Nice one smiffy, I really hope we get to see him in our squad and he doesn't leave before he's even got here.
Speaking of which, do we know when the likes of Vaughn & McGuire will be arriving??

Greg Minikin given the number 3 shirt.

Better than Ratchford (Slightly), but offered nothing in attack from the games that I saw him play last year, both for our Reserves(Playing against kids) and for our 1st team.

What if ratchford has been given the 7 shirt? That would indicate no more new signings.

I'm going to view minikin as a new signing, harsh to judge him on last season after a bad injury and then returning to a very poor side that was struggling in all areas of the game.

Did he play many (any) games at Centre?

Jackson Hastings maybe on the move:- https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... d523e964af

I think that he played 7 first team games, all starting at right wing.

He played centre for both Castleford and Hull KR, prior to signing for Wire, so he has experience with the role.

not uncommon, you've seen a few catalans players renege on contracts in england, i think semisoni langi most recently did an about turn on a wakey contract.

Ratchford has 4, Harrison has the 8 shirt which I find a little baffling, he's not a prop in my eyes, certainly not a starting one with the others we have. 7 shirt is not allocated.

The other one that caught my eye is longstaff given 33 which is the last number, doesn't appear to have a future with us. Bullock is below Vaughan, philbin, kasiano, dudson, mikaele and Harrison. I know that doesn't mean too much to be fair and he could well have asked for that shirt.

nope

I can't say i'm thrilled with our pack for next season . Our 4 starting props could be spending more time at the disciplinary than time on the pitch. Our spare props are basically rejects from other clubs .
And the club wants me to renew my season ticket ?
