Can he have a word with MA?

No, but he was a brilliant showjumper....

Showing your age there.
This was probably 20+ years before some on here were born and 30+ years before our Harvey Smith was born.

Flicked a decent V did Harvey.

Time to crack on now. Hope the club get the released list out asap along with those signed on. Get the takeover announced boost interest and get a line in the sand from the last 12 month debacle

Interesting article re Jai Whitbread and a move to HKR, if true, we look set to 'reap the reward'. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/hu ... -whitbread

His brother is in the Leeds scholarship.

Up to date squad list for 2023 and leaving for 2023 announced:

2024 Confirmed

Jowitt
Lino
Gale
Griffin
Kay
Pitts
Ashurst

Leaving confirmed

Battye
Lineham

Thought I'd read it somewhere.

Keighley hooker signed

Understand Daggers going to York, his contract is null and void now you've been Relegated

He'd be one of the few i'd keep from this season.

That's not strictly true.

We can choose to terminate his contract because of the Super League clause, as can he, but it isn't void. They can agree terms.

York are clearly interested but part of that is for a promoted team. It remains to be seen whether they will be promoted and if not whether Dagger wants to play Championship with them instead of us. Or in fact the side actually promoted.

If he’s going to be offered a full time contract with the team who’ll be bookies favourites for the league, cup & grand final then I think he’ll stay at Wakefield

Depends if he’s in Powell’s plans. Like you say, why would you leave a team who’s potentially going to be top looking to bounce straight back.

Suppose it will also depend on the respective game time at each club.

Confirmed players…

Jowitt
Gale
Lino
Kay
Griffin
Pitts
Ashurst
Doyle (not by the club yet)

It seems as though Whitbread and Dagger there are discussions to be had as per contracts.

Personally I would like us to retain a handful of the right players. I would be happy with the below:

Kershaw
Croft
Tanginoa
Bowden

There are some potentially good targets left to look at OOC:

Alex Sutcliffe
Jumah Sambou
Ben Nakubawaii
Deon Cross

Would be all worth a look imo. Suppose it shows there’s plenty out there to consider.

Can’t believe Salford aren’t retaining Cross, he’s been really solid for them.

Well it’s being reported that SL funding is being reduced bu £200 thousand per club for the next season. Some clubs with limited funds by other means, will have to reduce their costs somehow. Teams such as Salford have to reduce their wages bill.

He’d be an excellent signing, especially in the championship.

There’s certainly some players out there at least. Just need the right ones to meet our expectations.

Be interesting to see what we pull out of the NRL.

Absolutely, I’d rather go for a couple of quality signings in key positions if we’re looking overseas. Probably a 6,9 or 13.

I'd agree with all 3, but would also see how Lino/Gale goes in the meantime, if they are still ineffective at a lower level, I'd maybe lookout for a decent no 7 too.

I can't imagine we'll get anyone from NRL. We'll be shopping in the lower leagues.
