Mark Ioane appears to be remaining with us instead of moving up to Bradford. We also seemed to have signed Bradford's Jay Pitts for 2017 and there is a chance that Bussey may move to Toronto. All hearsay until signed that's for sure.

Adrian Purtell also on his way to you guys I hear.

As I understand it, Purtell is following Jamie Langley nd coming in as a coach.

Replacing or joining him??

Player coach role I've heard

Not the sort of player we should be signing, far too old and slow

Purtell confirmed on a 2 year deal.

Combining his playing role with assisting Jamie Langley with the academy.....

Hopefully Pitts will be next!

Always thought Pitts was a decent player, would be a good signing. Very much hope Ioane stays, hard working player and a bit of an unsung hero this season from what I've seen.

Pretty sure Ioane is staying. I think he is a great player, he really gets stuck in.

Hope mark is staying he has improved over the season and makes Mtrs

Harrison is good value. Mr David Hughes should increase his offer.

Both should be retained if possible, both have lots to offer!

Assuming Hendo wants to retain the balance of the squad, and of course, many confirmations to be had but is this how everyone sees it

Walker
Naiqama ---> Purtell
Macani ---> Grant
Foster
Soward
Slyney
Thackray ---> Spencer
Bussey ---> Gee
Harrison ---> Pitts
Magrin

Maybe assuming a couple of academy boys like Syd and Davis step up further.

Is Purtell counted as overseas ?

Such a shame if Slyney, Harrison and Foster left
