For the fear of sounding positive what's left is far from the worst I've seen at BV and with some sensible additions and positive coaching it's far from easy beat material.

Gutted at the loss of Amor and sad to see Aiton and Poore who are genuinely quality go but the rest are all replaceable.

Not that bothered about Smith, good in parts but no Danny Brough IMHO.

Would have liked to keep Kay, but choosing championship RL shows a worrying lack of ambition IMHO - I don't care how poor our offer was it's still SL Rugby and a chance to back yourself and hopefully make the grade - remember he played ONE game - ditto Cowling though I feel he has been a bit more harshly treated.

Also it's not as if last years team were ripping it up anyway - many of those below would have gone anyway money worries or not.

1 v Mathers
2 Liam Kay v Fox
3 Danny Cowling v Collis
4 Vince Mellars v Smith
5 Ben Cockayne v Lynn
6 Kyle Wood. V Sykes
7 Tim Smith, v Goulding
8 Justin Poore. V Tautai
9 Paul Aiton. V Wildie
10 Kyle Amor. V Raleigh
11 Oli Wilkes, v Kirmond
12 Frankie Mariano, v Ali
13 Chris Tuson. V Washbrook

I'm ok with what we have as long as we can add some depth to front row.

Peter smith on twitter earlier today saying he thinks 2 more to leave. Losing a bit of quality for an increase in bodies.

He said hes not looking for get rid of anyone else, hopefully it says that way.

Done

Wildie signs 1 year contract extension

Good luck to him.

He'll be an important player for us this year.
I thought we'd have given him a longer contract but maybe that is with the uncertainty of P&R and protects both parties.

Thought all contracts included a super league clause whereby null and void if not in it?

Anyway good news as I think he is a decent option at hooker

Good news on Wildie and I think I read he's taken a pay cut on his new contract. I've always rated the lad and he's done well when given a run of games. The home grown lads will provide the team with a touch more impetus next year to avoid the bottom two, thats why they're so important to include in any team dynamic.

Anyone know what the London squad is looking like at present?

Six players with one out injured for best part of half a year. Last I heard Rae is trying to circumnavigate the non-fed limits (whatever they're going to be next season) to fatten out the squad.

Probably make or break year for Matty. He's comitted to the cause, lets hope he gets a run of games now to prove himself once and for all.

Barring injury I can't see him NOT getting a game.
