I have just read the article from the T & A online. The paragraph which mentions those players names is missing from the article in the paper version. I thought that both versions would be the same.

Decimated means we'll lose one out of every ten - suspect we'll lose more than that just by natural wastage...

I expect it will be secundimation, though I hope it will only be sextimation

Chev
Nas
Donaldson
Sammut
Addy
McAvoy
Pryce
Joseph

Those are the remaining ooc players who's future has yet to be announced. So the article might go on about 17 players being out of contract, but we already know where 9 of the 17 will be going.

who are the 9 who have announced where their going?. Can only think of seven announcements

jeffries,hargreaves,sibbit retirement
elima catalans
burgess souths
crookes assumed hull but dont think its officially announced yet.
briggs featherstone
who are other 2 and where are they going?.

Ainy is one of the other 2. Is Southernwood under contract?

Southerwood contract tro 2013

Sykes contract at Bulls to 2013 on loan to Wakefield 2012.
Needs to be recalled IMO unless his wages are too high or Wakefield will pay a transfer fee.

According to this thread viewtopic.php?f=19&t=509092&tsmp=1347736236 the 17th person out of contract is some guy called Jonny Payne No, I'd not heard of him either

dont think ainscough has announced hes going anywhere yet.

I asked him on twitter today and he was pretty honest, just said he had not yet received an offer from the bulls, and he's not accepted an offer from elsewhere yet. He's one of the players i would definitely like to keep - try scoring machine!
