Contracted we have

Newton, Lovegrove, Webster, Green, Dobson, Galea, Taulapapa, Clinton, O'Hara

The rest are just rumour and hear say. Rumour is we could sign Paea and Withers, and lose Clinton and Newton, so the number will still be nine.

Ah, well that's okay then.

Ian Millward signs for Castleford as head coach.

Leroy Cudjoe signs new contract for five years

Although this is possible, playing a hooker on the wing and a prop in the centres is stretching it somewhat especially from a Wakefield fan, your own team used 15 overseas players in one game back in 2006 if I remember correctly.

My guess is he's a Hull fan....

Ah I see I didn't look closely enough to see that wearing the Wakefield shirt was Richard Agar

I see your team and raise you the year 2000 for Hull FC

Luke Adamson to Wakefield and Jarrad Hickey to Salford.

how many of your players are on one year contracts and have to find new clubs.....

Do we really not discuss the whole Hull KR / Quota thing enough?

Just as a matter of interest regarding homegrown players, Saints have called up 2 more youngsters for this weekends game, they must have used around 20 homegrown players this season, that is very good going.

18 so far but Jones and Forster (both in this weekend's squad) haven't played yet so this may increase.

Wellens
Eastmond
Roby
Graham
Moore
Clough
Wheeler
Ashurst
Dixon
Lomax
Magennis
Foster
Armstrong
Gaskell
Ashe
Makinson
Hale
Thompson

Gardner/Wilkin have only played top level RL at Saints too having signed from lower league in their teens, although of course came through the academy elsewhere.

I think it's 23 different Brits have played for Saints this year, hopefully Forster will get a game this weekend and that will increase.

Were Chris Dean, Jake Emmitt and Gareth Frodsham Saints homegrown as well? Saints have a magnificent youth policy, not many teams can boast that.

Vikings announce the signing of Castleford Tigers centre Willie Isa on a two-year deal. The 22 year old becomes the clubs 9th new signing for Super League.

Pretty quiet given transfers can now be announced as of yesterday

expect more activity once clubs are eliminated from the play offs each week

They could always be announced. Wasn't yesterday the deadline where clubs could legally approach out of contract players without permission from the club? So all those announced before yesterday would have had permission from the club to talk to the player.

Isa is a sound investment.

Well he is certainly creating some interest.

You should understand that his form may go up or down though.

Cas will also have to make sure they don't get caught out for mis-selling in a couple of years from now.

Are you here all week??

Correct.

Tim Smith [urumoured[/u to be heading to Widnes.

Your point being.

Maybe they are stop gaps until the younger players are ready. If you want to continue this discussion I will gladly do it via PM rather than clog up the rumours thread.
