Macani, JWH and Wicks confirmed.

Good news. Good to as well they got 2 year contracts.

Good news. So who else do people think will/would like to stay?? For me Dollapi and Krasniqi next along with Solomona (I think he will go). Looking good.

I'd love to see the Albanian lads stay but I think as they can both do a job in SL any one of a number of SL clubs could come in for them. Fingers crossed they'll stay but I'd be surprised if we've still got them next year.

Wicks has been playing at hooker I think in the 19's. Tough player from what I recall, not sure if he has the creativity for it though. We'll see!

Good news for you guys! Always been impressed with Woodburn-hall.

Coming on nicely. Should be a competitive side in the Championship. Am I right in thinking that it is top 4 who Qualify??

I thought there was only one Foreign Player allowed per team in the Championship.?

It seems to be changing to five next season. Frankly the whole promotion thing is a bit half hearted given the salary cap difference. If you restrict the second tier to one import and then expect the top four to play SL clubs, well I suspect it would be a fiasco.

I hope JWH doesn't end up at centre, he's a half back. About a year ago I saw an Aussie junior coach on another website talking about English juniors being signed by NRL clubs and he reckoned JWH was the one he'd go for.

Same cap and same overseas allowance for all 24 teams would be the only fair way to approach it

Yep. The top 4 Championship clubs will play the bottom 4 SL clubs in a mini league of 7 games. The top 3 of this mini-league automatically stay/are promoted to SL. Then 4th will play 5th for the final SL spot.

Just despair as this is what we have come to!

But he's an international player paddock!!!!!

Yep, here we are after 20 years back in the same spot before we got gangbanged by BB,RFL,SKY and SLE!

What a waste of money, we coulda built our own stadium with all that dosh!

Still, thanks TC for a great SL campaign or two (and the Canberra game), thanks DS for the Wembley appearance, thanks TR & RB for giving my Mum a lift up Wembley Way. Thanks SE for signing my boy's programme on his 1st B'day (Wow, he was 16 this April, how time flies).

Its been a slow downhill slide since those heady days ofcourse, but we still have a club , just.

On the bright side, we now have a squad mainly made up of London-produced youngsters with several other London-produced players running around Super League. That seemed unimaginable just a decade ago.

As I've said a few times, I'm looking forward to 2015.

I agree its a bit like saying we're not stopping you trying to get in super league but we have fixed it so you have no realistic chance

I watched the under 19 team play Wigan on Wigan TV and i was impressed by Dan Igbindion.
He is a bit of a tearaway back rower, only 19 and very raw but he could develop into a good player.

you have a lot of youngsters that need to develop outside of super league and I'm really looking forward to see how you go next season, Grima strikes me as a coach who has a lot of pride and will give you 100 percent.

This season was always going to be rock bottom.

No **** Sherlock!

Cannot believe that the club's would agree to the 2 tier system if they had not sorted the overseas player stuff
Then again#
Like it or not rugby league has always chopped and changed with the structure, I remember when we split from a single league into 2 leagues with prom and reg, I remember the year York topped the second division and got promoted along with a scrappy little team called Wigan who were runners up
As for salary cap, no accusations but wage bill at Salford would be interesting to see, so it's workable

It's good to see that we have a squad building for next couple of yrs though

This is what the Bulls CEO Ferres said yesterday;

"Nevertheless, the salary cap in the Championship next year is £1million and the Bulls will receive £780,000 in central distribution"

He did not mention oversea quota?

The OS quota must be known as we are signing up OS players (saw a rumour that we are after 1 more who is a big name)!!! (I don't know if this means a big name player or someone with a long name!!)

Hello Honkytonk , "How are You "?
