People I wouldn’t mind leaving providing we get better:

Flanagan Sr (retirement/coaching)
Thompson (retirement)
Wallace (Hull KR)
Foster
Johnson
Clarke
Matongo (although I’d give him until the end of the season to prove himself)
Flanagan Jr (Hudds)
Walker (Hull KR)
Ho

See how Baitieri goes when he finally plays.

If we could keep Rodgers after his loan that would be a good pick up. If Flanagan Jr gets loaned back for a year then he provides good cover at FB and HB.

I think for next year looking at it. We need:

Fullback (even if we go Jowitt need cover)
Centre (need cover or a strike centre)
Winger (only have two)
LF (a proper loose forward, love a ball player)

I’d be tempted to try sign Tindall on a permanent or if M. Scurr is up to scratch he can be cover.

Fullback is a difficult one. Not many good ones out there at the moment. I’d prefer Holmes in the halves but I suppose he could go there if Lawford is getting the 7 shirt next year.

I think Patton gets a bit of stick because he is rumoured to be on top money. I think he has been better in recent weeks but I would imagine the club are probably seeing what else is available as well. He's a reliable kicker and has a decent pass in him when he has runners. Just seems to drift in and out of matches sometimes and obviously isn't the quickest on his feet.

I see Lawford scored 2 trys and won MOM yesterday for Hunslet.

We need to give Lawford a chance.

I hope it’s not too late to keep him. This season must be a disappointment for him so far.

I’d love us to sign Connor Wynne

Someone mentioned Tindall, he has signed for Hull FC next year otherwise he would have been a great shout. With Wallace and Thompson leaving, I would try get Donaldson in, that is just one to throw out there.

Gill, England, Lilley and Matongo I would keep if the contracts are right. I would keep Patten if him and Holmes are in the halves as they seemed to be playing well together but we definitely need a new Fullback next year.

Yes I also would have liked Lawford to have been given a chance. But he's only 19, the game time he's getting at Hunslet will only help him. Hopefully we see him getting a game in the first team this year.

Lawford has looked good in 90% of the games he’s played for Bulls. Deffo deserves it. I’ve heard he is reluctant to sign another deal but his dad is urging him to stay as it will be the best for his development.

I’d personally give him the 7 shirt alongside Patton at 6. Yes he will have the odd bad game. So did Milnes. But he’ll do better for playing.

Matongo for me, depends on his output for the rest of the year. Hopefully he learns a ton playing with Lawrence and Thompson, and tbf Baldwinson (with the way he’s applied himself).

Wynne is an unknown. One good reserve game doesn’t scream sign him. He needs to properly recover. And have a few games in a settled position before we make judgement. I’d argue Turgut is in the same position.

Im biased but it would be absolutely mad for Lawford to leave us. I highly rate him but at this moment in time, would any other champ club sign him to be their main 7 at 19 years old?

I'm frustrated (as I'm sure he is) at lack of game time this season. But he's 19 and there is a proper path way with us.

Thanks guys

Bodine off home after Keighley game.

I guess ots the news we all knew about so it is hardly surprising. I just hope we can find a decent replacement.

I would be looking at a James Donaldson if available. Regardless, it free's up cap space at a very important time for the club.

We have it’s Batieri
