A lot depends on who we retain. I think this is correct, but anyone, please feel free to correct my mistakes if there are any...

Sau (Non-fed)
Patterson (Overseas & non-fed) Possibly leaving.
Maitua (Non-fed)
Chase (Non-fed)
Hauraki (Non-fed)
Tasi (Non-fed) But is leaving at season end.

Dobson may not count on either list as he had been playing in the UK before 2008 which provides exemptions. I'm not sure though.

Looking at that list it still shows we have six non-feds, but I thought the ruling was a team could only have five?

I'm sure there's better people at giving you this info than me...

It changed to 6 non-fed trained this year.

I'd love to comment on who I'd like to see come in but until we have an idea of who's actually staying or going it's hard to say. We definitely need some props though.

Edit - Oh and Dobson isn't exempt. The player is required to have played in England (not sure if it's just SL?) since the exemption came into place, as Dobson left for a season he's exemption exempt.

Our fave clown has suggested the fifita brothers may be a target. They'd be class in SL, but because of the rumour source, I'll believe it when I see it.

With the reduction in interchanges allowed from next season (and decreasing further still) surely more mobile forwards with the capacity to play longer minutes are needed.

Just correcting myself - it changed to 7 this year, not 6.

Fishing with a scatter gun. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... rl-9893008 We seem to be after 66 new signings.

We wont have to wait long until the first one or two are announced, I suspect a win at Bradford on Sunday and we might hear something next week.

Very surprised with the amount of people who 'know someone' at the club that we haven't had all and sundry telling us who is definitely signing.

Since Sheens has been in charge of recruitment, there has been a definite lack of information from the usual people within the club. A far more professional approach than we've previously had and one I much prefer.

Barker isn't far wrong with some of his names either. Mark Flanagan has been offered a contract and is a name he mentions at the bottom of his article.

Rumour at hull fc is we have accepted a bid for westerman, no names on which team though as yet apart from being strongly linked with leeds

I'd swap for BJB, cracking player just looks short of motivation to me.
