Just like I thought life was not worth living after Nathan took his hair with him, I feel the same about Langers. But there is hope with Jamie Foster & his locks.

Is the right answer.

| It's a shame to lose Langley because when he is fit he certainly bolstered our defence up a fair bit. Not devastating with the ball in hand but always willing to put his hand up and work for the team. But as others have said, he will be a top earner and we probably aren't getting great value for money at the moment. Little bit surprised that no deal at all offered though, even a vastly reduced one.
If he does move on, then he should get a good send off from the club and supporters.

| Pure coincidence that it is exLeeds players being offered extensions to their contracts?

| I would have thought Langley would be just the sort of player we need to keep.

Yes, I'd say so.

No, Walkers tackling has convinced him he's more valuable to the team than Langley.

Apparently Walker buys into and leads the culture of the club.
Having someone who has given everything for the bulls, stuck with us through thick and thin and has said he wants to be a one club man must not be the sort of player Cummins wants at this club.
It must feel like a right stab in the back for Langers.

I doubt Walkers contract is anything like Langleys so it is pointless comparing them. Does Langley offer value for money anymore, IMO no, as said he has been shifted from the back-row due to our young players, and is now a make-shift prop who is missing a lot of games again.
What would you rather spend the chunk of your playing budget on, a make-shift prop who will play 3/4's of the season if we're lucky, or in a position we are severely struggling in like centre?

But we haven't even offered Langley anything. Surely he deserves at least an offer, you can't get much more loyal than Langley
How can you know whether they offer value for money or not. We have no idea what they're on. I'd rather pay top dollar for a player that can tackle than pay peanuts and get a journeyman anyway.
Michael Worrincy would probably be cheap, why not ship Bateman off to Wire and get him back? There's probably plenty of nearly retired rhinos who'll be available though. FC will probably be giving Senior a ring about our centre problems you just mentioned.

| Really disappointed with this, really wanted Langley to see out his career with us. You don't get more loyal that Langley and he's a solid player, we ARE a better team with him on the field.

| We are better with Langley on the field but FC has difficult choices and has to spend the little he has carefully.
The danger is the 1 year offer to Donno may not be enough and we end up losing both of them. I hope FC knows what he's doing.

| Interestingly, Ryan Whitcut is quoted in the T&A as saying the full cap "of £1.95 million is available to the coach", which I confess is both a big surprise and very welcome news, given that the reduction in TV money has been confirmed for next season. Someone, somewhere is doing something right in the back office if they've brought in enough money to cover that loss, though I guess it could be Omar who has put the money in. I just hope it's not one of those 'mysterious' deposits which just turn up in accounts and have to be repaid....
In the case of Langers, I'd have thought that if we have the full cap to spend then he'd have been offered something - if only for his loyalty over the years. I guess that, the only way to judge the recruitment objectively though, is to wait and see all the other ins and outs and look at what kind of balance we have in the squad when it's all done and dusted. To be fair, it's pretty difficult to judge someone's decisions in an isolated instance when the success of the policy depends on the overall blend; ie the squad as a whole next year.
