It looks like Bill Tupou will not be going to Castleford.
@LeagueWeekly can I just say that I have not had one conversation at all with anyone at Cas regarding Bill Tupou.I have a great relationship with Mark Grattan & Jon Wells and this has NEVER been discussed. Bill is contracted to us for 2 more years,is very happy & is NOT for sale.
