After hearing off some credible sources and some digging, it seems a lot is coming in the next few weeks, players not been offered contracts, Luke Gale has signed, Luke Thompson has been offered big money, Ashurst has been offered a deal, also a big name hooker. Salford are chasing Dwyer, Walker offered multiple contracts in the NRL, I hope some is true and some isn’t.
This is a rumour thread so appreciate you passing on what you have heard. That said..
I still don't buy the Gale stories. You don't sign a player who is still less than half way through rehab for a serious injury having also had one last year. At the very least he can't pass a medical.
Would love like Thompson but can't see it happening.
Ashurst would seem a possible and is a good worker.
I think both parcell and Dwyer are coming off contract? In which case a hooker would make sense. I hear people talk about the academy hooker but as he hasn't broken into the first team yet I don't think you can rely on him for next year.
As for walker, is he not under contract? I think he is a great young talent but he will be lost in the NRL. So if he wants to go, let him, but get good money for him.
One thing is certain. It's going to be a busy 8 months for the recruitment team.
