Rumours.. : Fri Jun 17, 2011 1:12 pm  

With other clubs now starting to announce signings for next year..

anyone got any news/rumours of who we are looking at next year?

Hull, Bradford, Saints are starting to announce players for next year - wonder if we are looking?

I know we are looking, although I suppose until it's confirmed that we have a place in Superleague 2012, we can't really sign anyone, that's one of the big problems with the licensing procedure.

So much for a level playing field.
Because we've been made out to be one of the team to lose our franchise we cant sign any players until after 26th july. But other clubs can because they know for a fact they wont lose there franchise

I think everyone would agree that if you lot got chucked out it would be a complete joke.

You won't though

Bar Wakefield fans, Mick Gledhill and the odd occasional other fan who hates us.

I agree, but then I also think it would be a joke if we got kicked out ahead of Crusaders, Harlequins or Salford - but unfortunately the majority of other fans don't seem to agree despite the reasons they say Cas should be still in, are mainly the reasons we should be in above the 3 clubs I have named.

FWIW I would rather have a league with Cas and Wakey than a league with Quins or Crusaders

Not heard much about next year but suggestions are Danny Orr will do another season.
Willie Isa is out out contract so another centre may be on the cards unless he recovers from injury and finds some form towards the back end of the year.
Andy Coley has been rumoured.

Re: Rumours.. : Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:36 pm  

Here's a couple I've heard:
Keith Galloway (prop, Wests)
Chris Heighington (back row, Wests)
Andy Coley (prop, Wigan)
Ben Davies (prop, Wigan)
Tyrone McCarthy (back row, Warrington)
Ray Cashmere (prop, Salford)
Rob Purdham (loose forward, Harlequins)

Also heard Wildie, Morton, George and Mariano will also sign if/when Wakefield lose their license.

Obvious emphasis on the pack (and quite rightly too) for Chase (new 4 year contract will be announced in July) and Orr (signing for 1 more year).

Hudson & McGoldrick will be offered to other clubs with Widnes taking an interest in McGoldrick to make cap and in the case of McGoldrick, quota room for new players.

Stuart Jones will not be retained, nor will Fozzard.

Dixon, Ferres, Isa & Thompson will sign 3 year extensions and Dean Widders will also receive one more year if the club fails to sign Heighington.
