.............and with the other rumour about Griff going to Wigan (although this seems to have gone off the boil), also will Sculthorpe become permanent, what will we do for props

It would appear that Griff & KB have settled their differences by the big one choosing to listen to the boss one! Griff is now supposed to be staying.

Of course I can't guarantee it! After all, it's what someone told someone who told someone who told me!!

Boydy?

I hope Jacko stays, watching him on the replay of the semi and he was immense again, the guy is just a tireless workhorse in attack and defence and takes some stopping.

Jacko will be going but we'll be signing a new prop from what i've heard from a few people, dunno who though.

I also heard Jacko is leaving, would be a shame as he is very dependable. Been great for us, always works hard.

Still its only rumours...if we signed and released all that were rumoured in the past we wouldnt recognise the team from one week to the next

IF he does go, its going to be a shame, I cant think of many props who could replace his work rate and effort.

IF he goes, where ever he goes will get a gem of a player imo.

could see this coming..
i think he is an average prop for super league..doesnt make enough meters..
although i think he has been playing some of his best rugby for the club second half of this season and wouldnt of been surprised if he had done enough to of earned a new contract

all the best jacko at your new club you have been a good servant but everyone has to move on at some point

Will be a huge shame if he does - Jacko has been immense for us over the years wothout ever getting many accolades.

Its not all about metres made, but general effectiveness, in fact i'd say a props job isnt to make big metres at all.

Its to pull in the defence, which jacko does each and every time.
