A shame from whose perspective....his?

I'm sure he'd rather be back home in Aus, playing for an NRL side.

Indeed, I bet Lee is wondering where he needs to live and if there's going to be enough players to make a team!

On the plus side he knows he'll get a game.

Ah, but will he get paid?

I haven't read all 16 pages of this thread so I'm sorry if the answer is in there somewhere but is Thackray now the only one of the released players not to have got another club?

of the released players, yes.

The club are defo looking to offload Raynor, who is in big trouble

the sponsors evening last week he trained on the pitch but didn't come into the restraunt afterwards and then missing yesterday, the club want him gone before the start of the season

What a sad way to finish his career that would be. Sincerely hope that is not the case

If true he is a fool, given the way the club has stood by him.

It would leave us worryingly light in the three quarters.

It does but also sends the message out well and truly after the behaviour of some last season, they will stand for none of it from now on, plus i reckon Raynor will be on 80-100k international contract that could be earmarked for someone else to bring in

Is anyone available though?

Would take Sean Ainscough from Wigan would be half the price of raynor great tryscoring record bit raw but loads of potential

Now that's a good call.



It's a shame about Raynor, who for me has been one of the most potent wingers we have had in the modern era. His stats do not tell the real truth; he's had to chase lost causes, score some unbelievable tries out of nothing and he's certainly never had trys laid on a plate for him on a regular basis.

Been saying this since the "Keep Moa" campaign started. No one would listen.

I think your probably right about his contract but if he does go I don't think he will be replaced, not this season anyway.

your having a laugh right



Believe me this is way more serious than last time

Leaves us with Calderwood, Yeaman, Tom Briscoe, Hall and Jordan Turner. Plenty of experience in there despite the relative youth of the last three but a couple of injuries will leave us short. Anyone think of anyone else?

Reece Lynee could well feature at some stage this season too

Depends whether we want to break the salary cap or not.

Whiting, Tuffour, J. Briscoe and Lyne.

No need to worry, as cover we have some seriously tallented speedy kids coming through that will certainly not let us down if called upon!! and senior players who will slot right in

Great talent for the future but apart from Whiting very inexperienced. Lets hope we don't have to call on the kids too often this season.

yes, if we pay a transfer fee

justin murphy maybe, wouldn't mind giving vincent duport a go as well to be fair but not sure on his situation with villeneve?

other then that i think major transfer fees or possible swap deals but we have no one to really swap.

Duport has signed for Toulouse but he looked decent for Catalans, suprised they let him go and think Murphy would count on as Overseas Trained.

Has Jodie Broughton got a club yet ? Was linked with Salford, always thought he could make it.
