The clubs in the lower leagues have their cap cut by 25% next season, looks like there will be a few players without a club.

is that to try and balance the clubs top to bottom i.e widnes, rochadale

now is the time to boot out 90% of overseas players, only 2 players who have played a good number of first grade games, poss 50 plus, also one other player of any experience per team.

Indeed Paul McShane will not be leaving the Leeds Rhinos on a permanent transfer IMO although if Matt Diskin was to stay next season i'm sure both clubs and said player would be interested in a Season Long Loan Deal, McShane had the chance to join Wakefield before he signed with Leeds Rhinos and although Wakefield offered more money he signed for his Home Town club instead...

Matt Diskin will be at Leeds next season, had his testimonial shirt made already

I wouldnt be upset with a team like this for next year, with the youngsters also trying to push thru...

Blaymire

Blanch
Atkins
Broughton
Gleeson

G Moore
Brough

Tronc
Newton
Stosic
Snitch
Ferguson
Demetriou

Bibey
Wilkes
Latu
Southernwood

Think all it will do is widen the gap between S,L, and the lower league clubs, making it harder if/when promotion comes around.

But rather then the off season to get up to speed they have at least three years to develop the club so they can compete.

So, trying to pull the peices together - what do you think we have for next year?

1 Blaymire
2 Murphy
3 Gleeson
4 Atkins
5 Peterson
6
7 Brough
8 Stosic
9 Turry
10 Tronc
11 Snitch
12 Wilkes
13 Ferguson

14 Korkidas
15 Moore
16 Latu
17 Demetriou

Looking light on 3/4 and halfs at the moment, but more to come/confirm obviously. Tasty pack mind....

Edited to include the missed Peterson, and the apparently staying Atkins.

Atkins is still a Wakey player and i can't see that changing.

Grix would move to 6 and claim the place for his own. I'd like to see Peterson have another year - he's certainly playing well enough for a new contract.

I'm not sure JD is good enough for the pack this year, so next year is even less of a likelihood IMO. He could fill the gap in the centres that will be left by the departure of Martin & Atkins.



He's still a Wakey player for the rest of this year, but we're cashing in at the end of the season.

Big money Barrow impressed with his defensive display against Senior were they?

Thought Peterson had a contract for 2010.

He does. If he keeps improving the way he has done since Bradford away and stays injury free, with a full pre-season behind him he may well be worth keeping. Not convinced 100% as of yet but he's certainly pulled his socks up recently and is playing much better, just wish hed go for those high balls though, left one at Hudds last week from which they scored and left one last night but luckily Atkins was there to punch the ball dead.

Missing Peterson out of my line up was simply an oversite rather than questioning his ability, simple typo. Peterson no1 winger next year for me (if Blanch goes) and if he stays we are very strong there with Murphy/George possibly able to fill in.

?

Wonderfull reply, full of debate.

Pot kettle and black old pal

Thanks, did i say he was wrong.

I was laughing at him saying we could put george on the wing, as I have had this debate over and over, I keep saying that george is a SL winger, and i believe haywire and chissit and a few others have said hes a SL centre and needs to play centre to fulfil his potential, so i was laughing at his hypocrisy saying george could be played as a winger.

If it wasnt haywire (think it was though) i apologise.

I'm sure they were

but I understand that we've already agreed terms for Atkins with another SL team (not sure who, but think it will be either Leeds or Hull FC).

Can't remember it being me, I am not even certain if he is a winger or a centre (not seen enough of him). What I could have said though, is that wherever possible to play lads in their preffered/natural positions where possible - although in my post I did mean to say that he could play wing as cover, should the need arise due to injuries/bans of Blanch, Peterson & Murphy - our 3 out and out wingers as I see it.

Not Kear's style it would seem!

Dont really want to stick up for Haywire as I am sure he can do that for himself, whether he did or did not say it how is he being hypocritical by saying that George could and not should be played as a winger, and fwiw if you got down to BV a little more to watch the reserves instead of just paying lip service you will see that both George and Murphy play in the centre positions and you might change your opinion about them being wingers and realise the potential they both have as centres'.
