Korki, Hendo, Griffin, and Smith have we had or likely to have any official confirmation on these guys for next season?

If Korkis off quota he would be worth retaining if the price was right. Same with Hendo. Heard Griffin might be off to Cas. As for Smith...well he might make a decent half back in the Championship.

Morrison should be top of the list to re-sign
Id try and keep hold of Korki for another year, just to give us the size in the pack that we need. (Plus he's Greek so he's not on the quota?)
Hendo, worth another year due to his pure work ethic.
Griffin and Smith wouldn't be missed IMO.

Is Stuart Howarth still in contract? - If not, SIGN HIM UP!

Korki is going/gone.

Korki - dependent on what's available, and what price. 1 year deal max for me.

Hendo - no, will run at brick Walls but won't even knock one brick out. We have great depth at SR in Johnson, Moriano, southern, lauititi, Massellot, Spiers. Potentially Kirmond. So thankyou hendo but no.

Griffin/ smith - no.

Morro - we have trout, Massellot and Washbrook so no. Think people are putting him on a pedestal here. Injured 3rd of year, started well, average for mid part. Money to be spent in a position we need more quality or presence in. Halfback, prop - of which morro is neither but would command one of biggest salaries and a quota spot. No. Rather see howarth sign, young Uk and about 3rd Morro salary.

Morrison I would have re-signed but I think he's gone.
Korki, maybe if better replacements can't be found
Howarth if Morro is gone then another year is fair enough
Hendo, effort maybe but the guy is absolute garbage. Time to go i'm afraid
Smith God no
Griffin, no thanks theres better threequarters on the occ list.

None of the above are players that we should be attempting to retain in my view; I reckon when this week's recruitment is boxed off, most will agree.

As for Morro - we have better options for next season.

Quite right!!

The players who aren't being retained should be told so and not be left to hang out to dry. The stories I'm hearing is that je is burying his head in the sand and ignoring players who we don't want to keep, totally the wrong way to go about things. A simple many thanks for your services over the past x number of years but unfortunately you are no longer in the head coaches plans would be suffice. If were treating players badly then word will get around and players will think twice about signing for us. Come on jimmy we know it's tough but it's part of the job and you've got to take the rough with the smooth.

Can't do much at the moment as he is on holiday. Perhaps he is waiting for RA to finalise his plans/external signings

He got back yesterday.

Got back this weekend. Been going on longer than a week too

had a pleasant chat with korki at the weekend and it looks like he's hanging the boots up,
we has offered a good deal at quins last season but chose not to take it and stay at Belle View on hindsight that wasn't the best to do as he did regret sorting the deal to go to Salford and didn't want to leave this time

goes to show that players are treated like plates of meat no room for emotions

Do you see the contradiction and hypocrisy in your post
He was not a plate of meat when he chose to go to Salford and look after No1
It is a business on both sides

no he wasn't and yes in that fact I would of done the same

my comment of plate of meat means that any player is soon replaced by the next up and coming player

Stories you're hearing from who?

I know for a fact that all players in this situation were sent yes/no letters acfew days after Bradford game. Just because it's not announced doesn't mean it's not happened.

So who made these calls Merlin, the new coach or JE?

Agree 100% with all the above.

Smurph and Morro top of list. Korki I would give another deal to; when the crowd is behind him and with better players I think he will do a job for us. Hendo = works hard but come on not worth a new deal. Smith- not shown anything apart from 1 decent game. Griffin- could be a good player but we have better options.

Oh come on, you have a cosy drink with him and you take his word verbatim. I can think of few players more adept at getting good deals for limited talent and questionable loyalty than Korkidas. This player has done exceptionally well out of Trinity and SL. If he's been treated like meat and he clearly has not it's Kobi beef. Please spare us the sob story, there are players in RL like there are people in all walks of life who get shafted, this individual IMO is more a shafter.

Me too...

Would put money on it not being missionary position given his inability to be on his elbows and knees.

He's more a cowgirl type of guy......

Sometimes I question why I bother reading stuff in here, this is a reason why I do. Brilliant.
