Didn't McDonnell sign for next season already? I'm sure he joined on an deal to take him to the end of the 2016 season.

You are so right. He would only come if 2016 was included in the deal.

Haggerty is rumoured to have failed to make the grade as well.

Why am I not surprised ?

Also hoping we sign a new centre to finish off our squad for next year, but with what we currently have I'd guess our top 25 something like:

1. Lomax
2. Makinson
3. Turner
4. Percival
5. Swift
6. Burns
7. Walsh
8. Walmsley
9. Roby
10. Amor
11. Vea
12. Wilkin
13. LMS
14. Tasi
15. Peyroux
16. Fages
17. Savelio
18. Greenwood
19. Richards
20. Thompson
21. McDonnell
22. Dawson
23. Charnock
24. Knowles
25. Davies

21 Dawson.
22. Peyroux
23. Flemming
24. Charnock
25. Ashworth

No point upsetting a player because of a squad number. Percy gets Jones 4 and Walmsley gets Moses 8.

The rest don't have any significance, it will be interesting how high the numbers go up to at the start of the season. We have a pretty big squad next year!

I'm a new poster to the site. It's interesting to see thoughts on our squad composition for 2016.One young player that we saw very little of last year ( I think just the one game v Hull where the whole side were below par ) was Jack Ashworth.Watching him in the under 19's in 2013 & 2014 he was outstanding and very consistent. If we can get him to recapture the form he showed then he could solve our lack of another quality centre.

Don't encourage him!

As a point though Ashworths name wasn't among the many many kids announced with new contracts - is he still at the club?

He got a 3 year deal last year, so didn't need a new deal. Maybe Jack's Dad is right, maybe he's quite good if he got a three year deal so young without making an impact on the first team?

I expect the reserves team to be able to answer that question, but I thought he was seen more as a second row?
