Are we done with recruitement now?

Has anyone got a complete list of ins and outs?

Personallyn I would have given Rocky a chance with a month to month contract, he is not the best but the lad leaves everything on the field

Pat

I think we have announced 4 widdop Miller vete and the prop from leeds and said seven are leaving

What happened to Broadbent

FlatCapper

The lad from the reserves has stepped up as well which is technically an addition to the squad, plus, I'm sure I've seen announcements of other 'youngsters'.

I can only predict a 'bedding in' period and hope Radders can knit it together.

Matt

I'm guessing we'll be keeping options open for potential loan opportunities throughout the season or if a player comes available to sign. Can't see us bringing anyone else in between now and the start of the season - unless they've held back an announcement to pick up a few more season ticket purchases.

Crikey we are low on squad numbers.
Could count the young kid we just promoted from the reserves.

Just seen a photo of the cas lights switch on, Mustapha for a prop looks tiny at the side of joe westerman.

mucky1978

We signed Mustapha as well.

Hepworth

Not sure where we are with cap space now but would hope there would be some given the players who have left, otherwise we do look a little light both in terms of numbers and quality,hopefully the powers that be have something up their sleeve.

mdean

Kind of four in and four out to a point. Trueman, GOB, Olpherts and Blair out.
Msutapha, Vete, Widdop and Miller in.

Sticks, Rocky (1/3 probably makes up the 2/3's that Blair counts as if that makes sense) and Feki had limited input. Although they did add depth.

mdean

Looking at all the comings and goings Blair out and Holmes back would have been an optimal outcome..... if's and and's innit!

Maturecasfan

We still need a Center imo.
I wonder if we are going with the youngster just promoted from the reserves.
All quiet on the broadbent front.

Daytona

So what we reckon then for first game if all fit? Maybe something like,
1 Evalds
2 Quare Quare/Faraimo (I’d go QQ)
3 Fonua
4 Turner
5 Eden
6 Miller
7 Widdop
8 Watts
9 McShane
10 Lawler
11 Edwards
12 Mellor
13 Westerman

14 Robb
15 Vete
16 Massey
17 Matagi

I have no doubt we have plenty of talent in the above, but I do worry it looks a bit Dads army if you know what I mean! Hopefully the likes of Mustapha, Sutcliffe, Mcleland, Richardson, Sammy Hall and Brad Martin can bring some youthful exuberance and put some pressure on the ones above. And of course we still have the unpredictable but occasionally brilliant Mamo, the steady duo of Smith and Griffin and the hard hitting but often penalised Milner to fit in. I also think we’ll end up keeping Rocky, as his form before his injury was really good and barring his bad luck I’m sure he’d have been given a contract for next season at least.

mdean

Daytona agree on the dads army front, that centre pairing has a combined age over 70!

It already feels a long off-season!

yorky

looks like a good squad but i still feel we are a tad suspect in the centres, but we will soon find out.

Maturecasfan

Broadbent finally announced on a 2 year deal.

yorky

good news, lets hope he comes good for us
