Rumour has it we're interested in signing Aiden McGowan for 2025.

Also rumours doing the rounds of SL clubs interested in some of our players notably Fulton. Mick reckons it depends on what he's offered. Aaron Bower reports that we're not letting anyone go that we want to keep.

I think we are going to struggle keeping hold of Fulton. Losing one of our better players to a SL team is always tough, but it’s a reality we have to face given our position. When you’re a lower league team, it’s almost inevitable that talented players will attract attention from bigger clubs.

While it’s disappointing, it’s also a testament to the quality we’ve developed here. I’d love to keep him but if he does leave I’ll wish him the best, and we’ll keep pushing forward, knowing that there are always new talents waiting for their chance to step up e.g. Bateman.

When you say rumours you mean Mick Gledhill?

Well yes. So take that how you want.

Whilst still playing well I don't think Fulton is quite showing his early season form. Could this be because he knows he is leaving.

Still think he's one of our best performers. Think he's also played every minute of the league season. Don't think it would do any harm to give him a breather this week.

He's not quite found the gaps in recent weeks so maybe a week off would do him good. Not sure who we have that can cover for him though.

See Trueman is moving on to Wakefield. Once a star of our academy, not quite cemented himself into Castleford or Hull's teams, due to injury mainly. Hopefully a fresh start will be good for him.

I wonder if that will push Lawford down the pecking order.

Ronan Michael announced on a 2 year deal from York. Good addition in my opinion and he always plays well against Bradford. The squad is shaping up nicely.

2 year deal. Good stuff.

Steady away IMHO only 24 though so plenty of time to continue developing

I like how he says Souter was whispering his old mate's ear urging him to sign.

So long as theyre doing it accordingly

The club have just released a graphic via Twitter/X that includes the names of our squad for 2025. The remaining 2024 members who haven't announced where they are playing next season are listed below.

Holmes
Arundel
Taufua
Gaskell
Baldwinson
Butler
Davies
Lawrence
Doro (Confirmed move to Hull KR)
Oakes
Fulton
Lehmann
Pele
Sammut

Out of that list I'd want to keep Fulton, Holmes, Taufua, Lehmann, Baldwinson, Davies & potentially Sammut as a back up halfback.
