Tomorrow is deadline day for clubs to tell players out of contract this year if they are to be offered new contracts. In other words, they have to be given 6 months notice.

I don't think that it is that straightforward. Clubs also have a "maybe" option, meaning that they would like to offer the player a deal but have some shuffling around to do finance wise. Rovers dropped some players in the brown stuff last year by using this option and deciding against offering a deal last minute. I'm pretty sure all clubs do the same.

I guess "maybe" is always likely to be put forward, it's up to the players to weigh up their options if they have any. Not very friendly if "maybe" really means "probably not". No doubt the agents will be feeding plenty of misinformation to keep the clubs on their toes.
I think players have until the end of May to accept or decline any offers, so I guess "maybe" could be the answer as well. Tricky.
This time last year we'd won 8 out of 10, I don't envy the decision makers, especially as our form is on the up at the moment.

Would like to see Gavin Cooper of the Cowboys and Ethan Lowe at the Bunnies or second row in 2020 if I'm still on the right side of the grass and no nonsense Prop.

Rumours of Westerman causing discord in the camp - id lose him and Hadley personally

Mini was on an NRL downward spiral before he came to SL yet has done pretty well so i wouldnt worry about Alex Glenns longevity or quality - think he could be superb for FC

Hadley has suffered from been shuffled around and to see Hadley at his best he needs to be playing in the second row consistently.
When fit i would start Hadley with Minichello on the bench.
Just ask any Wakefield fan how good is Hadley.They would have him back in a flash if he was available

Agree would like him to have an extended run in second row.

… the problem for Hadley is he's had at least 4 head knocks in the last year, I can't see him playing again for quite a while. Hope I'm wrong.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Apr 30, 2019 4:44 pm  

Hadley could be a good player if he could stay fit !
He can’t seem to stay off the treatment table , unfortunately.

It looks like Ben McNamara is back at the club, i think he went to play Union but he is on the bench in todays Academy match v Leeds.
