ooc players : Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:52 am  

We have alot of players coming off contract this year

Who should we be signing up (especially with widnes looking to buy lots of sl players)

Dixon- give him a two year deal very underated player
orr- another year if he can keep this up, would like us to bring in another hb so we can have danny in reserve like wigan have deacon, and pay him to coach the kids
Jackson- another year
ferres- 2 years before someone else comes calling
jones- with holmes, davies and harris coming through i feel we should keep one of aspinwall and jones not sure who yet.
isa - 2 year deal, think he could be a star for us in the future
fozzard -keep him on to coach the forwards and give him a pay as you play deal for when we run short
aspinwall- see jones
massey- release
thompson - 2 year deal, think he will improve alot when he settles down to one position and we would regret losing him if he left
widders- retiring i believe, we will miss him.

I just posted this list on casforum.

Hard to say who will earn a contract from those. Orr, Fozzard and Widders may get another year depending on how they go. It's hard to see how Massey and Thompson will earn another contract at the moment. I reckon Dixon, Ferres and Isa will get new 2 year deals. Jackson, Jones and Aspinwall have been playing well so I guess it will be a case of seeing how they go.

Would mind taking ratchford from salford, excellent at half back decent kicking game aswell. Out of contract at end of season and highly unlikely to sign another contract with salford with the way there heading.

Depends on terms and who we have coming through the youth ranks.

Re: ooc players : Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:22 pm  

Brierly was supposed to be the next big thing but havent heard to much about him this season, then theres ben johnston i think his name is.. saw the highlights of the 20's at bradford he looked quite sharp but not sure if hes ready for next season or the season after.

If we want to keep pushing to be the best we need to be bringing in the best young talent and ratchford is one of the best about imo.

Re: ooc players : Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:23 pm  

Dixon - 2 years
Orr - 1 year
Jackson - Release
Ferres - release, over rated imo makes a lot of silly errors and seems to not like passing the ball
Jones - release, penalty machine
Isa - 3 years (if he wants to stay) will be a star
Fozzard - retire
Aspinwall - release
Massey - release
Thompson - release, isn't even playing well for York and there's better players in the u20's

Then sign 2 top quality NRL players and a couple of English players and promote a couple more from within again.

Gaslight - one word QUOTA!

Chase, Isa, Youngquest + 2 new players

McGoldrick can go for me, year left on his contract and coming off an injury (plus the big contract & quota space). Jobs a good 'un then

Anybody got a list of English players coming off contract? Wouldn't mind putting in a cheeky bid for both Widdop and Ratchford - both coming off contract and can play pretty much anywhere in the backs.

EDIT:

Scratch that, forgot about Widders, give him one more year, think he will take that and just get 1 top quality NRL signing, someone like big Keith Galloway from Wests.

Re: ooc players : Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:32 pm  

FWIW, if I was going on impulse and had to make a judgement now:

Dixon, Ferres -2 years
Orr/Fozzard/Widders/Thompson - 1 year
Isa - Will reserve judgement.
Massey - release
Jones/Aspinwall/Jackson - Reserve judgement + see who is available.

Agree with dixon and orr.
Jackson if he keeps this form up deserves another year as he has been immense so far this season.
Ferres 1 more year but play him in pack in his usual position to get best out of him, He is still relatively young.
Jones is a tackling machine so will give more penaltys away than most players as hes doing twice as many tackle most games.
Isa - need to see more but looks promising
Fozzard - could maybe get another year out of him if he keeps fit this season
Aspinwall - started slowest out of all new recruits but is improving each game
Massey and Thompson to be given a fair crack at first team before we just let them go to come back and haunt us.
