Castleford Tigers head coach Ryan Carr has shut down talk that Hull KR forward Jack Brown will be making an immediate switch to Wheldon Road.<\/p>\n

With Hull KR having added overseas prop Tevita Pangai Jr<\/a> to their squad on a short-term deal until the end of the season, reports have emerged that fellow forward Jack Brown may be set to move to Castleford Tigers with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

Those reports were fuelled by prior reports that Brown, who is off-contract at Hull KR, will sign with the Tigers from 2027 and whilst Ryan Carr seemed to confirm that, he denied any knowledge of the Rovers man making an immediate move.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave we? Let me know when that\u2019s happening, it would be good to find out,\u201d Carr quipped when asked about the reports at his presser ahead of Saturday\u2019s clash with St Helens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On what his side may look like for that game, Carr said: \u201cThis week\u2019s squad will be very similar to last week\u2019s, there won\u2019t be a lot of changes other than the forced one from George getting suspended.\u201d<\/p>\n

When could Castleford Tigers sign Jack Brown?<\/p>\n

So whilst Brown won\u2019t be joining this week, Carr did confirm, or at least made reference to prior reports, that the club have signed the prop for 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been documented that we\u2019ve signed him for 2027,\u201d the Australian said before being asked further about the prospect of getting Brown in earlier than that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not my wheelhouse,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Chezzy\u2019s [director of rugby Chris Chester] space. I work on the playing group for right now. My complete focus is on trying to win the game this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201c[He would strengthen the pack] if it was to come to fruition, but it\u2019s not really my space. Saturday is all I am worried about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carr will name his squad for Saturday\u2019s Super League clash against St Helens on Thursday, the same day that Jack Brown is in with a chance of featuring for Hull KR against Wigan Warriors.<\/p>\n
