Totally agree with everything said so far. No impact to the 1st XIII starters, although Norman and Trout will definitely see game time from the bench. It can be argued that the starting 13 can compete in Super League, and the bench will be slightly improved. Wigan, Hull KR, Warrington and Leeds look to be recruiting well and Leigh are going for consolidation and creating a squad big enough to fulfill Reserve fixtures.

Still gaps in the halves, centres and hooker. Expecting Milford to fill one of those areas and would be happy for Sam Powell to fill the reserve hooker role. Possibly another overseas signing to replace Big Ben might strengthen the team.

Thought Widdop had retired.

"Widdop’s next destination has yet to be confirmed." Nope not retired, but he is 34.

See Ridy won't be at Oldham next season.

Nor will Gregg or Blagbrough. Though Joe W will.

And, on all our yesterdays, Nene being home/baby sick then signing for Rowls is a strange one.

Rowley has always coveted our players, from Toronto to Salford. All his scouting trips are to the LSV.
Salford are now the selling club, and the spine 6 & 9 are at Leeds. Wonder when Brierley will return to his spiritual home.

rlNow retiredrl

Degsey did say he had a big name to announce in 2-3 weeks. I wonder if they are using Milford as a subterfuge?

Wisdom not been great since return to UK in my opinion!

So we have let Reynolds leave, a solid stand off, good kicker go and look like we have no replacement. So is this worrying or have we already secured a repalcement. Milford still on contract apparently, Croft at Leeds! Who else is available?

Ben Hunt?

Ben's contract was up at the end of the season, we offered him a contract at the level we believed him to be worth, he's decided to take up a contract offer elsewhere. That's quite different than letting him leave.

Now now, don’t let the facts get in the way of people making up their own stories

Without knowing, I’ll reckon we have a significant half back signing within the next month

Good luck in the future Ben

We still haven’t published a list of released players and seem to be having an really slow off season considering how good the season has been, most clubs have finalised their quota spots. We still don’t know how many we have? Does anybody actually know the contract situation with Ben Nakabuwai?

Ben is one of six out of contract guess on 31/10

with an a team to field must be a nightmare trying to sign double figure number of players
Leeds have given the salford half back a 3 year contract worth over £1million with a trnsfer fee on top the hooker has done well and will be on a good wedge

if Milford can get a visa will he be wanting similar money he had $1 million a year contract thats a lot of decking

If we are still looking for a goalkicking stand off to replace Ben Reynolds, Owen Farrell would be an excellent acquisition who would count 0% on the salary cap in year 1 of a contract and 50% in year 2.
