2. Scott Donald (2010) - Returning home IMO due to resigning of Lee Smith.
4. Keith Senior (2010) - already signed a new deal with us for another season, not annouced as of yet
9. Danny Buderus (2010) - will be returning home IMO replaced in FT squad by McShane.
12. Ali Lauitiiti (2010) - Game breaker and despite his leg worries if fit enough i would give him another season.
14. Matt Diskin (2010) - needs to be retained.
16. Ryan Bailey (2010) - heard links to Castleford once again, if true I would hope that we would look at LMS from Quins to replace him.
24. Luke Ambler (2010) - will be kept hold of, as he is a good quality youngster, just needs to lose the gut.
Simon Worrall (Toulouse Loan) (2010) - will be let go IMO

Would rather see us retain Buderus another year to help transition McShane into the full time 9 role and just let Diskin have his chance to 'star' at another SL team instead.

And sign LMS? No thanks...

- Catalans Dragons
- Crusaders Rugby League
- Hull Kingston Rovers
- Salford City Reds

Re: Players that are out of contract : Thu Apr 29, 2010 1:04 pm  

I expect Fozzard, Gidley and Cunningham to all leave, probably the two loaned out players aswell, leaving the other four playing for contracts. Hargreaves should be kept on, Fa'asavalu probably will too as we are already short on forwards without releasing these two. Meli and Flannery are both decent players but I'd prefer to replace these from within and pick up another top forward.

Just seen LMS is available. I reckon there'll be a few clubs after him.

At least 3 of that team are likely to retire at the end of this season (Deacon,Cunningham & Menzies) and Wellens and Senior can't be too far off doing either. You'd have to have a fantastic set of youngsters coming through in 2012 to fill all the holes in that squad even if all 17 were playing next year.

Wheeldon

How's he gto on for you since you signed him? He always impressed me when I saw him at FC (especially given his age), but I haven't heard much about him since he moved and can't recall seeing much of him.

Average, not big enough, had a great first season at Hull, not done much since.
