A squad of 30 sounds right as it will include a few untested players like Brook and Bates.

On Ukulele I think the jury’s out. He seems to score a few tries but then again so did Karl Pryce and Tame Tupou. I guess we’ll see.

Uaisele looks decent, big strong lad, will score a lot for you if you get him the ball, looked very good for Sheffield last weekend.

Mathers has signed for London. Phew!

Hopefully Lowes can manage to keep either Luke George or Elliot Kear too, although he doesn't seem to keen on George.

Any rumours re - Henry, Purts and Blythe? would be good if we can hold on to at least 2 out of the 3.

Can't say im overly worried about Etu. I'm sure he'll be at least as good as Foster.

I'm more interested in who we'll have at scrum half? Without a quality scrum half we'll struggle. Ditto for hooker, but i'd be very surprised if we don't retain O'Brien. I can see him being our 1st choice hooker as opposed to 2nd or 3rd at another SL club, which would be refelected in the wage offer.

According to the Bulls fans facebook page Lucas Walshaw is on his way to us for next season (Wakey)

Wow the Wakey fans won't like that if it's true, very highly rated on their forum. Very large emphasis on the 'if' though, as I can't see this one happening at all.

There was some press release last week stating that Widnes are in talks with Blythe. Out of this list above, I can see both Purts and Henry staying as Purts seems to have a love for the club, and Henry is still relatively 'unknown' to the rest of clubs. There have been rumors that Henry is on his way back to AUS, but not sure if there is anything in this.

Your right there, as a fan you have to put your trust in the coach with the retention and new signing of players', but if Walshaw has gone then I am quite sure it will not go down well with a lot of Wakey fans' especially as both Moore and Mathers have both not been offered anything either.

Ainscough rumoured to be back to Bulls apparently. Info from someone involved at Whitehaven. Good news in my opinion. Tahraoui been mentioned too but I guess a lot of players will be linked to us.
