| Quote: Dr Dreadnought "Having spent so long playing for one club, would his heart really be in playing for us in the championship, the last thing we need is someone just going through the motions, as others have said fitness to play with any regularity is also an issue.'"
If you have signed JM you don't need to worry about him giving his all , it is just not in his makeup not too. True he has lost some pace and he would certainly not catch Johnstone but give him the ball 30 meters from the line and few will stop him from scoring, on top of that he will give most of your forwards a lesson in how to make metres away from your own 20, I wish he was staying at the Giants but hey ho i would rather he was going to Wakey than any other club. If you've signed him he is the best one you'll make for next year, and good luck for next season.

| Wish him all the best. Had maybe the best season of his career as a result of hard work in pre-season. But I’m not too sad to see him move on to the next chapter - we’re clearly aiming very high now.
Reading between the lines, I get a feeling negotiations for extensions are happening right now. Of the old-stagers, who would you keep? Unless anything’s changed it looks like Gale’s retiring, Thornley’s off to play part time, Bowden to Doncaster.
From what I’ve seen, I can’t see Franco (played quite poorly, regular in the reserves, Olpherts brought in) or Croft (we’ve signed two centres) staying.
The big unknowns for me are Ashurst, Kay and Pitts. We all rate players differently, but for me the only decent SL player there is Pitts. Ashurst is still class, I just don’t know if he’d worry any SL team. And I rate Kay’s utility value, but can you really see him jumping in at 6 against Saints next year?
The two old-stagers I’d love to keep are McGillvary and Griffin. They’ve made the Championship look like men against boys at times, and I reckon if kept fit they could still cause havoc against top teams.
Then there’s Cozza, who could be a good squad player if we don’t bring in any more middles.

| Kay is already signed for next year.
McGillvray has said he's likely to retire
Gale has said he'd go again if not injured even if he is second choice.
Griffin I'd say yes but he hasn't got long. We need other backrowers to support him.

| Jerry wont be staying, poor lad looks like he's falling apart held together by a load of strapping but he's still giving it his all, Wouldn't want to keep Ashurst, just dont think he's up to SL level anymore, sad to say it because he's been a massive servant to the club and will be remembered for a long time.
One player I would keep is Pitts, gets through absolutely loads of work in attack and defence, you can see him in the attacking line calling plays and sorting our shape out, feels like a leader for us
