Forgve me if I've missed this but what's happening with Ridy and McNally? I haven't heard anything either way about these two.

Well, Harold Jr was of the opinion they would be staying - and he's usually got his ear (or is it nose?) to the ground. I hope they are staying - I feel McNally added something to our SL effort, once he'd regained his fitness, after the terrible pre-season injury, and I'm pretty sure Martyn would have also added something, given the opportunity. Put it this way, he certainly seemed to add something to Huddersfield's SL survival bid!

I think SL contracts run until November, (although I'm not sure when ours become/became null & void) and unless another club announces they have signed one of our players, or we've signed one of theirs, I guess things will remain frustratingly quiet. Amidst all the rumours, I've heard nothing about Brown, Dawson, Hopkins, Burr, or Mortimer either.

Just read he was only one of two players to compete in every game last season. .. surprised how hes even available?

Re: Probable Ins and Outs : Tue Oct 10, 2017 6:26 pm  

According to one of the NRL news websites Peter was offered a one year deal by the Knights for next season. It was then reported that St Helens offered him a two year deal. Leigh have offered him a three year deal which he has signed. He has a family and the deal from Leigh offers them all extra financial security, plus he has bought into our plans for the future.
I wish Peter and his family well at Leigh Centurions.

That is a good signing and would have been, in my opinion, had we still been in SL.

Hopkins has been offered a contract, fingers crossed most of the others named get the same, although I do believe Mortimers was not SL only - would be a real boost to keep him

Re: Probable Ins and Outs : Tue Oct 10, 2017 7:18 pm  

There a few players been offered contracts but it’s not the £££ they are looking for so don’t be surprised if some of our players leave who are expected to stay.

Definitely - I would like to see him at hooker, the position he was playing in the NRL.
