Bowden had an upgrade
Green too
Hadley as well
Mini signed a new deal
Also in the not to distant future before tying up monies Houghton and Watts need new deals . That will require upgrading

Would keep Yeamo another year

Does Yeamo count on cap? Due to the 10 year / testimonial rule, first 50k is exempt.

No other player to use this on until Houghton in 2018

It's 50% of salary up to max £50k off the cap

Houghton counts from next year, I believe, which is his 11th Super League campaign. He made four substitute appearances in 2007. Debut was against Harlequins, also in the team that day were Yeaman, Washbrook (starting hooker), Radford, Richard Horne and Motu Tony.

Anyone know who the other 2 lads were ?
I don't recognise them but tbf Yeamo changed a bit too !

Steve Musgrave and Ian Bell,rlaccording to this dentist's diaryrl

Backloaded contracts I suspect will come into play in why we won't be signing anyone else as well as the others mentioned.
As for kirk, he's being a very good servent to the club, probably one of the best one on one tacklers in the backs since Richie Barnett and it was this that enabled him to come back into the fore this season after too many lacklustre seasons. Well done to him for finishing on a high.
We now need to ensure that our centres are up to scratch, this is why I have reservations about Fonua at centre, I think we would benefit more with him on the wing and reduce the defensive load on him. Similarly Griffin might well be punchier than Yeaman in attack but can he cut it in defence?

Is Yeaman the last player for us to have played at the Boulevard?

Ellis might have played against us there, thinking about it. Only one I can think of.

I knew it was Ian Bell but I would have struggled to get Steve Musgrave.

Ian Bell, dear me, shocking waste of a massive talent.

Yeamo will sign, he won't play for no one else.

I reckon that all depends on what he is being offered. ATEOTD he needs to put food on the table and pat a mortgage. Although I am sceptical when some positive figures on here, there was a suggestion he had been offered £30k.

I was told tonight by kid I know at the club he will sign, he has shown he wants to stay a one club man, especially as we are going so well.
