Wilkes rumoured to retire
Goulding, Cowling, Kay and Wildie's futures uncertain.

I would like to see
SELL:

Washbrook
Mellars
Molloy

Keep:
Wildie
Kay
Goulding

Sign:
Sam Powell on loan
A new prop ( as long as we can afford it)

I'd be happy to go with this but we do need a few players extra for cover

Two Tautais for the price of one.
Now we are beginning to manage things professionally.

i think there will be more sales if were 400k in dept,
championship here we come

We are not 400k in debt read the message the club is 400K short of where it needs to be to operate.

Cowling to Fax ?

Doncaster would love to sign Kay ,but money would be a problem. Kyle Trout doesn't look a SL player to me, what is his best position.

Kay, Goulding and Wilde OOC

Sell Cockayne, Washbrook, Mellars, Molloy, Fox and Trout.

Keep the rest and get another experienced bargain basement scrum half. That should do us if we sign Goulding, Kaye and Wildie.

If only it was that easy. To sell them somebody has to want them and seeing as they have contracts with us, some of them quite lucrative, then they are unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon.

It is way too early to have this thread, there will be other departures yet and not ones we would welcome either. We will need to be very clever in how we replace them if we are to have a fighting chance next year. It's a great chance for Agar to show what he can do, if he is still here that is.

sell sykes and put lee smith at 6 and get a 7

Who would buy Sykes ?

Lee Smith should be in the centres or at another club, he can't play 6 or 7 he's not got what it takes.

IMO.

Put Smith at centre/wing or sell cos he aint a stand off

We'll need Sykes at 6 with his experience and we tend to play better with him there rather than sell him, can't see him on a big contract that would save much money.

Lee Smith should be in centres with Collis with Reece Lynne on the wing if we lose Cockayne.

Think we may next lose Poore and Tautai (to Salford or elsewhere if rejected bids have been made for Kirmond) if they are on big contracts and replace with cheaper alternatives.

Cheaper alternatives = Championship rugby. Get ready for it if players of that calibre go !

Several lower league players worth giving a go in superleague.my concern is a new bloke running club building a side around a 2nd rower, kimonds good but he's no sb williams thus its wont work.

I agree lee Smith is clearly at his best in the centre. As far as Sykes goes players of his calibre should be held onto at all costs for next season - he's got a wealth of experience and we're going to need all of that next season by the looks of it.

Interesting to hear that L.Smith and Ali have signed for next year. Would have thought that Ali would be on a substantial contract and the money would or could have been used elsewhere. Unless he has taken a big cut for the sake of the club?

Why not let Kay have a run at stand off.
Let Annakin go at Loose Forward.
Bring Walshaw into the centres.

3 talented young players who might just make a name for themselves if they were ever allowed to play in their actual positions. I'd certainly start them all at Cas at any rate.

or how about put sykes with kay move smith back to lyne to wing and either sell fox or cockayne

goulding at the mo isn't ready
