With the squad looking almost complete for next year, thought it would be an idea to start this thread.

Added links to all of the player signing/contracts.

Need confirmation of contract lengths, especially Cowling.

Feel free to let me know any other changes.

Pretty sure Lauititti is samoan and therefore doesnt count as quota.... but is non-federation trained.

He is still overseas if from Samoa but he was here before the rule came in so not on Quota.

Chris Annakin to 2013 www.loverugbyleague.com/news_594 ... dcats.html

Chris Annakin to 2013 www.loverugbyleague.com/news_594 ... dcats.html

Hopefully he will get a chance to impress this season and earn a new contract.
It would be great to see him and young Slater emerging over this next season following Walshaw, Trout and Cowling last season.

It's an old story Shifty; it's dated 14 Jul 2011.

When I read it I thought wow he's still only 20.

www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... e/2012/10/ Poore Signing Confirmed

Added the Paul McShane rumour. I agree that its unlikely but I've added it nevertheless.

Looking like a good squad in my opinion. Confirming Mathers would be useful, then maybe another utility back? Mellars can play second row so with Collis and Smith in the centre, maybe we could sign Murphy? But warn him that he isn't guaranteed a place?

None of them should be guaranteed a place.

I don't think anyone is guaranteed a spot - they have to prove it game by game. Give Agar some credit. Hard job being a coach (hence no hair

)

The post above said we should tell Murphy he isn't guaranteed a place. My comment was in response to that. Nothing to do with Agar thanks.

sorry should of read previous posts. humble apology

no problem. We obviously agree.

Added Cowling extension.

This is great work keep it up.
The squad is starting to look really good, balanced, depth and a smattering of brill players.

Southern confirmed as leaving buy mutual consent in the Express today. No plans to release any more quota players.

Shame it didnt work out for him. Good luck in whatever you do next Steve.

Transfer rumours
Ian Kirke - could be a good signing
Goulding junior - one for the future
Mose Masoe - would be great but will go to one of the other nrl clubs after him.
Trevor Thurling - Reported offered 2 year deal but family reluctant to move from OZ so thanks but no thanks as could be another that dont give value for money.
Paul McShane - let one hooker go to sign another that would get little game time would be madness.
Aaron Murphy - think he will stop at the giants not a bad player but no world beater.

Think with Agars comment today in the media that won't be freeing anymore quota spots up that he'll be giving John another season to prove himself.

Will he go for another English forward possibly Kirke/Richard Moore? Moore was signed by Rhinos for 3 years and has played 16 games for them although the last one was on 18th August so doesn't seem to be getting a look in.

Instead of prop what about cover at loose forward for Washbrook for injury/off form/competition for that position? There has been mention of Daniel Addy from Bradford. He's got the ability apparently and he's not small for loose forward at 5ft 11 tall and 15 1/2 stone.

Daniel Addy's signed a new 1 year deal with Bradford... I'd like to see Kirke in our squad.

I'd take Kirke personally.
