Out: Mitch Achurch (Released), Beau Falloon (Released), Zak Hardaker (Castleford Tigers - Season Loan), Luke Briscoe (Featherstone Rovers).

Out U19: Jack Wray (Hull FC), Jack Norfolk (Hunslet RLFC), Joe Sanderson (Hunslet RLFC), Nyle Flynn (Hunslet RLFC), Tommy Brierley (Released), Billy McDermott (Released), Nathan Barker (Released), Charlie Brown (Released), Ryan Jones (Released), Dyson Nicholson (Released), Luke Naughtonn (Released), Harvey Hallas (Released).

Won't Brierley, McDermott, Flynn and Barker be on their way as they have to be Under 19 at 31 August 2016 to play at that level next year?

YOU FORGOT RYAN BRIERLEY

What about Hardaker? Don't think he's signed for anyone else yet.

If we end up with a reserves side then they'll more than likely be kept on.

I'm still waiting to hear from GH/BMcD what the recruitment needs are for next year. I'm hoping securing Segayaro until 2018 and a go forward half back as we cant possible be thinking of taking the chance on McGuire's body holiding up.
This would stop rumours etc if the powers that be would advise what the clubs policy/thinking is ??

I assume some of the delay is whether we will have Hardakers wages to pay for 16/17

Think that is key plus not aware they have signed a deal with JJB to go round again ( I am assuming he will do another year). Only other curveball I can see at moment are the Ablett retiring rumours but that sounds a strange one given his age.

not sure if I've missed the announcement?
but hasn't cameron smith's new deal been announced yet?

How have you got 6 NFT if the quota is 5?

Players from Kolpak nations are exempt from quota restrictions when working in the EU. Ie Segeyaro (PNG)

Thought NFT was 7, but the overseas quota was 5? Hence you can have players with EU work rights who count as non-fed trained but not on the overseas quota?

Maximum is 7 for NFT and 5 for OQ.

Galloway - NFT (Exempt from OQ due to British Passport).

Delaney - NFT (Exempt from OQ due to British Citizenship)
Garbutt - OQ NFT

There are far too many average plodders in that squad. Hand on heart you could only say that if fit our 2-5 and 9 look well above average. The rest of the squad just doesn't have any X factor at all. That's not to say the likes of Ferres, Ward, Garbutt etc aren't solid players, but there just looks to be a lack of class outside the threequarters.

I think your view is getting clouded by this seasons issues. Garbutt has been on of the best props in the comp, ward has all the tools if he can stay fit and done underestimate the importance of ablett. I think s decent hb combo will also get the nest out of the more workman like players.
