No Solomana....Rhys Williams...or Lee Mitchell

You surprised?

No, not really.
3 out , how many new faces? Or just promotion from the 2nd team.

Happy with all those.

Maybe a little surprised Hodgson got 2 years but he's obviously benefitting from squad rotation.

Few surprises for me...
No Rhys Williams
Brett got 2
While Briers only got 1
And Coops only got 1

Does anyone know the situation re. Ben Currie? Have we got him tied to a lengthy contract? Hope so.

Chuffed with all the contract extensions.

I am nit picking but I would have been happier if Mickey H would have got 2 years instead of his one, i'm not complaining its just that I rate Mickey H a lot.

Also how daft does Huddersfield's offer of a one year contract to Brett back in 2010 before he signed a 2 year contract with us. At the time the Giants thought Brett had no more than one year at the top and here he is playing top flight RL until the end of 2014.



No extension for Big Dave could be seen as leaving space on the Cap for Bateman to sign for us

What about Ben Currie ?? That is by far the most important question for me.

Surprised about Higham. I thought he wanted to leave and concentrate on his business.

Laithwaite looks to have been given a year to prove himself.

Very surprised about Hodgeson's 2 yrs unless he is going to be coaching as well.

Not really surprised about Solo, Rhy Williams and Lee Mitchell.

That's quite a long extension for GOB, they must believe there is still a lot to come from him yet, which is good news.

I'd hazard a guess there's a contract there for him, just he can't sign it yet while he's in Aus.

Thing that concerns me is I'd heard about a few of these a couple of months ago so I'm a little surprised Currie's wasn't sorted before he went off on his trip... We've still got him til November so no panic stations yet.

There were rumours that he had been offered a 2 year contract by Saints, so I guess that Smithy wanted to keep him @ the HJ rather than go to another rival

Perhaps you are right, let's hope so.

Agree with FB about Solo, it would leave cap space for a signing. I assume Rhys and Lee leaving will allow 2 U20's to be promoted.

I wonder if number of games played forms part of Hodgeson's, Morley and Briers contracts ? I can not see Hodgeson's and Briers playing a lot more than say, half of our matches next year.

Don't quote me, but I'm sure I read somewhere a few months ago that Ben Currie was already on a 4 year contract.

Coops got a two year extension.

I am surprised that Hodgson has got a two year deal, and I hope that the deal incorporates some coaching aspect with the U20s and academy players as he is top class.

Plus One
Brett is pure class and I think he would make a great Coach in years to come.

Great stuff, glad Hill and Westwood got an extension, we need to tie those guys in they are amazing talent.

Briers, Higham and Moz definately have some time left in them, was worried about Moz earlier on in the season but with Smith rotating now it is working much better.

So glad the youth are having a chance to shine too, we need to keep hold of the great home talent...

In Smith we trust

I've signed a new 15 year contract extension with Warrington to take me up to my 50th Birthday. Saints put a bid in but I've decided to commit to the Wire. Delighted to secure my future and that I'll be a Warrington fan for the best years of my supporting life.

Bloody hell, I just knew there would be a downside to all this.

Five years I believe

Really.......... I hope so, he is class.

The one Contract Extension I now very much want to hear is Tony Smiths.
I am hoping that it is the case that TS got the players he wants singed up and now will turn his attention to his own contract.

He's actually one of my favourite posters, but don't tell him as he will only start getting big headed.

Very suprised with Hodgson getting two years but ISWT, look forward to Ratchford learning from him in that time.

Delighted really, I was only thinking that other day we'd better get round to this. Could mean the end for Solo and Williams. As for recruitment, I think we'll get Bateman and that's our lot.

I think part of the reason to give Higham two years is Monaghan supposedly never returning to full fitness, if Mickey M was unavailable for a large period it'd be throwing Dwyer in at the deep end a bit.

Dwyer is certainly not the finished article & needs another year or 2 learning off Higham & Monas with game time - wonder if a loan to championship or SL would do him good?
