I heard that Fielden may be Featherstones marquee signing. I'd hope that FC would be at least considering him as an option given our obvious shortage of props.

Barrie Mac comes out of retirement to hold his hand!

League Express again;
FC: "...I'll be able to go to people who have not quite had a career yet, or maybe are on their last chance, and I can offer them an opportunity to become part of this group."

Aitcheson has been released as far as I know. Personally I would look at:

Jack Murphy - WIGAN - Fullback/Winger
Matty Russell - WIGAN - Fullback/Winger
Ryan King - WIGAN - Winger
Dan Lloyd - WARRINGTON - Prop
Adam Swift - ST HELENS - Winger
Carl Forster - ST HELENS - Prop
Joe Greenwood - ST HELENS - Prop
Brad Singleton - LEEDS - Prop

Jamel Chisholm - Free Agent - Winger

The main ones are Chisholm, Singleton, Greenwood and the Wigan lads.

Jared Stewart at Leeds always looked real good I thought, he'd be a good shout.

Word on the Wigan board is that Russell is going to the NRL next season, so you can probably count him out.

With Joseph off the books we have a 6 figure sum salary available.

I think Singleton has signed for Fev. Dane Manning at Halifax is a very good player, but is a back rower. Maybe he would be worth considering if Langley was moved into the front row. I think Matty Russell is going to Melbourne although I may be wrong.

Now where exactly did you see that...?

£8,000.00?

Really can't say who's given me the info, just putting it out there

Jared was released from Leeds a couple of month ago he is back in Cumbria but would probably love the opportunity to prove his worth at this level

Jamel Chisolm is currently signed for Leeds Carnegie Yawnion but again would probably sign for you given the chance he has the speed to be a great winger but his defence and ball handling will need work to make a real name for himself

both these lads deserve a chance and I dont think you would do any wrong in signing them both as they have real potential Good Luck Next Year

Did Jared recover from his cruciate ligament and fracture? Looks a good prospect if he has recovered.

Do not know where this belongs but do you think the following conversation on twitter means could Brett Kearney be leaving

@SteveMenzies11 I leave on Sunday. I'll send you my oz number when I get 1. ( why would he need oz number)

Probably just going back for a few weeks holiday in the off season

sounds logical. As for the getting Oz number bit maybe he doesnt know his number cos hes staying with friends, or he could just be picking up a PAYG sim when he gets there to get cheaper calls which is what I tend to do when overseas for more than a week or so.

one from the forum. chev walkers signed a new deal.

I assume they're building the announcements up.

Seriously though, good on any of them that resign (not in the Kopczak way) after the year they've had.

Pleased with this one, he seems like the right kind of guy to have around the younger players whenever I have spoke to him. His experience will be needed in what is likely to be a youthful squad.

He'll spend half the season on the physio bench again. But there's nobody else, so he'll have to do.
Starting to get a bit concerned over the lack of news surrounding Donaldson. The last we heard, his op went really well, he was ahead in his recovery and could even make a rturn in August. Since then we've heard nothing, and his name isn't really being thrown around with those supposedly ironing out new deals.

Its a difficult one. FC needs to build a smaller squad for next year, and probably cannot risk a player with Donaldson's injury record.

Harsh, I know, but we need to be realistic

Disagree completely. Donno is a MUST

Rhys Williams hasn't been offered a new deal at Warrington. Always rated this guy, unfortunately he had Monoghan & Riley in front of him at Warrington, but when ever he did get a chance, he always scored.

Agree about Donaldson, defintely a must. I'd really like us to keep as many of this years squad as possible.

understand that will sharp is OCC (he is a bradford lad from thornton), and the st helens poser jamie forster is available. i bet hull would have kept him had they not signed crookes months ago.
