Think aitchinson was released last week. Surely only one off manuokafoa/sammut will have been offered a contract initially with other getting an offer if first refuses?. Otherwise we could have a problem if both accept.

thanks for Aitchison info Mat and yes, what has been said both in the PR and on this site about the overseas contingent is a bit of a conundrum. Scott Murrell seems a strange choice when we already have a good set of hookers LFs etc, unless one of the in contracts is going to be sold or Addy/Donaldson are not staying. Good news about Gale, but we need a pack that gives him the platform.

Burrell is naturally a 6 is he not? I am sure I have seen him play both half roles when needed and in back row.with limited halves available he may be worth a year just for cover especially if we do not have more than Cain ready to step up from academy atm

He certainly played 6 when he was younger and FC will know him from Leeds.

Shouldn't Liam Mcavoy be on here somewhere?

Think Shaun Ainscough had a few too many beers on saterday night and tweeted something like "soon to be unemployed doesnt matter aslong as ive got my wife and kid" (something like that anyways) looks like he is on his way

Yeah I saw that, seems odd if we haven't offered him another deal. I can't see him being too expensive and we don't have too many wingers in our paper thin squad as it is. Ah well, just wait and see what comes out in the wash I suppose.
