We are in discussions with one player and one player only.

It's not Roy Asotasi, sorry to put this one to bed.

An overseas player? How old is he?

One overseas player? Or just one player?

Closer to home.

Strictly speaking, we shouldn't be in discussions with any other players yet should we?

Presume you meant to say one player in addition to the OOC players? Be a bit worrying if we have 10 OOC and are only talking to one player to stay/come in

Agree with this completley. He ran hard and straight and never quit last week. Looked a a real unit! Think he's from Crusaders originally. We need some real granite forwards in the mode of Karl 'Konkrete' Fairbank, and Bernard Dwyer.

Just one player?
Does this suggest that the majority of the OOC first team will be retained at least for 2014?

Probably not - but I'm sure we'll be speaking to players' agents, y'know about our players wanting to extend contracts and the like, but if other names get bandied about....

Would have thought, most of our squad will have had new contracts drawn up and signed just we cant announce them yet.

Yeah, pretty sure that's right. It was fairly obvious from what was said at the forum that when Blake Solly told Gerry and Omar that he was recommending to the board that we got the extra year, that they were taking that as the green light to carry on.

I'd also say that, as there has been nothing but good news since the takeover, this was taken as pretty much a given anyway - when you think of all the trouble various people went to to make sure the club carried on, the idea it would then be just blown away without a very, very good reason is risible.

Will be very interesting come the next round of the license period to see which clubs may lose the SL status, unless PR comes back.
