Yet Deacon still has a contract.

Bulls to resign:

Paul Sykes
Ben Jeffries
Terry Newton
Andy Lynch
Steve Menzies
Glenn Morrison
James Donaldson
Duane Straugheir

For me the jury is still out on:

Matt Cook
Dave Halley
Matt James

The rest: release.

As for the other players out there, it doesn't really set you on fire does it!

Of interest for me would be: Thorman, Orr, Lee, Gidley and Fitzhenry.

I'd re-sign Halley and Cook, not sure about James. Morro and Menzies we may have to choose between in which case the Beaver as Morro is becoming increasingly injury prone.

I'd like to see a bit more of James. He certainly look good in the brief spells we saw him.

Cook and Halley, can we take them any further?

Mr. Norfolk didn't copy the last player on the list - Chris Bridge. On ability I'd be interested in him - if his attitude has improved. Would he count as home grown?

Also, isn't Dobson on an option deal at HKR. Their chaps seem to think that Saints may be interested in him for next season.

He certainly would be of interest, although every club would be I assume.

He has to be a priority for them!

Not sure if he's a centre, where he currently is at Wire. Definitely got the talent, hope he doesn't end up as a Richard Horne, with no definite position.

I'd have Long and Ainscough. Think Wigan will re-sign Ainscough though, and have a sneaky feeling that Long will end up at Salford with McRae as the replacement for Richie Myler. We should re-sign Sykes, Newton, Lynch, Menzies, Donaldson, Cook, Halley and James.

Curious to know why the three opinions ventured so far do not countenance re-signing Tadulala. We currently have one specialist winger contracted for next season - Sherrife. Doesn't sound like a situation where we can turn away a generally sound player who is likely to bag 15-20 tries.
