I don't think Tom Nisbet is our player. He was only signed on a year's loan deal from Saints and I am sure that they have recently announced that they had released him.

If this is correct then he is now a player out of contract and without a club

This squad list is taken directly from photos tweeted from our press conference this afternoon.

If Kai is staying I'm very made up.

From the presentation link I put on the other thread it seems Kai is on a 1 year extension.

As are both Bens and Lam, Nene, Aaron Smith, Tom Nisbet, most are on 2 with Ipape being on 3.

Sad to see Aekins go, think he would have gone really well in superleague.

I also worry that we look light in the front row and lack depth in some areas. Nisbet and Jones weren't good enough for us last season so not sure why they've been retained.

That being said, our backline looks very good and some good back rowers there. Wakefield have some catching up to do to match that.

Doesn't Kai hold a British passport? I'm sure the website mentioned that when he signed, he has family links on his mother’s side from Ashington in the North-East.

Doesn’t matter. He must be federation trained - 3 years as a junior at a European club - to not be in the quota.

Welcome back Gents

Squad looks a lot healthier all fit, and I think starting 17 looks good.

Depth looks a little short of quality, and I guess the only other issue is a pretty old (but good) backline. Can they keep the bodies fit and healthy week in week out.

Should be a good opportunity though, sorted it out early and wakey look weaker on paper I think at the moment t

I'm sure we'll bet on the look out to add depth, quality and youth where it is needed - but it's great to see such a good quad assembled at this stage of proceedings.

Big congratulations and thanks to Derek, Chris, Adrian & team(s) for the work and commitment to our great club.
