So far we've got:
Taylor for Paea
Fonua for Lineham
Tuimavave for Rankin
Manu for Sa
Pritchard for ?
Washbrook for ?

Anyone got a latest squad listing with contract expiry dates - one on this site still has Crookes and Miller. I know Paea was rumoured to be the biggest earner at the club but still looks like they'll be another couple going out probably in the back row? Whiting I think is contracted. On the basis of incoming players the rumour of selling Westerman looks plausible but I have no inside info, just going on hearsay.

Running a reserves/u-23s we require a bigger squad. To be confident of fielding two teams you have to be looking at about 35 or 37 pros, even using under-19s to fill gaps, I reckon.

Shaul, Naughton, Lancaster, Bower, Fonua, Tuimavave, Logan, Yeaman, Talanoa, Pryce, Sneyd, Abdull, HTW, Dean, Watts, Taylor, Manu, Green, Bowden, BTW, Fash, Feka, Matongo, Osbourne, Houghton, Washbrook, Litten, Wood, Downs, Ellis, Minichiello, Pritchard, Westy, Turgut, Hadley, Whiting, Thompson, Bastiman, Liggins.

There's 39 that will make up our 1st grade & U23s. Plus there's a few more that we could put in there (may even have forgot 1 or 2). There's no way our current batch of 20 or so 19s will play in the 'merged' academy if the 23s idea takes off. Would imagine our 23s side will be pretty much our 19s this year with BTW thrown back in and the likes of Yeaman, Whiting, Feka & Naughton getting game time, ticking them over if needed.

Plus Frank Pritchard I think

So a larger squad than previously, integrating more players who are 20-ish and perhaps also meaning that there might be more ins than outs? I think we're agreeing. First time for everything!

In terms of Westerman I am sure Wilf has alluded to it in several diaries that the club will take whatever is offered for him. Hopefully Warrington or Leeds will come in for him and offer the right money. Money that I would like to see invested in a new half back to partner Sneyd.

I'm not sure if Westy goes we will bring anyone in, I think if this move happens it will be to balance the books.

I don't think we need a half back, as we have Abdul, Sneyd, Pryce, HTW, Carlos T and Dean. We just need better backs, better support and less handling errors.

On Westy leaving, I am 50/50, great player on his day and works hard for the team, but too inconsistent and his money and possible fee could be very useful for our team.

been rumoured for ages that hes going, yet still here, saying that wouldn't suprise me if he did go, bit like marmite is westy
