Anyone have an updated list of our clubs - out of contract players - this who would WP look to retain ?

I think currently this is the list….
A.Walker
K.Wood
Westerman
Batchelor
Green
Arundel
J.Woods
Kershaw
Hampshire
Bailey
Greensmith
Senior

I reckon we'll only keep Batch, Bailey and Kershaw.
Maybe Hampshire.

I’d add Green on a one year but only because there is so little out there. I also like Josh Wood but I think the emergence of Kay and the signing of Hood has probably seen him off.

I’d keep Arundal but I’m wondering if he wants to go part time so he can concentrate on his business interests.

Green too given his position. 1 year contract mind.

Shame if Greensmith leaves without really threatening the first team. With Arundel allegedly leaving and the injuries to Tupou, Croft and even Kershaw he may have got a shot.

I would have kept Arundal. I like him a lot.
But from his point of view it will probably extend his career and he'll dominate that position in the lower league.

Green I think I might have done but we haven't seen enough of the good, sometimes for injury reason but I think Willie can probably get a better younger prospect with his connections.

Green, Batchelor and Bailey for me, if we were limited to the absolute minimum.

Totally right - Green has been a let down since we signed him. Just doesn't play to his size and is either injured or not consistent. Rather we promote one of our own youngsters.....

Has he played well over the last few months or so because Chezzy has gone and it's all down to Willie........or simply playing for a new contract?

We haven't really got a young prop ready, the only one we have is already playing in the first team. I suppose Eseh might be ready.

Rumoured that Kyle Wood and Arundel are both in their way to Halifax.

Hampshire must be an obvious retention because of his versatility and the fact he never lets the team down.

I thought that was actually announced. Can't remember now. But I understand its done.

Green - definitely not. Shown no consistency across 90% of his time with us. I would be very surprised if we offered Hampshire a deal as whether we wanted him or not Gaskell will give that flexibility across FB/SO and the three quarter line if we need it.

Also IMO I assume that Tupou is going as why would we have been trying to sign Langi if we were keeping Bill. Can see Josh Wood staying as I don't think Liam Kay (as well as he has done) is a viable long term week in/week out option at hooker alongside Hood. Hope Young Batch and Arundel stay

Give over, Kay has totally proved himself at hooker, I like Josh but Kay offers so much more, not least the ability to play wing and even FB at a pinch. The same applies to Hampshire. Their versatility is priceless.

As I said I'd keep Green only because there is so little out there but I have to be honest I do worry that he's the kind of player who only plays for a contract.

Think we have 25 so far signed up for next season including the 3 new signings and with it been common knowledge we are going with a smaller squad next year maybe a max of 5 signings left. Would hope batch,Hampshire,Kershaw and maybe green offered from that list and 1 new prop coming in from NRL potentially.
