane could make Evans epxendable.

Evans told The Sydney Morning Herald earlier this month: “I want to play until I’m 32 and then retire. I don’t know how many more pre-seasons my body can go through.

“I want to be playing NRL this year. When I get my chance I’ll try to dominate, do what I do, try and win a comp and get a new contract. I want to start well and then see where I’ll be in 2021.”

  1. Classy Cas have upped their game in recent years. Once the easy beats in Superleague they are doing some good things there and Evans would fit right in.

  2. Good Evans to murgatroyd even…..I reckon Soufths will sign him next week. My source informs me a Nana Glen farm visit is on for sure this week. But if Parra want to win this comp, Evans is a must have.

  3. ClownOfPenriff this bloke is yet another player the Sydney Roosters developed into an internation Nrl player.

  4. Eels should sell sell sell and sign a more dominant prop they should’ve held onto Stefano he was a loss not saying he was better than Evans just younger and an unknown how good he can be

  5. Isdonisgood Stefano is overrated.
    We have Kaufusi who is heaps better than Stefano and I would rather keep Evans to.
    We could have offered Stefano more to stay but Tigers paid desperation money for him and we weren’t go to pay more.
    We have Hollis coming through who is better than Stefano as well.

  6. Yeah Kev the potential and desperation signings are walking hand in hand at the moment. Arrow (rabbits desperation) Tino (potential and desperation) hopefully pays off for Titans 2021. I respect Kaufusis professionalism in his off season work he knew where he needed to be and got to it and bloody looks good for his efforts. I’ve done nothing but slag off vegans until I saw his transformation.

  7. Easts develope no players, they come a bought product with no heritage to Easts, Adam is a person of no substance, a person who is mentally challenged and this site is the only avenue that allows people of his limited intellect to have a say, pity on him

  8. Peniso like ClownOfTerddy123 have a very short limited knowledge of Rugby League.

    In 2011 and 2012, Evans played for the Roosters’ NYC team. At the end of 2011, Evans was named at prop in the 2011 NYC team of the year. In 2012, Evans played for the New South Wales under-20 team and the Junior Kangaroos. In 2013, Evans moved on to the Roosters’ New South Wales Cup team, the Newtown Jets. At the end of 2013, Evans was named on the interchange bench in the 2013 New South Wales Cup team of the year and played for Fiji at the World Cup. Evans played 5 matches.

    In round 2 of the 2014 NRL season, Evans made his NRL debut for the Sydney Roosters, coming off the interchange bench against the Parramatta Eels in the Roosters 56-4 win at the SFS Evans has played 74 Nrl games for the Roosters and currently 24 for Parra.

    Looks to me Soufths certainly never coached him at any stage before he made his Nrl debut in 2014. Neither did any other NRL club. Looks to me he owes a thank you to the Sydney Roosters who with their expert coaching techniques for young players, have developed him into the player he is today. Although he has lost his way a little at Parra but made amends last season with a solid year.

  9. Penso as per usual is miles away from the facts and he just cant eccept the truth that Sydney development programe of young players is 2nd to none.

    Like I said before in 2018 and 2019 premiership teams 12 players from the 17 played lower grades at Sydney Roosters and moved onto make their NRL debut then eventually winning premierships with the Roosters.

    I know the truth hurts penso. But all these players played lower grades at Sydney and entered the NRL from the Roosters junior development programe where we currently have a stack of next generation coming through. Like Tupiunuia, Collins, Faamausili, Lam, Walker, Verrills, Butcher’s younger brother, Billy Smith etc.etc.etc……

    1. Manu, 2. Mitchell, 3. Tupou, 4. Liu, 5. Aubusson, 6. Cordner, 7, Friend, 8. Radley, 9. Napa, 10. Matterson, 11. Butcher, 12. Verrills, all played lower grades at the Roosters and made their NRL debut from The Roosters and all won Premierships.
    Throw in Taukeiaho 1 game with the Warriors and JWH 6 lousy games with Manly and these two super props certainly learned their trade at the Roosters also.

    Penso…..get your hand off it clown.
