Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I’d release Clubb, Navarette, Escare, Flower, O’loughlin, Shorrocks, Woods and Mullen. I would obviously love to keep Gildart but I can’t see it, I do however think we’ll get Hastings to agree to another year.

That would free up enough cash to bring in a player or two and increase contracts for he young lads. I’d look to bring in a sizeable right sided second rower or loose. It still would t surprise me to see S Burgess come out of retirement.

I think Mcmeekin needs a new challenge and there's no chance of Sam Burgess coming out of retirement,he would have to pay a fortune back in insurance money from when his contract was paid up

McMeekan has struggled with some injuries since 2017. I think people like the idea of him because he’s 6ft 4ish, athletic, has good hands and probably has a little more steel about him than Greenwood. Add in the fact he’s a natural right sider and people think we could get a little more out of that position and it’s not difficult to understand why he’d be mentioned.

He has been medically retired and as I understand it the clause governing that medical retirement lasts 1 year from sign off.

So a player can get a speciaist to medically retire them,the insurance company then pays the contract off to the player and then that player is free to resume playing after a year?.That is so open to abuse it doesn't make sense
