Like Celtics or Cas

haha sorry

Bad attempt, but at least you apologized

It was shocking but i had to get in there before anyone else did

Like who? FYI Wakey are not bigger than Cas.

Too right!



by the way for those who are interested the cas out of contract players are-

evans
faumina (sp)
boyle
dixon
wainwright
clayton
jones
higgins
feather
massey
netherton
ford

Of that i think we will retain boyle, dixon, jones, higgins, feather, netherton and then ford or wainwright and faumina 0r evans (one of them has to go with the qouta reduced to 6)

From a swift reconnaissance mission on the Leeds board, it appears that their players still OOC are Ablett, Gibson, Kirke, Smith & Worrall.

Ablett - competent, never be any more.
Gibson - never be big enough or good enough.
Kirke - has the size, not sure he has anything special (unusual for a Donny lad), I expect they will keep him but might be worth a shot.
Smith - staying or yawnion.
Worrall - Another Donny lad, can't see them keeping him, not sure I would bother.

Yup, Smith being the only one I'd be interested in. However, such is the paucity of back talent available that if he stays on the list I'd have thought just about all clubs would be interested.

I wonder what Saints are paying Soliola. Must be a fortune considering the competition for a decent centre.

he's not really a top centre is he? he's good no doubt but is far from spectacular to the eye. he is a defensive centre not a strike player. not one of the nrl's best or top centres by any stretch!! but will defo do a job

gould and co say his best position is second row

Very little from what I hear at the club. It is the desire to play with Ade Gardner that was the attraction.

But given the competition for his signature ( e.g. Leeds) surely that will have bumped up his contract a bit.

I would have gone for him - see my sig. Instead we are stuck with clumsy clods like Sykes

sign thorman. he's just what we need. said it when he went to hull, he's class, unfinished but class

How anyone can think of signing more forwards I don't know!

No doubt it will depend e.g. on who is paying for his image rights, whether money is being paid into an employee benefit trust, whether he provides services through a personal services company and whether monies are paid to him when he is in transit permanently back home...

Of course, its always possible he'll be getting just a straightforward salary - stranger things have happened!

Can't blame the guy though when you consider how good The Arrow from Barrow has made average centres like Lyon and Gidley look

kirke is very under rated.not top class by any means but hits hard,makes good yardage and doesn't miss many tackles. a really solid player.i hope we retain him.

ablett is similer,always puts in a good shift and is a real 100% player.
with the cap as it is you need these type of players,won't be on big money but good squad players.

gibson was destined to be a top class player but injuries have put paid to that.he won't be retained.

worrall is dependable,been injured all season. i would say it's 50/50 if he stays or goes.

smith i hope stays but as has been documented wasps are in for him.

Are you being serious ?

Thorman is not good enough for a super league team going for the play-offs

If that is your standard of signing you are happy to have your team has gone backwards further than i thought

surely you could go for a better player ?

Fair enough, but is he good enough for Bradford?

Missed 13 in 11 games.

Even after this season i would still class Bradford as a play-off team that could challenge for Old Trafford

opta stats are a joke mate,they had kirke missing 2 tackles recently in a game he didn't play in!

i know, but the facts don't lie

Lynch. Cas. Done.
