He wants to move to England. Just not until next season. Catalans wanted him for the rest of this season and beyond.

He doesn't want to leave Melbourne until next season. He stated as much himself

strong rumours suggesting finch will be at wigan next year. nothing confirmed but rumour is that riddell wants to leave, tommy will push up to hooker with Mcilorum and finch to partner tomkins. all pie in the sky at the min but ian lenaghan has gone to oz this week on a recruitment drive so time will tell

I only wish we had the same recruitment tactics

Finch has been linked with every SL club. Remember quota goes down next season too to 4 quota players 1 non-fed.

bailey is likely to go and rumours say phelps is too.also talks of riddell wanting to go home.thats three overseas spots, + feka also rumoured to be on his way out. the quota spots would not affect us as space is likely to be freed up

2011
At least 8 home grown players.

No more than 5 quota players.

No more than 5 overseas trained players inc quota players.

Rest of squad to be from players trained within same federation.

KEY
Home grown players - any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with the same clubs academy set up.

Same federation - any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with other clubs academy set ups within UK (for UK SL clubs) or France (for Catalans etc)

Overseas quota players - as per current rules i.e. Anyone unable to prove origins within EU or Kolpak countries.

Overseas trained - any other overseas player (EU passport or Kolpak etc.)


Next Season Player that are contract:-
- James Evans (Welsh. Not sure if he counts)
- Rangi Chase
- Dean Widders
- Ryan McGoldrick (does goldie count next season because he as being in england for more then 5 year)

Evans doesn't count.

Widders
Sargent
Chase
McGoldrick

is our quota this season. We still have one non-fed slot open.

Next season, AFAIK, McGoldrick can apply to come off quota like you said. Sherwin has gone so that removes one more and means we have one spot for this year too.

Sargent is leaving

Which is a shame really. He did really well for us last year but seems to have gone off the boil

We'll be waiting a long time I fear for that.

We'll take him

widders is leaving at end of season,he is returning to oz as well as retireing,he goes to my friends bbqs and has said...his knee can not hold out much longer and is calling it a day..100% cert

makes a change for one of our imports to do the decent thing then if true and not keep takeing money out of the club under false pretenses, but i will believe this when i see it.

He was our stand out player today. If only he would run straight I feel he would of got 2 tries today and that possibly would have won us the game
