Would be surprised if any of them are here for 2025....
So next season's in-comings [ishould[/i be more interesting than this one!

Cleaned up. Can only give so many warnings

With that said what better way to go out than winning a final or two and gaining promotion with a team. Who wouldn’t want to do that.

Players like Pitts, Ashurst, Gale are professionals and I expect they will maintain a good level of effort and fitness for next season.

I agree. But I'm sure they know that too.
They are the right people for this season.
If we are back in SL, then a different team will be needed.

To win the championship final may not be necessary for our return to SL but it does give us credibility to do so.

Agreed. But if we don't win it, we are losing valuable points where others are looking to increase theirs.

If we just rely on the stadium we could come unstuck.

We must get back this time or the goodwill with fans will drift away.

Think Mills spoke about getting players etc lined up for 2025, which is pretty exciting. The fact that Ellis mentioned about marquee players just boggles the mind compared to where we have been for decades.

Some of the squad are on 2 year contracts so they have been signed with a view to SL.

You are right, but I think he was referring to the specific list of players, who are all older.

Apologies you are quite correct, missed that post.

Chris Hankinson has left Featherstone to pursue other opportunities.

Very interesting- Another signing possibly?

If he's left to pursue other opportunities (ie not RL), you'd assume not. Unless Fev are being very polite, who knows.

Always rated hankinson. Longstaff has left too

Hankinso going to Salford apparently to replace Ken Sio

Of the two Longstaff could be an option but that says outside of rugby I think.

Interesting.
I like the idea of bringing in a big signing further into the season.

Think we’ll wait to see who falls out of the NRL or even over here, £100k is a handy salary nearly $200k Aus dollars. See what happens.

Indeed. Will work if we build a team that can give him the ball

I thought he said he wouldn't play for us again?

Johnstone on one wing,
Walmsley on the other wing.

Would Johnstone want to come back? Surely Catalan would want to keep him.

Perhaps he wants to start a bidding war between clubs, he could make a fair bit of money that way, remember no smoke without a fire.

The home grown marquee rule certainly gives Wakefield a massive advantage regarding the salary cap restrictions.

Lets just concentrate on getting promoted first....
