If Waine can stay fit, he will be a very good player for us. He is quite fast for a big lad and runs it in hard.

I think it's an exciting signing and it definitely adds size to our pack.

Quite a few players OOC at the end of this season and nothing yet announced.

Fulton – obviously would love to keep him but expect SL interest – Huddersfield were looking at him recently
Davies – good for another year
Butler – would want to keep if he can get fit
Baldwinson – would want to keep if he can get fit
Arundal - would want to keep if he can get fit
Oakes – probably let him go
Lehmann – not seen enough of him yet to say if he’s definitely a keeper. Depends if we can get anyone better.
Taufua – Would definitely give him another year
Holmes – worth a new deal possibly even 2 years if he’s fit.
Gaskell – probably leaving given the replacements announced.
Lawrence – unfortunately not able to get out on the field enough so let go


I think in total we have 17 contracted players already confirmed, with Waine joining Meadows on the rumoured list.

Of the OOC/loan players we have, I'd hope for the following:

Tom Holmes - Retain
Jorge Taufua - Retain
Max Lehmann - Retain
Will Oakes – Release (can't get fit and don't think he is good enough tbh)
Joe Arundal - Release (too many injuries)
Lee Gaskell - Release (rumoured to be going anyway)
Michael Lawrence - Release (injured much too often)
Franklin Pele - Retain if possible (although rumoured to be going to RU next year)
Eribe Doro - Confirmed leaving (Signed for Hull KR)
Jordan Baldwinson - Retain (if proves fitness)
Chester Butler - Release (too injury prone)
John Davies – Retain
Zac Fulton – Retain if possible (probably going to SL though)
Romain Franco – Not seen enough this year to know if worth a punt
Jack Smith – Will go back to Leeds
Jarred Sammut – Retain (worth another 12months as certainly fit enough)
Harvey Makin – Retain if possible (but probably will return to Wigan)
Liam Tindall – Not seen enough this year to know if worth a punt

James Donaldson has signed for next season apparently. Fantastic signing if true. Proper work horse who is unbelievable in defence.

Donaldson would be a superb addition. He’s even in with a shout to be captain if Lawrence retires.

Re: 2025 Recruitment : Wed Aug 21, 2024 9:55 pm  
Agree, start of a very good squad.

Been a bit detached on the other side of the world, can someone remind me what happens post this year regarding promotion / licensing?

Is Superleague going to be 12 teams for 2025 with licenses given later this year?
How long does the license last for? Is it a 3 year term?
The championship winners for 2025 therefore win the title and compete again in the championship for 2026?

Building a good team for next season, I honestly suspect you will be run away leaders next season barring a shock and Cas coming down for Toulouse. Hard to see the likes of Sheffield, Fev, Widnes and York been able to keep up.
