Think that’s it. Everyone else OOC

That's looking a pretty strong and stable squad for at least the next 2 seasons

OOC
Hampshire
England
Hirst
Kirmond
Pauli
Randal
MCB
Hooley
Anakin
Huby- Gone

Please excuse the spelling and I suppose there could be more.

Would you take Kyle Amor back if Saints were to get rid?

I guess there aren't many clubs with the stability in the squad like that.

Well done all concerned.

As for Amor, always liked him, but getting on a bit now I think, so not sure.

Having said that, with Huby going, and a bit of uncertainty regarding Pauli, we probably need to look at freshening up the front row, but is a thirty something the answer. Same can be said regarding some of the other names we've been linked to over recent weeks.

Well,
Hampshire, ------- refused contract offer, offer withdrawn.
Hirst has not progressed, probably has other outside interests.
England, mind willing, body not
Kirmond , mind willing body shot.
Hooley, seems to be problematic.
Annakin, unknown situation - ooc
Pauli, signed for Salford.???
Randal, ooc, talks & offer unknown.
Mason, ooc, talks & offer unknown.
Huby - gone.

Put your own replacements to those names & playing position requirements.
IMO, 2 big props & a back + 2nd rower, but Chester said he wants another quality player for next season, would that be a Hooker to speed up the ruck ?

We've got a good core of the squad. I'm guessing next year we'll probably go witht he same 3 halfbacks looking at players' contracts. Would be happy with Walker, 2 good props and MCB. If we don't re-sign Randell we will need another hooker. Possibly one more second row if Kirmond and Pauli are leaving. We haven't been linked with any props but have been linked with Pitts and Westerman so interesting on that front.

I love the continuity we have in our team
We are in such a great place

There are a few off contract players I’d love to see stay on that list

We defo n need a prop to replace hubby
And I’d like keegan to stay on too
I’d have no probs with Kirmo doing another season in the squad, he’s being such a great clubman

I’m sure there will be more to commit before the season is out

We done DC and team

Personally no

What does "probably has other interests" mean TrinTrin?

I suspect he means media, otherwise the mind boggles.

Two more props needed but wouldn’t take Amor now personally.

Convinced Rocky will end up staying

Good morning pop tart, no mixed meaning on my part, I just thought from reports outside of rugby he has media interests, I do not do or get personal ! - I have respect for all - always, but I do try to observe reports etc.

thanks for that really impressed with stability we now have , guess with the rumoured names walker westerman we are at about 27 out of a squad of 29/30

wish he was but if we are only going to make a couple more signings we have two full backs in walker and jowit , two scrum halves in brough and Reynolds ok we have only one recognised stand off in miller. But at minute priority has to be at least one prop and a hooker

Is it true Gwaze won't feature again this season as he had a clause in his contract that if were to play 3 games or more he'd receive a £5,000 bonus?

Why is that then?

Seriously, what do you think?

Well I know the £5,000 part is true, whether he will feature or not is a different story hence the question.

I'm guessing Kirmond will end up somewhere like Featherstone. He's good enough for a couple of years of Championship rugby and gives him space to sort out his post-rugby career.

I may turn out to be wrong, but I'm wondering whether Rocky will regret not signing. He's only really shown his potential at Wakey and in terms of negotiation strength, having no contract anywhere is not a strong position to be in (unless of course he's got an offer elsewhere). I like having local lads in because, if nothing else, you're guaranteed to get heart and effort.

How?

If you know that, do you think (I don't and quite rightly) you'll get an answer?

If he’s got a bonus payment written in to his contract on the back of 3 appearances which seems odd and unlikely then it’ll be in the cap and factored in to the clubs financial planning so I expect with 9 games to go we’ll see him again this year.

So signed up we have:

Jowitt 2021 - Full Back


Tom 2022 - Wing
BJB 2020 - Wing
Kershaw 2020 - Wing


Bill 2022 - Centre
Reece 2025 - Centre
Arundel 2021 - Centre
Croft 2022 - Centre
Greensmith 2021 - Centre??


Milky 2022 - Stand Off
Broughy 2020 - Scrum Half
Reynolds 2020 - Scrum Half


Dave 2022 - Prop
Kopczak 2020 - Prop
King 2020 - Prop
Gwaze 2020 - Prop
Aydin 2022 - Prop??


Woody 2021 - Hooker


Ashurst 2021 - 2nd Row
Tanginoa 2021 - 2nd Row

Arona 2022 - Back Row
Batchelor 2021 - Back Row

Crowther 2021 - Loose Forward
Bailey 2022 - Loose Forward



Looks to me like we'd need some cover for Full Back, Hooker, a couple of props and maybe a 2nd row in addition to those named
