I agree about Lino. However, the problem Smith needs to resolve is consistency. He's had good games before but then not been able to follow it up.
Bowes absolutely is first choice hooker to me now. But generally you need two and we are using Kay elsewhere. So maybe Hood does get a spell but if he does, he should be the one playing 15 minutes.
The thing for me when you talk about smith and consistency is lino has played loads of games and constistently takes the wrong option! . smith and bowes need a run of games as do the french guys,lino tafua,lynne,lineham,atoni just not cutting it and need resting.
Obviously if we go down, everyone who hasn't got a championship contract would be OOO
If we stay, this group are out of contract....though I can't remember if we extended Pitts. If not we should.
Matty Ashurst, Renouf Atoni, Eddie Battye, Josh Bowden, Jordan Crowther, Lee Gaskell, Liam Kay, Lee Kershaw, Jay Pitts, Kevin Proctor, Jorge Taufua, Dane Windrow.
Was hoping a couple more would have apeared6 on that listso if we get relegated are all SL contracts canceled or can an individual player stay on in the championship.
It literally explains that in the post above yours Lampy.
If we are relegated, Super League contracts are no longer valid. We would need to offer and they accept a new one. We've done that for a number of players already so we are covered in either scenario.
I think (but don't know) we have signed Max, Gale, Lino, and Bowes for both leagues. There are probably more now.
