So, going off confirmed signings and rumoured departures, we're looking at...

1. New fullback
2. New winger
3. Joe Arundel
4. Kirk Yeaman
5. Tom Briscoe
6. Brett Seymour
7. New half back
8. New prop
9. Danny Houghton
10. Andy Lynch
11. Gareth Ellis
12. Joe Westerman
13. Richard Whiting

14. Adam Heremaia
15. Liam Watts
16. Jay Pitts
17. Richard Horne

Depending on the signings, there's definitely the nucleus of a good team there. If Tickle does go, I hope they give Whiting a shot at loose finally. He deserves it after all these years.

Paul Johnson is a good second rower who has been very unfortunate under Agar. He won a few awards last year with us, and was without doubt our most consistent player. He isn't a prop, he does make yards but he gets banged about far too often due to his size. According to Agar, he is in contract talks with us, but I wouldn't be suprised to see him move. I would be very disappointed though!

It's the getting rid the day before the game which I found strange, especially since he's popular with other players.

Has to be a reason for the speed of it

The 25 player first team squad rule ?

Yep, I don't think his performances have been bad at all, and definitely not bad enough for us to just bin him off when we only have two other proper props anyway, as well as him having a meeting with Bomber later in the week to sort it out.

Anybody know any news on where tickle will actually be next year?

Don't think anyone on here will know where he's going to end up? Rumours are Widnes, Hudds swap for Brough and also Saints been mentioned aswell.

With Widnes, they have offered him silly money.

widnes, with us getting a shed load of cash

Anyone know how to upload pics on here I have a screen shot of Mrs O'Meley ranting all the reasons and calling your club a shower on FB a mate of mine has just posted it on his wall, any info on how to upload and I will put it up.

Not a clue mate, but i doubt it will be here for long.

I know he hasn't played really but do we think a name change will improve his chances of getting a game?

Not sure if this will work but could not work it to upload it so follow the link

I still don't understand this interest for players in joining Widnes, sure you may get 2 years of good pay. But after that there is a strong possibility that their licence won't be renewed and your contract therefore expires. Also for a player like Tickle it would be hard to retain your England spot while playing for a team lower down the league. Its a bit short-sighted in my eyes.
