I’ve a feeling Kelepi will have gone by the time the international break is over.

I had bet with a mate today that he wouldn't finish the game and limp off. he didn't even limp on.

I don't think Max would get a starting contract.
The aussies will all go home and Langi will probably play on France.
Murphy once fit will get a contract. Lino would get one.
The rest of the backline are not playing in SL next year. Even with us.
Whitbread would get a contract where ever he wants to play. Kelepi maybe. Eseh might. Rest no.

So if we go down we still need to decide whether to completely rebuild or keep majority of team on lower contract and see if that's their level.

Can’t argue with that. Given the lack of player numbers about a couple of others might pick up squad member places somewhere but thats about it. Even Reece Lyne looks a spent force these days, looks like he’s permanently running in treacle and his decision making is shocking.

Murphy has already got a contract with The Roosters.

Give over. At a half-decent club with a proper coach he'd be twice the player than what he is here.

Is that still in place? Wouldn't surprise me if it was cancelled, at least until they assess his recovery

Maybe. I think he's good. But I don't see him as so much better than other fullbacks that a team will come in for him.

Is it me or does this deal now look like its even more ridiculous now. Not from Wakefields point of view but from Hull KR's. They now have centres below for next year and struggle to see where Corey Hall fits into this plan. He left a club because he wasn't getting game time and doubt he would stay to play second fiddle.

Hiku end of 2026
Opacic end of 2024
Gildart end of 2026

I think it's a mistake from Corey who could end up loaned out or playing reserves.

They have signed Hiku to replace Coote at fullback.

He didn't leave because he wasn't getting a game.

Hiku is not a full back he's too slow. It might that he's taken Cootes quota spot but he's never a full back. He's a centre.
