If we are looking to keep Turner in the centres then I'd want to offload Yeaman when his contract is up, get a quality centre who can put his man away to either aid our new winger if Tom goes or indeed to make sure he (briscoe) gets a decent service.
Moa to stay O'Meley to go, think he's going to be an injury liability tbh and he would likely want a 2 year deal would he not?
Martin will be released I feel and Horne given a 1 year with more & more emphasis on Ellis taking the 6 spot.

Manu, O'Meley, Aspinwall, Martin, Lyne, Turner, Burnett and Moa all to leave I've heard. As well as Tom Briscoe to NRL. Rumour is Manu is waiting for a NRL club, or a top SL club to come in, Turner is leaving because of McRae's influence. He didn't rate him and sold him to us when he was at Salford remember. O'Meley misses home as well as Moa! Lyne, Burnett and Martin ain't good enough. Be happy for us to recruit a top centre, crooks as back up. Rumours i have heard so dont shoot the messanger!! Hope they are not true as I hope we keep Turner and Manu. All the rest mentioned other than Moa and O'Meley won't be huge losses.

Really?

You think they've all been told already then?

Adam Pearsons reaction to my congratultions on the signing of Gareth Ellis was "You ain't seen nothing yet"
Got me a bit excited to say the least. Gotta trust that the dream team will release and recruit the right players for the team, even if they upset a few fans along the way.

you know something tells me that given the recent huge signings we have made that we may loose the likes of Moa and Ogre and maybe Manu to make a big lump of cap available but then all will be forgotten as we blast everyone away with another YOWGE signing like ellis yet again that leaves the rest of SL gasping ........
it feels all a little Sterling, kemble Ohara ish again in the way we are looking at guys who are buying into the vision we clearly now have at the KC
great innit

What huge signings?

New user name, same crap

I'm a bit surprised at how negatively the Arundel rumour is being received by some. From what I've seen he's shown potential in an at times struggling side IMO, is still only young, and I would have thought he'd be on a relatively low wage.

I treally don't see any of crookes, pitts or arundel being "future internationals" (although I realise arundel is in the knights squad)

Both in the bag if you believe the rumour. I like Arundel, Crookes i've not seen enough of, pace to burn though.

Really hope we're not looking at Jason Crookes, he isn't anything what alot of people make him out to be.
