I see Hull KR have signed a prop from London, I think thats the third prop snapped up from the lower divisions for superleague.

Good to see that there is still a path for players to come through from the leagues below.

I wonder if we were in for any of them? We were told by the club that there are no props available but it reality seems otherwise. Perhaps there are no props available within our budget would be more accurate?

It's a long and hilly path that Greg Richards has chosen. Long time since his Saints days.
Give Aydin and possibly even Eseh a start rather than wasting money on no more than a squad filler. Maybe Rovers don't have any young props coming through?

Mr Carter did say, that Props from lower divisions were been offered big bucks by clubs to signed,and it is a gamble that teams at the top of the salery cap can take .Wakefield have got to get every signing right .and admitted they had got some wrong

Talking about props. Eseh will be 18 by start of next year and will have a full time season under his belt and a full time pre -season. The lad seems to have the size and the energy about him. I can see him playing a handful of games or more off the bench next season. With the lack of options for props I’d be more than happy for us to blow a good amount on one single good prop signing from the NRL and invest a lot of energy in pre season into the likes of Eseh and Aydin to get them to make the step up.

Battye

Are our current signed on options. Tanginoa needs to be at left SR next season which is as clear as day (only used in absolute emergency). We clearly need one big mean prop. I’d honestly rather have one very good prop than 2 average ones. It’s got to be in our budget though.

We do have a rather large difference on players leaving and coming.

I reckon the rejuvenated Chris Green may well get another 12 month contract.

I think this is only because you have to tell those you are not offering contracts to earlier so they have chance to negotiate.
Outs are always announced well before the ins, even if they've actually signed.

I'd give him one. He's a big unit and shown some grunt recently.

The problem is the third group those are in negotiations but have yet to sign. I would have thought that with only one week of the season left we would know which players are not being retained.

We do.
The players that are not being offered a contract have already been told.
Those we have offered but are allowed to talk to other clubs already know but may choose to accept. We would have given them a time limit so we can look elsewhere.

Do we who are the ones we have not retained.

I doubt he knows the names, he’s explaining the process.

I wouldn’t. Don’t want players who only put the effort in because their contract is running down, and then go back to being anonymous.
