Building well , with another player Monday and meant to be a few signings on Wednesday at the meeting could have 10+ players by next Thursday. That's not bad going

Come on you bulls !

Rumours around Wigan that Donaldson is to sign for the Cherry and Whites.
Can anyone confirm or deny this please?

Which would you prefer?

I would prefer deny.
However I would totally understand Donno if he has the opportunity to go to any of the current top half of SL. I'd even understand if he went to one of any team which will be in SL next year. But the best bet for him would surely be Wigan. Wane has made Bateman a better player,. Wane gives younger players every opportunity .

thanks BM

Does anyone know the length of contract Sam bates and Adam Brock are on ?

Squad looking good so far. If you would have told be a few month a go, that some of them players had signed up for us at this stage, despite being relegated, I would have laughed you out the building.

Could you add the contract lengths on bates / Brock of anyone knows ? Also obrien is signed up now on two years , what a great start to a squad building

Quit badgering

. Just good to see it all built up and unfolding . Great job so far martinwildbull

Going by today's story in the T&A, Conroy is signed up for at least next year

thanks MdV, never enjoyed it so much as this season. I will check out Bates and Brooks contract lengths and update, and also see what the club say about Conroy, if hes one of the 6 younguns thats good news too, and the O'B article assumes that Conroy is around "next season".

Edited the original post for the official response re Bates and Brooks ie 2 years and re Conroy's future.

Thank you

Elliot Kear played for London Welsh last week, in a pre-season friendly.

It may be worth adding who is Non-Fed Trained/Overseas.

thanks Hindle, I did it a few days ago when Pulsator or bull mania listed the four non feds on the signings/re-signings thread, but I would rather be be told twice than not at all. So its Mullaney, Uaisele, Henry and Offerdahl leaving one place free. Tahraoui if the rumour is correct would not count as he moved from Algeria when young and was trained at Warrington. Purtell is the last overseas player in the current squad where no statement has been made about his future, but he was lukewarm about staying.

Remember there are two quotas that run alongside each other. Mullaney,offerdahl and Henry will all count as both non fed trained and overseas. Not sure about uiasele. Think he qualifies for a Tongan passport which would mean he would count on non fed quota but not on overseas. Tahraoui might count on overseas (depends whether he got a British passport ) but not on non fed quota. So he could effectively share a quota place with Etu.

I have struggled to find a source for the quotas applying to next year, all I have seen is 5 non fed trained, if you can post a link I will digest and edit accordingly.

Chev added - as back row though described as Utility Forward in press release.

I like how the squad is shaping up, get the rest of the youngsters signed up, ie Conroy, Roberts, Mellor.

Another prop, another half back and some outside backs and were looking good.

with you all the way on that one B4C, I know you love him but can you please change your photo icon graphic thingy of last years back rower now he plays for y no W? Polite suggestion: who is your choice for next year?

It's not just the back rower, no one in that pic has any connection still with the club.
