Being realistic Sutcliffe has a good chance of keeping the 6 shirt in my opinion.....and he is certainly the future. McGuire is more likely to make way.

haha fair enough i forgot about that.

Hull KR:

25. Aaron Ollett
27. Sonny Esslemont
28. Matthew Beharrell

Matt Ryan - Parramatta to Wakefield - 2 year deal

honestly at this rate wakefield will have a better squad next year, they was supposed to be down grading.

Downgrading the wage bill yes, but hopefully getting more 'bang for our bucks' with new signings on more realistic (for Wakefield) wages

Absolutely.

No ridiculous 3 year deals for players who'll turn out for 4 games then be shipped off on loan to the championship for the remainder of their lucrative contract.

just need to sign a quality half and i would say mission accomplished.

Michael Oldfield - Sydney Roosters to Catalans

That name rings a bell.

Yep, check him out on You Tubular, he was decent but not a moonlight shadow of the player he once was.

Very good player, played some good stuff at Manly.

Wigan;

3. Darrell Goulding
15. [delLonely[/del Logan Tomkins
17. Dominic Crosby
39. Jack Murphy

Apparanty Aiton an Agar signing was on a small wage as was Amor. Tim Smith, Justin Poore and Vince Mellors were on megabucks I'm told.

I suspect the Amor transfer paid Mellors off and Tim Smith money helped fill the gap.

As you know Wakefield problem was paying off some creditors but more importantly filling the financial black hole that stood between us and the next SL payment. Basically we have adjusted the books and should be in a position to field a moderately decent squad within budget.

I know Mellors was on 100k+ but it beggars belief what we must have been paying the other two for their departure to allow us to recruit so well.

I've not included Cockayne because I don't know what his deal was.

Salford;

21. Jordan Walne
Jack Holmes; Salford - Halifax

(that's it for tidying up the Red Devils from squad numbers)

Are they going to fax on loan? I think they both have bright futures in the game so would be stupid to get rid permanently.

Confirmed.

Still don't get the levels of mental excitement from Salford fans. H is a workhorse, a tackling machine but that's all he does. He rarely breaks the line or shows hands. Yes, a good signing and I'd expect any fans to be pleased, but it's all very OTT. I realise he's left while in contract but that smells more of KashKow throwing money at him rather than any love of Salford - especially in what would have been his testimonial year.

Anyway, good luck to him, he's a top lad and has been a great servant to Wigan, he'll do well at Solly.

As for 'coming home', ain't he from Swinton?

I can't think of many better in Super League than Harrison Hansen in what he does. As you say, he's a workhorse who does all the hard graft every successful team needs. An example of this was seen in the Wigan v Leeds game last season at the DW, Joel Moon made a break at a point in the game which would have got Leeds back in with a shout and Hansen chased the man down and not only made a try saving tackle but also knocked the ball free from Moons hands.

The lad is class pure and simple.

It's also a big thing for us as he is a Salford lad, his Dad played for us and we've just signed a player under contract from the double winning Champions who is in his prime.

'Mental excitement'? You're damn right.

Exactly one year ago today the club were meeting fans to explain what a hole we were in, and we were left feeling that it was very unlikely we would be able to start the 2013 season. 12 months on we have signed our 14th new player. And it's Harrison Hansen, who was due a testimonial and was set to play in a World Club Challenge match in Australia for his one and only club, the recent double winners...

Plus he turned down a big long term offer from Wigan to go to Salford.
