[url=http://www.therhinos.co.uk/m/news/26966.php(West Tigers, 3 Year Deal)[/url, Luke Briscoe, James Duckworth (Hunslet Hawks - Loan Return), Jordan Baldwinson (Featherstone Rovers - Loan Return), Elliott Minchella (London Broncos - Loan Return).
Out: Kevin Sinfield (Yorkshire Carnegie RU), Jamie Peacock, Kylie Leuluai (Retirement), Thomas Minns, Chris Clarkson (Hull Kingston Rovers), Andy Yates (Wakefield Wildcats), Paul Aiton (Catalan Dragons), Mason Tonks (Doncaster RL), Alex Foster (London Broncos), Robbie Ward (Released).

[uUnder 19s[/u
In: Reece Chapman-Smith, Spencer Darley, Dyson Nicholson, Tom Hall, Alex Sutcliffe, Mikolaj Oledzki, Nathan Waring, Jack Walker, Harvey Whiteley, Cameron Smith.
Out: George Milton (Doncaster RL).

Won't Robbie Ward be too old to play 19s next year? Thought it was 18 or under at 1 November 2014?

MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
For Clubs to be considered for entry in the following seasons U19s Super League Academy competition they must have 20 contracts for Players aged 19 or Under as of the 31st August prior to the season and who meet the Minimum Contract Value (MCV) registered with the RFL by the 31st October. As of 1st Dec 2012 the MCV is £3000pa whether from a Super League Club or not and these Players must be contracted until November of the following year to be considered

That list of Acadamy players is wrong Stableford and Grange have gone unsure about Milton as well!

Im going by what we know so far, once confirmed I will take them out from the squad.

So we have the following players OoC at the end of the 2015 season: McGuire, Bailey, Peacock, Leuluai, Kirke, Burrow and Singleton. I can only see the club keeping Burrow and maybe Singleton out of that list so that's 5 players to be replaced at least at the end of next season.

For 2016 we have Hardaker, Sinfield, Watkins, Achurch, Aiton, Clarkson, Foster all OoC, and I only see us keeping (or trying to) Hardaker, Watkins, and Foster meaning another 4 players to replace. Of course this assumes no one chooses to leave of their own accord which may well happen in the cases of Hardaker and Watkins both of whom will not be short of offers from SL or NRL.

Whatever way you look at it, we will be replacing 9 players over the next 2 years at least and in some very pivotal positions.

Having announced 2015 as the last year for the golden generation, it wouldn't come as a surprise to see Hetherington renew all their contracts and market 2016 in the same way.

Just like the 'Magnificent Seven' announcement some years ago.

Best. Squad. Ever.

Thomas Minns to Castleford Tigers permanent has been mentioned in league weekly.

Good move for him. He's no future with us.

with Kirke, Bailey, Kylie and JPs contracts all ending 2015, is anyone else scared that we will extends kirkes contract were not replacing 4/6 of our props in 1 year? =/ i feel depressed now.

It wouldn't surprise me, and yes it would depress me.I also wouldn't be surprised to see Kylie and JP carry on in 2017.

^^^^

Correction-2016

i forgot that Singleton`s contract is up then too. play for a team that played OAPs in front of you or a team that will play you week in week out.... pretty much exactly how we treated Amor.... so we could loose him too. oh this justs better the more i think about it =*(

Singleton is 21 and played in 22 Super League games this year.
i dont think thats a bad return for a young prop.

Very impressed with Ryan Brierley.

There are 4-5 players in our squad who need to prove they can step up next year, Singleton, ward, minchella, foster, and a few others. Also Yates who we never saw this year through injury.

So who is having their testimonial this year?

Carl Ablett? Although isn't JP getting a mini-one from the RFL as well?

I think JP is getting a mini one from Leeds rather than the RFL, I think he had an RFL one a few years ago.

Ablett must be due one, didn't he make his debut in 2004?

I make it as:
Ablett - debut 2004
Peacock - 2006
Kirke - 2006
Leuluai - 2007
Hall - 2007
Watkins - 2008
BJB - 2008
Delaney - 2010
Clarkson - 2010
Hardaker - 2011

Ashton Goulding, Ash Handley, Robbie Ward and Elliott Minchella have been chosen to represent England Academy in the Tests vs Australia in December.

Pleased for them as they probably deserve their place this year.
Thought maybe Mulhern would have got in although I see he has been picked to represent Ireland in the International series.

Rob Mulhern is too old for the academy(under 18s)

Cheers mate.
