Interesting report about players being released by Warrington at the end of the season.

At least 3 of those would be of interest with another twist on the Grix signing.

If Grix can get back to full fitness he's a no brainer. Joel on the wing would be good. Is GoB a good replacement for tim?

Can't understand what GoB has done wrong, apart from being squeezed out to accommodate Sandow.
Would definitely take GoB.

Yes he is developing into a very decent player. If my memory is correct he had a loan spell with the Bulls a couple of years back,
I wouldn't mind betting they are interested in signing him.

He has been on loan at saints and cas in the past, so played at a reasonable standard.

I think you might be thinking of Ben Evans regarding the loan a couple of seasons ago. Ben is a cracking young prop and I would be very surprised if Wire are letting him go. If it's true then I would certainly hope Bradford enquire about signing him.

As for Gareth O' Brien, we were all set to sign him on loan for this current season. It even got to the stage where Gareth had signed a contract and all we needed to do was confirm his registration with the rfl. But then Warrington and Gareth had a change of heart and asked if he could remain at Warrington instead.
We agreed to tear up the contract and that was that. Instead we ended up with Harry Siejka as something of a last minute replacement.

No he did play for bulls but was knocked out first half of his first game and went straight back to wire. It was a sky game.

He was playing for Cas against us at Odsal, 2013.

Ahh. My mistake.

I'd rather work on trying to keep the good ones we have.

Miller would be number one for me, and I think I might even make him captain
Godinet would be next though obviously strong rumours about St Helens are bound to turn his head.
Tim Smith I'd keep but if he wanted to go I think there are good players around who would compliment Miller well. Smith has to want to stay to make it worth while but he's clearly good when he is good.
Lee Smith is another I'd like to keep.

The pack is very important after that. Some are already signed up but Ashurst and Molloy would be good to keep along with Kirmond to make a decent back row.

I actually think kirmond has been below average the past 18 months. Obviously injuries play their part but I just hope he gets plenty of rest to come back and do himself justice. Another poor season and I'd let him go.

Well all I can say is thank god your not in charge of retention and recruitment. Miller as captain? I hope that was written with tongue in cheek.

Are you sure about Miller staying, it was suggested he was only here for one season and he is returning to OZ with a contract already sorted.

He himself suggested on Twitter last week that he would be here next year.

Not sure about him being captain, but I personally hope he stays on for next year.

Well there are probably others but we don't really have a true leader in the team anyway.
When he was Captain against Hull he was comping at everyone and really seemed to get the team excited.

Ultimately I assume it will go back to Kirmond anyway, but I'd give him a senior role.

I don't like a hb as captain - they've got enough to think about; especially one like Miller, who's all over the place in both attack and defence. Let him do what he's doing and don't upset the applecart by burdening him with the captaincy.

Plenty of senior players who can give leadership - Scruton and Anderson for starters, with some younger lads who look like they have the right attitude to develop leadership skills under their mentorship.

Just as matter of interest who do we know for certain is already signed up for next year ? So far I think we may have ::

Lyne
Johnson
Owen
Jowitt
Arundel

Scruton
Yates
Howarth
Kirmond
Crowther

Feel free to add or amend but that's all I can think of

Think Ali is signed up for another season isn't he?

Think he has an option.

Ali won't be here next season. IMO.

I'm sure Sio signed an 18 month contract. I guess what we don't know is whether they're SL contracts or not.

wakefield linked to jordan rankin, according to local radio in hull

Hall is
Arundel isn't

Id be really happy with Rankin. Hull fans would probably tell us in more detail, but whenever i have seen them he has looked one of there more dangerous players.
