Surely James Hutchinson and greg Nicholson are a must ...... although isn't James Hutchinson in the Air Force , could play havoc with training methinks . Belcher also a great player.
Sad to see Benjafield and Law going , I understand Scott Law has gone to Oz.

I really hope baines isnt let go. He is one of our better players.

Re: Re-Signing of Players : Wed Oct 26, 2011 3:56 pm  

I think it will all depend on what players JD would like to bring in. If he has targets who are arguably better than the current players in that position maybe some may be sacrificed. I think this is the situation with Benji. Hutch IMO hasn't had his best season and maybe the step-up to the Championship may be too much for him. Belcher has failed to make an impact in the first team. There's no doubting his potential but will he get a look in next year?

That's just my opinion which am sure others will have their own thoughts on. The backs and utility forward needs some attention and hopefully we can get some quality in. On paper I would say our squad, as it looks presently, is arguably stronger than that of last time in the Champ.

Where is Belcher ???. He's not been playing for the under 23's. Is he actually still at the club.

Sorry to read that Ryan Benjafield has left the club. A great solid player who always gave his best and did a great job for us.
In lieu of not having a supporters club how about forming a Squadbuilder committee to arrange and run fundraising events throughout the year? Other clubs such as Batley raise thousands for the club this way.

Looks like Ryans signing for Hunslet.

It appears Benji is going to Hawks.
I would expect Greg to also do the same.

Hawks is becoming the home for ex cougars.

Baz, Lowe, Knight, Raynor to name a few.
