Rapira is/has already sorted out a new club, he was told he wasn't being kept on so to get looking.
Ta'ai has signed for another year.
Smith has been offered to clubs on a permanent but more likely going for a year's loan
Ormsby is going to Fax
Ellis will be coming back if we can't sign Ridyard permanently, if not then Hull KR.
Rankin has 3 offers on the table for next year

These are what i've heard/been told - only 2 are definite.

Did you watch the game all way to the end? Went missing in last 10 leaving everything up to young halve brock lamb, got lot of stick for it, plus hodkimsom was never at knights same time as stone and neither was Nathen brown

I would much prefer Ridyard than getting Ellis back if that turns out possible. If Brough has another 18 months, that gives us time to make the effort to get some one with his class to replace him.

Trent Hodkinson is a good goal kicker, but that`s all. Only very average. We need to be looking at better quality than him.

First game back after a lengthy lay off, hardly surprising he tried towards the end. Have you been watching the Knights this season (and last for that matter!) they are capable of losing a game from any lead in the last 20 mins, they've done it so many times. Brock Lamb made some real dumb plays near the end, clearly not first grade level and quite clearly at fault. BTW thought Wardle had a good game, and one big hit.

So Stone hasn't got any Newcastle contacts ?? find that hard to believe, and my understanding is Nathan Brown is Hodkinson's coach, but I seem to have that wrong, so clearly would have no view on him??

Was his second game back and his lengthy lay off was him being dropped to reserve grade where's he played every week, to clarify brown and stone don't know each other and all backroom staff at Newcastle from stones time are gone ,his two sons are in there and his only contacts, he was sacked twice by them remember
