We have Hood, Kay, Walker and Bowes for 9 next year. Kyle Wood has been a great trinity player but it’s time for me and with a huge thank you.

Hampshire is a fantastic utility player imho. Would like to see him stay imho he can cover wing, fullback and halfback which is invaluable.

The problem is ,As W P is caretaker coach as he got the authority to give players new contracts

Kay and Walker aren’t hookers and Bowes isn’t ready. Kyle showed when he came on the difference a good 9 makes.

Some players have been told that they will not be offered a new contract until new coach is in place,
That been so how can they wait until then, it will leave them either open to cheap offer from wakefield or without a club

Stll think hampshire is a better option than jowitt but been told he not ad of yet been offered a deal.and batch would of beeen better than ashurst and pitts and even arona.those 3 mentioned have all hit there peak whilest batch as still to hit yet.

I agree Hampshire should be retained but he is an individual at FB - he does not possess the qualities Max does at FB being able to link with the threequarters. He lets no-one down and would be a valuable squad member ,

Problem is Gaskell is coming in and I think he’s replacing Hampshire which is ridiculous, for the main reason that Gaskell breaks down more often than a Fiat Punto.

Have the club actually signed any real quality, are they any better than what s available at present. Hood looks the best and a hooker should have been at the top of the list.

Much as I like Hampshire, he can't put someone through a gap like Gaskill.
Speed, youth, athleticism is all Hampshire.

Now that Chester has gone I am hoping that the board and remaining coaching staff can put to one side Chester's opinions regarding some of our players. It has been a joy watching Arundel and Rocky, they are quality players. Whatever your opinion is about starting centres or starting half backs these two lads need signing for nest year, why..... because they are quality players. We all know that the game is brutal and its all about a squad, we need quality in the squad, Arundel and Rocky are proven quality .... lets get them signed.

Arundel came in for some stick a few weeks back but that's what happens when there's no A-Team to keep up to speed, now he's settled in, he's proving to be the valuable reliable centre he always has been and needs re signing as there's nothing better out there.
