It may be worth adding who is Non-Fed Trained/Overseas.

thanks Hindle, I did it a few days ago when Pulsator or bull mania listed the four non feds on the signings/re-signings thread, but I would rather be be told twice than not at all. So its Mullaney, Uaisele, Henry and Offerdahl leaving one place free. Tahraoui if the rumour is correct would not count as he moved from Algeria when young and was trained at Warrington. Purtell is the last overseas player in the current squad where no statement has been made about his future, but he was lukewarm about staying.

Remember there are two quotas that run alongside each other. Mullaney,offerdahl and Henry will all count as both non fed trained and overseas. Not sure about uiasele. Think he qualifies for a Tongan passport which would mean he would count on non fed quota but not on overseas. Tahraoui might count on overseas (depends whether he got a British passport ) but not on non fed quota. So he could effectively share a quota place with Etu.

I have struggled to find a source for the quotas applying to next year, all I have seen is 5 non fed trained, if you can post a link I will digest and edit accordingly.

Chev added - as back row though described as Utility Forward in press release.

I like how the squad is shaping up, get the rest of the youngsters signed up, ie Conroy, Roberts, Mellor.

Another prop, another half back and some outside backs and were looking good.

with you all the way on that one B4C, I know you love him but can you please change your photo icon graphic thingy of last years back rower now he plays for y no W? Polite suggestion: who is your choice for next year?

Is the table still there? I think OK took the pen.

Still to announce 2015 plans:

Kear (rumoured union bound)
Purtell (no rumours)
Blythe (hoping to stay?)
Foster (rumoured union bound)
Diskin (likely retirement)
George (no rumours)
Roberts (rumoured shudds bound)
Pitts (Hull return/hoping to stay)
Arundel (Hull return likely)
Williams (rumoured staying)

Rumoured Incomings:

Gareth O' Brien
Samir Tahraoui
Lucas Walshaw
Ryan Shaw
Curtis Naughton
JP Baile


Have I missed anyone?

If the four younger players we have signed are part of the six , Roberts and another player complete the six ?

Think that all Nothus , not heard anything from Luke George and don't think he has played under jimmy ?

Fosters TandA column confirms he will be leaving

So from the previous post our squad left to sort plans , -

Kear Bulls confirmed leaving
Purtell (no rumours)
Blythe signed
Foster Bulls confirmed leaving
Diskin Retired
George Bulls confirmed leaving
Roberts (rumoured shudds )
Pitts pretty sure signed
Arundel (pretty sure Hull return )
Williams signed

I would love to keep Roberts , as pretty sure Pitts signed so that's back row sorted. Maybe purtell if money ok , but with Williams and etu signed I think we need spare wingers to cover FB and not sure if George could of done that now confirmed leaving
