Nothing around Kennedy? I thought he's been on of our best. Would look good in a decent team. Back to Oz?

He’s certainly had his moments- his tackling on Zak Hardaker in the recent game against Leigh for one.

The significant upturn in the quality of our performances was mirrored by a significant upturn in his performances. (Those early doors pony offload attempts are a thing of the past) He’s finished the season as one of our very best players and could do a job in another SL team but my guess is it’s homeward bound.

My take on that- informed by no knowledge at all- was that he was doing so much at the start of the season because of all the kids/ loanees. Often we held on for the 20m he started the game with then the wheels fell off. Felt like Kennedy was the only proper size in our pack until we got players back and I guess he was then taken on less and looked better for it?

I suspect, depending on the circumstances, it’s considered poor form to say you’re off until season’s end. I suspect we’ll get a flurry of announcements next week. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear Kershaw to Hull KR next week and Parata to retire but it’s all guess work.

Parata’s retirement now confirmed. A good player for us. Stood up when our team was falling to pieces under Coleman. All the best to him.

Daniel Hindmarsh released by Cas. Would go well in Championship. A good bellweather on our club and next season of we can sign him...

Can't see we will sign anyone unless Hughes either sells or gives away the club or as has happened before he changes his mind.

Could the last player to leave switch the lights off please?

For those of you who have watched Oli regularly (and certainly a lot more than me) over the last couple of years, what kind of player are we getting at Wire? Does he have international potential in a Top 4 set up do you think?
