Just been announced by Toronto Wolfpack on twitter that Jack Bussey will be joining them next season.

So where do we now stand in terms of recruitment:

Naiqama ---> Purtell
Macani ---> Grant
Foster
Soward
Slyney
Thackray ---> Spencer
Harrison ---> Pitts
Magrin ---> Gee

League Express suggested Craven and Channing for Fev.

Solid signings but not the quality to get us into SL.

We've got any number of full backs and full backs who can double up as wingers or centres (poorly IMO), so light in 3/4.

We need an excellent half back, centre and prop.

I wish Eagles all the best and hope they sort themselves out, but if they were to off load players maybe consider Thorpe and Wheeldon, and if he is pushed out at Leigh, why not Hock ?

Harrison is staying. Think Slyney is likely to return home and it would appear that Bussey has signed for Toronto Wolfpack.

A few more thoughts on ins and outs.

I thought Eliab was very good on Saturday hope he can do another year with us. It’s taken time but he looked strong, quick and put in a decent effort. Some talk in the paper of Channing returning, I would go Eliab over Channing any day.

Whisper is that we’ve signed a former Warrington / Bradford prop.

League Express explained that Eorl Crabtree and Ryan Brierley (who I am sure was at Salford on Saturday) are on the outer from Giants, and in my opinion, would be two very good signings, the former would be a cult hero, adding valuable experience and the latter a born finisher, with added versatility.

Hopefully tonight at the Sponsors Buffet we will find out more about plans for next year.

Big Eorl on his game would be awesome in the Championship.
When we played at Huddersfield though, he looked like a white KarL Pryce. Which is why he may be on the way out.
May be a year or two in London might be what he needs.

Agree, think Eliab hasnt been given the opportunities he deserved, maybe a good pre-season and he will do a good job. He is quick and strong, certainly something to offer!

Thought eliab had a really good game up in Salford shows what he can do

Unfortunatly Izzy is strong going forward but is a complete liability in defence, thats why he hasnt been selected

Wasn't the case Saturday.
His defence is no worse than Sowards imo!

Talking to Izzy last night, he confirmed he was returning to PNG, as to get in the PNG World Cup squad he needed to be playing SL, NRL, Q Cup or NSW Cup. He has enjoyed the experience but I also sensed he'd found it hard and at times lonely, but he always has a smile on his face.

Ben Evans?

Really pleased that Kam PP has signed on for a year. He showed his worth last weekend. We all understand how important it is to retain the best of our youth. With Magrin and Macani going it makes it even sweeter.

Where do you guys think Soward will Be in 2017? I would love to see him at Leeds.

Would love to see him at Wakefield, but we seem hell bent on letting the best half backs go elsewhere

Confirmed list of all departures:

Thackray
Slyney
Gray
Bussey
Leatherbarrow
Soward
Eliab
Naiqama
Foster
Magrin
Macani
Stapleton

Does that leave Barthau and Api as the sole halfbacks? Seems risky given their injury records

Did I hear someone say Sammut is coming in?

I heard that Sammut is on his way to you lot.

They say he is going to the club today with a view to signing for next season.

I'm sure he has connections with London. He played in a tag tourno a few years back as part of a London side and seemed to be mates with them all.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/no-he ... gby-league According to Soward we didn't want to pay him what he wanted to keep him for next year. Also states that Michael Channing, Danny Craven and Jarrod Sammut are amongst the probable recruits for next season.

The Sunday Sun said we had signed Sammut.

Quote ="richie166"The Sunday Sun said we had signed Sammut.'" As does the Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/no-he ... gby-league . Quote Soward is among a dozen players leaving London – their replacements apparently include Featherstone duo Danny Craven and the returning Michael Channing, plus mercurial Maltese halfback Jarrod Sammut – as they rebuild yet again, but he intends to be back in England for pre-season in November. '" No one seems to have signed Soward yet as he heads back to Oz for a break although reading between he does want a few years in the UK to start a family & finish his career but guessing he wants a massive salary for his services.

Michael Channing's return confirmed on a 2 year deal.

That brings the squad up to 23.
If the rumours of Evans, Craven and Sammut are correct then that will be us near enough complete
