Quite a few on here mentioned Anthony Thackeray,in the off season,but i see Widnes have already told him he won't be kept on next season www.loverugbyleague.com/news_542 ... -2012.html

Horne - Should only be offered a fringe-player sized contract, which I can't see him taking.
Long - Let go.
O'Meley - Beg to stay.
Fitzgibbon - Do not keep as a loose forward under any circumstances.
Washbrook - Not too bothered either way if he's inexpensive.
Lauaki - Another year to hopefully see what he can do under a proper coach.
Dowes - Let go unless a new coach comes in before the season ends and he has a big response to it.
Phelps - Let go.
Burnett - Same as Washbrook
Moa - Same as O'Meley

Retaining Fitzgibbon should depend on what we can do with our overseas spots. IMO we really need a prop, 2 halfbacks, and a fullback. One of the halves to be British, which would mean 2 spots for 3 players. Fitzgibbon could then be kept as a prop if we can either fill 2 of the 3 positions with Brits or we can't find a better overseas prop option. Personally I'd hope we look at finding a good British prop as we are getting short on them.

I would also tell Turner he can listen to offers.

Tim Smith

just been watching canberra v cowboys and it said that matty bowen might be looking at finishing his career in northern england, great fullback/6 and a bit injury prone

anyone who is past there best should be released.....long, horne for starters....saying that tho, fitz is past his best, but what a player he still is....he should get another year at least..ala menzies

id bloody hope so..maybe he got a 'U' in his geography exam....

Gareth Moore signs for Wakey, be interesting to see how he goes in SL, signed a 2 year deal, but if looks good might be available at the end of year.

Sheldon will be pleased he gets a chance at SL.

They are winning things so easy they want a handicap to make it more interesting.

Those are the ones I'd hope we keep tabs on, but obviously with varying levels of achievability. Also, if Wakefield are still in need of a few bob I quite like the look of Paul Johnson for a small fee.
