I actually forgot he played for us for a minute there

Good point. Showed he's still got some quality in the games he did manage to play in and actually passes to his winger

The Head Coach knows what he's doing.
Recruitment for this year was pretty good overall and I'll wager it is better for next season

According to the RL press this week, three of your sponsors have reduced their money to your club for next season so I would imagine finance has something to do with the changes being made, although you now have big bucks from the sale of Myler to compensate for that. But also, it's natural for clubs new to Superleague to shed some players after the first season. Castleford got rid of 10 at the end of their first season. Some players make the step up; others don't. Then you have natural wastage like Mr Gorgeous who is now too old and will be playing part-time for Leigh.

I wouldn't be alarmed. It all looks perfectly normal from the outside.

It'd be nice to have the money Wire obviously have this season! They're spending like there is no tomorrow.

I have no idea who's earning what at the club but I'm confident it's the most expensive squad we've ever assembled and we managed 13th place.
It wouldn't surprise me to see more outgoings than incomings. Promote the youth and buy british, we wont climb the table but we may win some moral high-ground.

wilshere is the 5th player to turn down a contract at the club (myler turner drew and stepleton) do they now something we dont.... im hoping more announcements on signings will be made in the next week through not just getting a load of players on loan...
does any1 now the date for the fr anise for nxt year i and whn will announcements be made of the succesfull application

Can you buy a new keyboard

managed to speak to him the other day, He's hoping to get a new contract at salford but hasnt signed yet and should be back training within 2 weeks.

the MEN says up to 9 players but but only mentions 5 including JW.

The club's employees? Knowing more about their contracts than us? I wont stand for that...

As I posted (echoes of H Wilson here),

Wilshere has been offered reduced wages as our financial flow has been reduced.

Question= What do they know? Answer= There's less money in our club.

I wouldnt panic too much yet we know most of the 9 already

Myler
Turner
Wilshire
Paul
Stapo

Then the possible/gossip

Big Phil
Littler
Sibbit
Walton

We offered him a contract and if he thinks retirement is a better option then fair enough

Ye & who exactly do we have lined up for replacements with our reduced wage bill that's the problem!

The overseas players cost more due to add ons in their contracts for accommodation, flights etc.

As much as we have Stapo, Phil and Jonny to thank for some memorable games would you offer them anything more than a 1 year deal?


Myler and Turner both went for more money and the greener grass else where, well so long we don't want to pay over the odds for potential.

Sibbit was lucky to get the last contract due to the injuries, Walton is an idiot and then there is Stu.

No real surprises and much of this is natural wages.

Hope the club work hard to find extra sponsorship and sign some good young British players.

Swain adn Cashmere are a step up for our imports.

I dont know i dont have a list of players who are available, there will be tho.

Id hope Simms goes shopping in the same places and talks to the same agents as last year, everyone he purchased last year have shown that they have class and has moved the team and the standard of playing staff forward.

I just hope Mr Simms doesnt sign a class player who doesnt fit in our system (like luke" do somthing" dorn) what we need is a Forward who can offload another forward who can make an impact when he comes on, a grafting 2nd row who has a brain a Utility back who can fill in at Fullback, centre and winger and Possibliy a centre who has a pair of hands so we have options in our 2nd phase play

They will probably be young perhaps from Leeds Academy or in Oz on a British passport (Like Gower)

Ill be happy with that

Are you forgetting he brought in Smith
