With Douglas apparently confirmed that doesn't leave much scope for freshening up the squad - I'd be surprised if Mcomb doesn't resign. Would expect Larroyer to leave, would like Maizen to get another year, but if he does, it doesn't leave much scope for Finn to bring in any of his own players. Wouldn't be surprised if the club try to move on one or 2 contracted for next year to give Finn a bit more scope to bring players in, but that could well prove difficult. Maher would be the obvious one, as we seem overloaded with props, and based on this seasons performances he'd be unlikely to get a look in.

Looking at that,there'd be 5 at least of the re-signed that would go for me..a sad legacy for Finn to have to work with.

See that Keighley winger who trampled over Lachlan twice is being chased by Oldham.A different option to what we have currently ?

Even though it would upset one of our hookers I'd still definitely sign AOB if at all possible as I think he makes a massive difference to the team; on the basis of all his games bar one I'd also be pleased to see Sutcliffe sign on. Watched a replay of the Bradford Sheffield game and Douglas looked a very useful prop - bit frustrating seeing Doro and Gwaze both running in like trains. Unless we can shed some of those already contracted I'd be surprised if we could afford to do much more business. At the start of this last season most felt we had a belting squad, so while there's a temptation to call for massive changes after such a disappointing end to the season, with a fresh approach under a new coach weirdly I'd probably still start next season quite confident. While initially I was pleased when we tied down so many players early for next season, it may also actually help next season that a lot will be playing for their next contract.

At the moment there’s just 18 confirmed on Nat’s list, add 1 more to that with Brandon Douglas so there must be either some more retentions or new incomings as a squad of 19 is well short.

Likely come out one way or another when all the comps have finished.

Oakley and Forster depart...what an epic waste of time there...there isnt the money for project signings any more.Seems to be some truth in the Curtis Davies rumour...il say no more.

On the clubs facebook fans forum Matthew shaw as written a article that we are chasing our former player Curtis Davies. This for me would be a mistake he may come cheap as a squad filler but we need better quality signings than this to progress next year. As for Oakley and Forster i guess we will never know, but Forster did look handy in our preseason game with Wakefield and i would of liked at some point to see him given a go this season.

Connor Davies was with Finn at Dewsbury and it’s Liam who’s the one linked with him but as his first signing to be made directly can’t see why we need a 3rd 9 unless one of the others is being released or playing somewhere else?

Connor is a 2nd Row isn't he? His brother is the hooker. Either way, this would be a backward step. cant knock his effort but not big or good enough

It’s Connor who we’re linked with and he played at 9 and 7 and less so in the back row at the Rams but it’s a head scratcher even in a utility role who’s likely to spend more time off the field than on it when we’ve just released two others who didn’t get much game time.

My bad i got the wrong brother, either way i agree with the above it is not a effort issue he is just not big or good enough.

Neither were good enough the first time they played for us, is there anything to suggest that either have improved to the point they could even be considered good mid table championship players let alone anything above that? I would be a little worried if that is the quality of player that we are chasing.

Not wanting to be negative but that would be a really underwhelming signing, particularly as it would presumably mean that we have no intention of signing O'brien.

I've heard AoB deal is very much still on.

As for Connor, I've only ever seen him in the back row. If the Rams played him at 9 that suprises me.

Apparently for one reason or another AOB does need to stay local so there really is only 4 clubs which are Fax, Fev, Bradford, and Batley. I would say Batley is the least likely and Fev are sorted in that position. Bradford will have the money for him without a doubt looking at how they spend and there is rumors that Patton will leave which would free up quite a bit of cash for them. For me he is a must have signing but I reckon it would be either or him and Moore and with Moore having a year left he would be reluctant to leave as no team in this division would match his wages.

Linking AOB with Bradford reminds me of one of my favourite selection howlers of all time. 2016, Fev v Bradford, one of the pivotal Championship games of the last 10 years, winner makes the lucrative Middle 8 playoffs, loser goes into the Championship Shield.

Rohan Smith drops Adam O'Brien and goes with Danny Addy at 9 and Stuart Howarth off the bench. One of the most inexplicable selections I can remember. Fev won 20-0 and Bradford went into administration about 3 months later.

If I remember correctly, Connor Davies' last game for Fax was a couple of years ago in the play off match against Whitehaven at the Shay when he came on as sub. He was trampled by the Haven forwards, totally out of his depth.

If we are chasing Davies it must be that we are broke. Awful choice

Have any of you thought that the coach might just know a bit more about him than you?

Normally I would obviously agree with that, but even good coaches get it dramatically wrong sometimes - Will Maher.

Grix brought in loads of duds in his time including Flemming who couldn't run through a paper bag for some reason.
