who do we have unnder contract for next year can only think of david mills thus far.

Hopkins & Nicholson are under contract 2.

Good idea, let's discuss who's going, who we don't want to stay, what quality of player will we have to accept due to finances etc (that's what this thread will turn out to be).

Ideal time to bring us down to earth.





I know it wasn't intended that way but that's how it will go.

lock the thread for depressive purposes

Not interested yet, tbh.

I'll think about this stuff when our season is over and we have some idea what our financial constraints are, and what our coaching and backroom setup will be.

Until then I'm going to concentrate on our lads playing great rugby, our pursuit of Fev at the top and our assault on Grand Final glory!

(But feel free to discuss it)

didn't Milward say at a LISA meeting that it will be the same team, apart rom Ellis and Hill?

Do not recall but I hope it is.

wont be same team robbie paul is calling it a day at end of season not to mention donlan and littler who are nearing the end of their careers.

Hope Donlan & Littler do another year and that we can add two players to replace Ellis & Hill. Long and Morley would be good swaps!

littler has a few year left yet!

Im sure I read that this was Donlans last year not long ago unless I dreamt it

I think he was considering making this year his last but hopefully his fantastic form this season will make him change his mind. I can still picture him bursting out of the darkness at Barrow early in the season to send the Leythers crazy, he looked like he was still in his prime!!!

If Stu does retire I wouldn't mind us having a look at Ian Preece if we could get him from Batley. Always looks good when I've seen him and is quite versatile too.

Hopefully Stu will still be captaining us next year though

I'm surprised you can picture anything from that day!

I do hope he stays for at least another season along with Littler, fingers crossed

Agree with Nozzy and the lad who played full back for York when they played Batley was first class. Sorry didn't catch his name.

There is no way Littler is retiring at the end of the season he's still got so much more to give & he lives & breathes rugby

when I read the title of this thread my first thought was "no wonder we have financial issues"....

Pretty sure the following have the 2012 season in their contract

Mcgilvray
Littler
Bibey
Thornley
Taylor
Higson
Hopkins
Nicholson
Dollin

I could be wrong on one or two

RHP?

Get Briscoe resigned....... looks a good en from what I`ve seen of him, and resign Ridyard and trialist scott O`Brian also.

when i was working with stu, i asked him would he be staying for another year and he said he wants to, as did dave mills.

Hopkins out of contract Dec 2011? so I've been told.

Get him resigned now

I think Sam should be retained also. Has done nothing wrong as far as I can see.

Not seen much of the young lads in the first team. Nico, and Hopkins, I think, but not enough game time to see how good or bad they are, only time will tell
