I’m not sure who’s signed, who we’re trying to keep and who’s leaving so I’ll be happy for people to correct me


1. Jowitt
2. Kershaw?
3. Croft?
4. Pratt
5. Romane
6. Dagger
7. Lino
8. Bowden
9. Hood/Bowes
10. Salabio
11. Tanginoa
12. Griffin
13. Pitts

14. Kay
15. Windrow
16. Shaw
17. ?

Is Tangianoa signed up on a dual contract ?
Surely, he will be wanted by other SL clubs

Mo I'm pretty certain he isn't. We'll be talking to him now I'm sure but I can't see him staying.

Confirmed so far;

Surely Shudds will be considering Tanganoa as a replacement for the retiring McQueen.

Will hood still be with us.

Hopefully not. Bowes should start with that Keighley lad as back up.

Not sure Bowes is good enough either. What keighly lad? What’s his name?

Think Harvey Smith will move up above Bowes, especially as it's now Championship level. Expect Hood to remain and Kay to cover hooking too.

Dagger signed until the end of 2024 when Hall went to HKR

Pratt signed a 3 year deal in December 2022 it could be just SL but it could include relegation

Wasn’t that round 5 early season so I’m not sure at that point the club had considered dual deals. They were only discussed months after dagger signed.

If it doesn’t then would the homegrown fee apply? There’s a number of questions around this for Eseh and Pratt. To lose them on a free after developing would be poor.

As I understand it, as long as we offered them a contract more than they have now (even by a pound) then the fee still applies.

The RFL have now changed the rules, there is now a minimum salary and a top 25 earner clause in there. There are also rules around ‘material change’ to contracts and any change from a super league one to a championship deal would likely invoke this and nullify any compensation rights we currently have.

I Pratts case surely he's now moving from one championship team to another unless York pull off a surprise. Not much change really. If he want's to go home to York though fair enough lets get someone who wants to be here, Joe Law for example.
I do hope we hold onto to Oli though as I've been impressed with him for some time.

Pratt has the potential to be something special but he's still got a lot of development to go. Especially physically. If he feels York is a better fit for him to do that then so be it but I'd have thought Wakefield would have been a better chance for him

Saying that, although he's a different style and doesn’t quite have the same star quality, I think Law is ahead of him in some parts of his development and is worth keeping.

I guess once he has a release it's up to him where he goes after that, we'll have no say. Hope he stays but from what i hear York are gearing up to give a decent go next year so they can probably match what we'd pay him and being closer to home might swing it.

On Joe Law, has he been injuted? Can't say i've noticed his name in any of the more recent reserves or academy games? Wouldn't be against him getting a run out Friday if he is available.

Been keeping tabs on this through the season. I *think* we have the following under contract for 2024, but don't know about relegation clauses etc:

Jowitt
Lineham
Lyne (rumoured to Cas)
Langi
?
Gale
Lino
Eseh
Hood
?
Ashurst
Griffin
Pitts

Kay
Dagger
Pratt
Law
Roberts
Butterworth
Smith (rumoured to Hull)
Tanginoa (rumoured everywhere)
Kershaw (rumoured to Cas)

Off contract: Atoni, Bowden, Senior, Croft, Shaw, Franco, Salabio, Bowes, Windrow

All-but confirmed leaving: Murphy (Roosters), Crowther (Cas), Whitbread (Warrington), Battye (Sheffield), Kershaw (Cas), Fifita (retired), Proctor (retired)

Personally I'd want to get Bowden, Atoni, Franco, Shaw and Windrow signed up.

Surely Langi will be on his way ?

Also, Croft is looking like a decent player, it would be great to keep hold of him.

But that's the point. Most don't have a relegation clause so will not have a valid contract.

As I posted days ago which is at present fact.

We have 7 officially signed up. We can speculate on any others but won’t know till announced.

The only thing to do is await future announcements. Of which I hope Croft/Kershaw will be the first to secure our right edge for 2024.

They don't have Pratt on the list.
