Dunno mate. Josh is keeping his head down and getting on with the job in hand. It'll get announced at the end of the season. Which is how it should be.

It's a well known fact that Josh Drinkwater wants to play in Super League next season and he advised the club of this when he agreed to come over in the interim to help us out of a full on half back crisis.

Clubs who have already finished in the SL Top 8 can guarantee him that and make him 'A take it (now) or leave it' offer.

Let's just wait and see.

So from the squad currently at the club (discounted Kay, Pownall et al), we'll definitely be losing;

Maitua (bar a late change of heart)
Spencer (London)
Armstrong (Widnes)
Worthington (announced at awards evening. don't know where to)
Dixon (Toronto)
Burns (Back to Oz)

And could be losing Moimoi and Drinkwater. While Fash is also only on Loan

Looks like we'll need to bring 7 or 8 in again this close season.

Presumably we'd have had to bring in new faces, whichever league we are in next season?

Is Whiting leaving at the end of the season?

Whiting was sent back to Hull a while ago. He was on the pitch at Wembley joining in the Celebrations.

I missed that one Harold - I guess the eyes aren't what they were! Although I thought we had signed him on a permanent deal from Hull?

Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "Whiting was sent back to Hull a while ago. He was on the pitch at Wembley joining in the Celebrations.'" HULL FC legend Richard Whiting has essentially played his last game for the club after it was confirmed he will spend the rest of this season on loan at Leigh Centurions and has also agreed a contract with the Championship outfit for 2017.

No point asking H..It was divulged weeks ago,Toronto bound.

Is Lee Smith signed for 2017?

Do try to keep up, JB. Lee Smith's fizzog is on every supermarket wall. There is a full police hunt on for him. They are presently stopping everyone on the street and asking if they know the whereabouts of a man called Smith. Cutting edge detective work. Council Tax well spent by Wiggin.

Even Charlie doesn't know where The Black Fingernail is (cue dramatic music).

He might have signed it when you weren't looking ?

Well he was on the video of the players training which was put up on LCTV 2 days ago.

Maybe they weren't looking very hard?

Think I'll cancel my CTax direct debit, both in the light of that and that of an hilarious recent Bongser Towers visit from the Rozzas.

Ta, Nozzt. Good times.

B&B I think Smith may have been abducted by Canadian aliens or not signed a contract and sent back to where he came or been kidnapped by Greg McNally or may be he missed the team bus after the Sheffield game and he is lost somewhere South Yorkshire.
