thast a defo..mckinnon will probably be lucky to get a second -string deal in the country league at his age, whilst coal mining llike ray cashmere was....

From bits I have seen he looks a really good attacking player, still quite raw though.

So Manu and Wade announced. Turner to Saints, Ellis to Cas, Moa to NRL, Martin retiring, Ogre to Salford wonder which gets announced next!!

its a big worry for next season, were going to have an awful lot of new players coming in and if were going by the names that are being linked with us it looks like the squad will be less experienced and not quite as good

You've obviously seen all his games then?

Thats how i see it at the moment players mentioned are not good enough to take us to a higher level and wont put bums on seats

We could do with someone like Gareth Ellis.

Ellis to cas? Is this true?

Do you even read posts you respond to? Where did I say we'd still pay him? Do you honestly think we'll be allowed his cap space back? Once a player plays in any salary cap enforced game his FULL salary will count against the cap.

A bit different now though, with him leaving the the wage he hasn't collected (from now til the end of the season) is free.

Jamie Ellis - so the rumour goes. Millward wants him and Gentle not keen.

I hope he doesn't go, i rate him highly and the more he plays the better he'll get. I'm a big fan of his kicking game, but wasn't that the main reason for signing Seymour...for his kicking game? He rarely kicks

A few top signings in key positions though and things will look a little promising .

I dont see it as worry, i see it as the team having a big shake up which its needed since we got to the grand final. The team Gentle creates for next season will hopefully be the team that can really start to compete and one we will be watching for the next three years plus and i find it very exciting

Yes I agree, but I was dismissing the ludicrous thought of us having his full wage back. We should be looking to speak to the RFL ASAP about this as it is extraordinary circumstances. Although they'll be well within their rights to say tough . Pearson's hardly flavour of the month with them.

My thoughts also "There's Mr Pearson on the phone for you Nigel ... Shall I tell him your out.."

Well if you listen to some on here half of this years wage will leave us with 100k.

realistically id say wade was close to earning 110k?????

Pearson promised bringing in marque players like Ellis, so not much to worry about really.

I wouldn't have a clue, i can't see some 18 year old from wigan wanting it all anyway.

The shame about this is he only realistically had to see out another 18 weeks or thereabouts.

Going to be gutted to lose Turner for next season and bringing in Arundel isn't too bad. But Jason Crookes! Please no!
If Briscoe is going although I can't see it for this season, we should put in a offer for Jodie Broughton. He's everything Gentle mentions, up there with the best of British youngsters.

Horne to fullback for next season and bring in a top quality six and prop. We've already got plenty of money for next season with even more likely to be availabe.

Lynch, Bowden, Pitts, O'Carroll as props for next season. Isn't great in terms of Eamon is too injury prone and pitts is lightweight. Bring in say Johnson and an over seas prop like already mentioned 'Big Red' would be a great signing.

Just seen that Anthony Mullally (Widnes prop who was with Brisbane last year) has rejected a contract there, looks a big lad with decent potential and his stats for this year, in a very poor side, look pretty good to be fair

I think that until all the recruitment is done there is no point getting worked up about it. We have just had somewhere in the region of £250k come available for next season with Manu and Wade going.

We just have to trust them to get it right.

I can



I can also ban people....
