Do I think Potter will get a new deal? Probably not. Do I want him to? I'm unsure.

He was at the Saints game on Sunday evening. I think we're trying to entice him over to join us.

I believe he is a St Helens lad is he not?

Elima and Manu are interesting ones, as is Burgess MkIV.

You could produce a team good enough for the top 8 in SL out of those names.

Elima wants to stay with Bradford, and probably will.

For those people clamouring over Burgess, they are falling into the trap of simply tagging him because of his name. Tom has potential, but a long way to go yet.

Oliver Holmes signed a 3 year deal recently I believe

Ah yeah, my bad!

Has openly said that he wants to finish his career with Wakey.

The League Express reckons Arundel is signing for Hull.

That seems to have been the rumour doing the rounds at Wheldon Rd Sunday - from Cas fans not Hull. Probably true as he's the only decent three-quarter we've got, might as well let him go and have a whole backline of numnuts...

Out of the Cas OOC players, only ones I'd deffo resign are : Arundel, Emmit, Ferres, Mitchell and Davies.

Arundel to Hull and Ferres to Huddersfield are the big rumours.

Given this morning's news, there's a chance that ALL Bradford players will be OOC before the end of the season.

You have to feel sorry for them right now.

In particular Elliot Kear and Jarrod Sammut, who must have thought they'd escaped being part of a badly run, failing organisation only to stumble headlong into this mess.

Very unfortunate for them two, and for the rest of the staff, and fans. Hope they can pull through.

Manu offered new contract with Hull, expected to extend shortly.
Arundel on a 4yr deal agreed from what i hear

Good signing if true. The few times i have seen him (Telly and against Wakey) i have been impressed. Looks a better player than Shenton at the same age.

I get them all signed back up, no doubt.
Mathers - Awesome so far this year, and if we can come to some agreement with Cas, then i'd be happy.
Johnson - One of the most consistant performers for Wakefield, and should be given at least 3 years.
Cockayne - No doubt about his performances this year, and we should give him at least 2 years.
Smith - Been instrumental this season for us, and the John Smith partnership can only get better, 2 more years.

Richie and Ben have said to me that basically they want to stay at Wakefield

I can believe it, but players always say that to fans -

"So what are your plans for the end of the season then?"

"Oh well, actually I was hoping Millward comes to his senses and recalls me to be honest"

Just not gonna happen.
