CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP
WHITEHAVEN have signed former England Community Lions outside back Curtis Teare from cash-strapped neighbours Workington on a deal until the end of the season.
And the injury-hit club this week hope to resurrect the loans of Castleford trio Cain Robb, Jason Qareqare and Kieran Hudson.
All three were recalled as the Tigers faced going into their Super League clash against Wakefield with a highlydepleted squad.
Teare joined Workington from Wath Brow Hornets following their promotion from League One last year.
He played 15 times for them, scoring two tries, mainly on the wing, although he was at centre latterly.
Teare's departure followed Workington's request for players and staff members to take a pay cut (see Championship Focus on page 12).
And Whitehaven coach Jonty Gorley explained: "Curtis was one of the best amateurs in the area, and in fact the country, when he signed for Workington. At that time we were also interested in him.
"As an ex-player, coach and supporter, I feel for them because I have personally been in that position twice, as a player and a coach, both times at Town.
