Chambers circus continues

Dwain Chambers looks set to try his hand at yet another sport as basement Super League team, Castleford Tigers, show an interest in his abilities.

Following a drugs ban from athletics, Chambers looked to American Football as an alternative sport he could excel in.

In 2007 he signed for German NFL Europa side Hamburg Sea Devils, and although his pace was a clear asset his handling skills were not enough for him to crack into the NFL and when the the European league disbanded in June 2007, he was left in limbo.

His recent turbulent return to athletics proved successful as he won a silver medal at the World Indoors, but he never seemed convinced it was a long term move.

Eye of the Tiger

Why he should even get the chance of a trial at the club is beyond me.

Fair enough Castleford are struggling and the idea of having a world class sprinter in the team may seem like a good idea in the clubhouse after yet another thumping, but really?

There are so many young aspiring players in the country who would give anything for a trial at a Super League club.

This move by Chambers makes a total mockery of both the league and all the hard work put in by the players trying to make it in the sport.

I just hope the team don't go easy on him during his trial, I doubt they will.
