Here's a couple I've heard:
Keith Galloway (prop, 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.

Heighington is real quality, i also think he has an Irish passport so wouldn't count on the quota?

Problem is the likes of Leeds,Hull,Saints etc would be interested as well

If memory serves me right Galloway is a big front rower we certainly could do with.

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?

You started a thread asking for rumours........... seriously?
Trolls Oblige him.

Re: Rumours.. : Sun Jun 19, 2011 7:12 pm  

Galloway and Heighington would do nicely pair of big units that would give our pack some real good size and presence.

You might be right. They do have the same accountants as Wire after all

He has an English passport so would not count on quota. However he is a key player for Wests and one of the first names on the teamsheet. Also contracted until the end of 2013. Only hope we have is that Gareth Ellis can have a quiet word.
Galloway is also a class act. Also contracted to end of 2013.
If we signed either of these players it would be a major coup. Both would be unbelievable. Neither is realistic.

Re: Rumours.. : Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:55 pm  

The word I'm hearing is that Wests are releasing a lot of players at the end of this season and because of this the players they are keeping are unhappy and it's all a bit of a mess at the moment behind the scenes at the other Tigers team...all fine over at our Tigers though!

Would take both in an instant.

Purdham, yes please but I'd be very surprised if he moved to a Yorkshire club. Would expect him to stay in London or move to the north-west.

Davies & McCarthy I don't know enough about. Coley is solid, unspectacular but would add depth to the props. Cashmere? No thanks.

I think the Morton deal has been well reported. Wildie looks a good prospect, I'd stay clear of George and I though Mariano had just signed a new deal to stay?

Would be happy with all that. Would like to see Fozzard stay involved in some capacity if he wants to. He seems well liked, a good role model and a good influence off the field. Lives locally so unless he gets a gig in the Championship I would think he'd be interested.
