Is it case Peet wants to see everyone in preseason before dishing out the numbers or are we awaiting a signing ?
Last years came out in late December, 2022 in late November'"
I’d say the former.
Going to be a pretty competitive pre-season me thinks especially with the Penrith game.

| The same source that confirmed Smithies was leaving a few weeks back told me last night that Harry Smith has an NRL offer on the table along with (as you'd expect) a contract extension offer from Wigan.

Huge decision for him and huge for us. I think it’ll need to be lucrative any offer from Wigan but I’ve got everything crossed we can get him sorted on a long term deal.

Think this might be an unpopular opinion, but i would let one of French or Field go at the end of the season if it was necessary to keep Harry Smith on, he is so integral to everything that i think he is more than worth it. Whichever stays would be fullback and i would be looking to purchase a budget friendly Stand Off.
Personally (although i prefer him as a fullback) I would let Field go as French is more versatile and overall the better Rugby player.

If you factor age in if one had to go I think I would be keeping Field at the end of the season if you could tie him down to a long term deal

| Not sure one would have to go, looks like we have cap space with Shorrocks and Powell going and Cooper and Mago will likely be leaving next season with their replacements already at the club so should be room to give Smith a tidy pay rise.

From what I’ve heard it will take a substantial pay rise to even give us a chance of keeping him.

I think that was always going to be the case even without the NRL interest. An integral part of the team with proven big game ability, full international (and a Man of the series one at that!) plus the normal contract increases you would expect for a player of his ability would all combine to suggest a hefty increase. Factor in the NRL and it is, as you say, going to be substantial.
Any rumours as to his thoughts on going or staying?

Sent you a PM Phuzzy.
I think it will be very difficult to retain him. Hope I’m wrong.
Obviously we’ve got Farrimond coming through but I think that Smith is probably the most influential player in SL and 2025 maybe too early for Farrimond.

I hope it can be resolved. The best 7 in Superleague currently and absolutely crucial to the way we play.
