Luke May's contract is not to be extended, good or bad idea?
Personally, bad idea, whenever i've seen him play he's played well.
It's clear he was going to go, the amount of time he has spent sitting on the sub's bench without getting across that white line onto the pitch was embarrasing.
He shows alot of promise, and showed a lot against Warrington on friday.

Source?????

Ain't seen enough of him to make a judgement!

Was mentioned in a different thread, apparently announced at the awards night.

Yep it's in the Awards night thread................Omari Caro signs for 2 years, May not being re-signed

A shame as I always thought the lad would make the grade....Few first team opportunites and a local lad too..

Likewise, as with countless others who frequently seemed to be in the 19 man squad but never got any Superleague game time, even when they were in the XVII. This includes a lot who were brought in from other clubs. Doesn't mean they'd have made it, but just seems odd to involve people to that extent without giving them a real chance.

A legacy of the McDermott era - stick with a losing team irrespective of how they perform

As with a number of other players, if your face don't fit, you don't get played.

May is 21, surely he should be given time to develop. The only other centre at the club is David Howell. He has shown enough quality that he is a potential SL player. Not sure what he did for Doncaster and London Skolars.

Hopefully if it is true it will be a Lamont Bryan situation, where we call upon him to play first-grade.

The truth is either we are getting a proper class centre, or there is no money available to keep the likes of May. I prefer the first option, but hope that May is retained.

What Lamont situation?

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 326500.stm Where he was not given a contract, went away and came back into the squad towards the end of 2009 and got himself a contract for 2010.

He had left because he wanted more money then what Quins were offering, iirc, thats what was said by himself to a fan, and then he came back after he accepted a lower wage later on.

The difference with May is that Lamont was able to continue playing with the reserves - May doesn't have that option.

I'd like to think he would get a game at Skolars, if he wasn't needed at the Stoop.

Is the problem not that he is too old to play Valvoline Cup except as one of the 3 overage [layers (over-21), and not being considered good enough to play for the first team regularly it's being seen as better for the club to pay an under-21/-18 with a view to bringing them on?

I've updated the [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=27&t=91771&p=7369888#p7369888Squad List[/url.

Changed the format a bit because the club is in such flux at the moment.

Also included rumours, as at least some always turn out to be accurate.

Stick any amendments in that thread, not this one.

Edit: Life is too short to mess around finding out where Jones, James, Esders, Kaye etc. have all disappeared to, but if you do know then stick a note in and I will update.

In the statement it mentioned that Bryan, Caro and Williams will be part of 8 players from London.
Which 2 of these 10 not be involved next season then???

Tony Clubb
Jamie O'Callaghan
Dave Williams
Lamont Bryan
Ben Bolger
Martyn Smith
Omari Caro
Max Edwards
Rob Thomas
Olsi Krasniqi

Much love

There is no restriction on how many youngsters you have outside the 25 and most of those whose contract status is unknown are eligible for the Valvoline under 20s.

I know, but which 2 of them will miss out on squad numbers???

Esders was definitely playing for York towards the end of 2010, Kaye was definitely playing for Featherstone, and James was with Barrow.

www.league.quins.co.uk/news/12320.php Hopefully these guys will be getting the experience in pre-season training with a view to taking their place in the first-team squad when they are ready.

Implies that we are looking to sign at least 5 new guys in addition to these 5.

In what way does it imply that mate????

Does anyone know if Dan Sarginson and Mikey Bishay are under contract ?

I'm sure i read a while back that Dan is already training with the first team.

If these are the only juniors likely to make next year's squad, we'll need about 5 more recruits to have a squad of 25. IMO anyway.
