Below is a list of players out of contract next year. Anyone have an opinion on who would be a good signing?.

Paul Sykes, Semi Tadulala, Ben Jeffries, Terry Newton, Andy Lynch, Steve Menzies, Glenn Morrison, Matt Cook, Dave Halley, Matt James, David Solomona, James Donaldson, Duane Straugheir, Danny Orr, Gareth Haggerty, Daniel Heckenberg, Danny Ward, Motu Tony, Chris Thorman, Peter Cusack, Richard Whiting, Graeme Horne, Jamie Thackray, Thomas Lee, Sam Moa, Daniel Fitzhenry, Chaz I'Anson, Makali Aizue, Jason Netherton, Rhys Lovegrove, Ryan Esders, Stanley Gene, Jason Cayless Matt Gidley, Lee Gilmour, Keiron Cunningham, Sean Long (gone to Hull FC) Shaun Ainscough, George Carmont, Phill Bailey, Mark Flanagan Cameron Phelps, Tim Smith, Andy Coley, Karl Pryce, Paul Johnson, Paul Rauhihi, Lee Briers, Vinnie Anderson, Steve Pickersgill, Mike Cooper.

I'd take Lynchy, no-one else from this bunch beats what we have already, except Gidley, and he'll be with Saints, or back to Oz.

alot of these are no better than we have

Think some overseas players will not be here next season which frees up some space.

well theres talk evans to celtic but only aloud 6 next yr we have 7 at min...i dont think widders will be here too which is a shame he ant had much game time

widders is on a 3 year deal

Contracts = Not worth paper they are written on.

Though they can easily be got out of by either side the vast majority of players see there contracts out, whats more i've heard no suggestion that either widders or the club want to part ways.

me for one would like to see widders get more game time now hes back fit,thought he was coming into a good bit of form

I dont think its a case that matterson hasnt been picking him when fit, and i have no doubt whne he returns (hopefully this week) he will be in the squad, ryan clayton is unlikley to keep him out.

We need a standoff,would like Danny Orr back.
Motu Tony can cover both our problem positions,fullback and standoff.
Let Wainwright,Evans,Neatherton,Clayton go.
I would like Gilmore from that list too.
I really don't understand TM sometimes,we finally find a position were McGoldick excels and then he weakens the side by playing him somewhere else.

Very much agree about orr, but if we can afford him is another matter. Would personally let ford go before wainwright, evans has been great for us scoring tries and basically holding the defence up on that side vurtually single handed, netherton has been a very good signing to, when he is spelled with hudson he brings alot to our attack, he's also a young british talent that will continue to improve over time. If we did get orr we could have orr/shifty in the halves and hudson/netherton at hooker with chase to fill in in either position due to form and injuries. We will never become a top team with out at least 5 players to fill thses 4 positions. Agree that goldy is best used at fullback, tm has been forced to play him in the halves to an extent, though personaly i would play westy there.

sherwin is now 31,would we be better of bringing a good young 7 to play along side rangi chase..

That would be the ideal option someone like eastmond or myler, but i cant see it happening, we have brierly and thompson coming through for the standoff position in the future but we may have to buy in 7's for a few years.

Wouldn't be surprised if hull let you take him now

Would love to see lynch and gilmore coming to the jungle.

Ben Black from Fax would be a good signing.

Think he's another quota player, reckon the club would want better quality for a quota player than Black, would like to see Beswick from Fax down the lane though!

Me too, he was a good player at widnes and seems to be even better at fax.

they are not on the thread list so hands off.....

Get Langley or someone like that in and ship Ferres down to Wales.

You don't want Langley, he's bulked up too much resulting in loss of his ball handling skills etc.
