The list above is 24 players

Assuming Pryce is still coming, then that makes 25 - leaving only about 3 or 4 yet to announce

Those 3-4 names are going to have to be stellar to make that squad look strong enough for a serious challenge for next season

List above is 25 including Keyes.

Heard from a few sources purtell off to Toronto and lovegrove retiring plus Clark going. So that drops to 22. Factor in strongly rumoured 2 from London and pryce and we've 3 spots left from 28 mentioned. Still looks light in forwards mainly.

As we saw on Sunday you can have all the speed you want in the backs but if the forwards are getting stuffed then it doesn't matter.

We need a couple of decent, preferably experienced props. I'd love to keep Clark but I suspect he'll be off. If clubs are in for the others then he's bound to have people interested.

Liam Kirk is a big strong lad but I don't think he's the new Stuart Fielden. Very few props are ready to do step up at 19, even if the championship is a lower level than SL. He'll get plenty of gametime but we need a pack leader and some experience.

Halafihi will be allowed to leave if another club want him I would think.

Pitts isn't on the list for next year but also hasn't been heavily rumoured to leave either. I would like to keep him.

Otherwise we need experienced props. Minimum 2, preferably 3.

I agree. We seem to be ok for hookers.

Don't forget Danny Addy is rumoured to be leaving....

suspect campbell might be encouraged to move on too. agree about trying to retain pitts.

Next year we should become Shudds dual registered club, that way Gaskell, Ferguson and Clough can be loaned to us while Shudds pay their wages, after all they`ve hardly lit the championship alight if and when they played, so why do Shudds think they are worth signing?

Mendeika

Gone to Oldham

Do you think we could get John Lee Hooker?

On loan.
