Does anyone know who is currently under contract for next season already?

Webster,smith,morrison,flynn,kavanagh,gaskell i know for sure.Think thackeray is as well.Need some big props next year and i think houghton might get a better run out as he a big unit.

morrison isn't contracted for next year!
Trust me, i'm a nurse!

we'll see owd cock!!!

I don't think he'll be at widnes next year!!!

Morrison could be a gonner folks, contracts are nothing these days and Mr Featherstone could be correct.

And just to confirm, Duffy and Hartley are both Leigh bound, thats not a rumour that's a fact. Toa will be retired and Mills/Paterson/Ostick/Dodd all gone.

But dont panic discussions are advanced with a number of players or so i have been told. No names given though so dont ask! James Ford is a done deal (2 years) we have also signed 2 others which wont be announced until the current seasons are over.

People have to remember the cap is getting cut next year and currently we sit at the 400,000 mark and havent signed wisely given our current position. Some of the players were letting go are worth 2 players in return on part time deals.

they shouldn't get rid of home grown boys if we need them for super keage bid, like Ostik

1 problem with Ostick IMO he isnt a front rower, his defence is decent but attack wise he offers nothing. Refused several deals and IMO wouldnt get in a fully fit team.

The rumour at Featherstone was that Fletch was still waiting on a offer from Widnes - seems a strange one, but I guess it depends on how much he is on.

I think the main thing will be to build a big pack. We have all seen the difference in our performances and results when players like Pickersgil, Morrison, Fletcher and Gryashon have been in the team compared to when they haven't.

Not too bothered about Hartley, Duffy, Mills or Paterson going, but if we are on about value for money, surely both Smithy and Webster must be sailing close to the wind. Niether has set the world alight and are reportedly our 2 biggest earners.

Fitness is a key with Fletch as well because he is injured a lot of the time and its no good having him in when his fitness isnt up to scratch and when he isnt playing regulary

Have to agree on the Smith and Webster as well because both where expected to have better seasons. Not saying they have been awful, far from it, its just as these are the supposed highest earners they should be performing more consistently

am starting to worry about in particualr one of our star players that hasnt signed yet and people will be sniffing around.

i havent heard anything about Jon Goddard signing a new fax deal. i could be wrong.

Aye! Was before cap announcemnet mind, so maybe just holding fire due to that, top quality player best 2nd row in this division easily, if he was a tad fitter would certainly be in SL!

Heard he is going to Dewsbury next season.

They have when they've had a dominant pack around them and that has been our biggest downfall this season.
