What has happened to your new NRL Signings for 2010 : Thu Nov 12, 2009 5:39 am  

Just wondering if your new signings contract became null and voild becuase of the company collapse or are they still coming?
Will any of your squad from this season be playing for you in 2010?
Very sad to see this happen.

The whined up order of the old holding company has made all contracts null and void. Meaning all the squad are now free agents. The NRL signings are now also free agents, very much doubt they will be coming to Gateshead now.

Braninghan to Fax
Nash to Fax
Henderson to Barrow
Youngquest to Celtic

Many other to come I reckon

Parker and Dack have signed new contracts to stay on so far.

Kevin Neighbour has also singed, along with Rhys Clarke. Seems we may yet keep some of this seasons squad.

Romours to also stay are:
Peers
Cakacaka Fou

but as said the above are just romours!!!

Barron and Mathews are now also confirmed http://www.thunderrugby.com/news_article.php?id=269 Looks like we could have a decent team for next season.

Nope, his contract was terminated along with all the others. He ain't signed up for the 2010 season but not sure where he is off to now.

its seems it going bad to worse up there.

Not really. We have signed around 12/14 players back from last season. So we will have a very competitive season next year. I doubt we will win but with the squad we have I reckon we should reach the play off's are maybe just miss them.

The set up that is now here is prob the best we have had since the club started. Its very doubtful we will become the "whipping boys" that everyone is reckoning.
