Past it.

Interesting article in T&A. O'brien wanting to stay. Dan Fleming looking like signing for new Canada side. Sounds like Addy & Clark could be playing SL next year. Clark will be a huge loss.

Addy would too. I more than like him in the backrow.

Would be a shame to lose either but if they can get bigger gigs I wouldn't want to stand in their way. They're both better than the level they're at.

Meh, not sure about Addy. Clark has a lot of potential but is very raw indeed. If they get SL offers they’ll be from middle 8 clubs and probably not including Leeds and Huddersfield there.

I’d not blame either for going if they got offers.

As for O’Brien he’s more effective when he’s sharing duties with another hooker. We should be playing Lumb more and especially if he could end up taking O’Brien’s place next year.

How do you manufacture a deal for 2 out of contract players?

Maybe a sweetener for a player to go to a certain club? I dunno. Don't shoot the messenger.

Comment wasn't aimed at you, just at the article. It doesn't add up, ooc players are free to do what they wish.

Re: Recruitment & Retention Latest : Mon Apr 25, 2016 1:46 pm  

Have to agree. If both were under contract for next year, then a swap could be on the cards. However as both are OOC then either can move without the need for the other to go in the opposite direction.

Personally, I've been resigned to the fact that we're likely to lose players such as Gaskell if we spend longer than 2 years outside of SL. The only real hope I can see of us keeping him and the other players considering moves is dependant on the new coach and what he brings to the club.
