Madame Boyd on twitter now says Mulhern (aka Magnum) is asking for too much money and could be on his way out too.

I can't see us breaking the bank for a prop that cannot break 6.5m average gain.

(Dudson average gain 8.47)
(Kasiano average gain 8.36)

I can’t see any big clubs coming in for him. I don’t have a problem with him as 3rd or 4th choice prop if he can get to the standard of a good backup prop, like he was last year. But he’s got to be realistic about what he’s worth in the current climate. The top clubs have all the props they need, and he’s been out of form this year.

I really like mulhern, he's solid and consistant.....but that's it. I would not fork out loads of money for him, i would like him to stay but not if he's asking for too much. He'd likely end up at Wakefield or Salford as both need Props. I can't see teams rushing to sign him but he'd definately get signed.
If he does go we definately need 1 more prop to come in but Powell might be happy running with the 6 we'd have, depending on how well Harrison goes?

Mulhern's problem is that we already have enough props under contract for next season, at least quantity if not necessarily quality.

We started this season with Cooper, Philbin, Bullock, Mulhern, Harrison and Butler (order based on their squad numbers). Next season we have Dudson, Mikaele, Kasiano, Bullock, Philbin and Harrison already under contract. If you said that, based on this year’s squad numbers, the player’s salaries were in line with their number. i.e. Cooper was paid the most, Butler the least, then I don’t think that you’d be far off. I expect that Mulhern feels as though he’s underpaid relative to Philbin and Bullock, and he’s probably correct. It’s just that, based on this season’s performances, Philbin and Bullock wouldn’t be signed up on the same money if their contracts were up for renewal.

Mulhern was signed by Wire in a player swop deal for Lois Johnson brokered by their agent Craig Harrison.

I would guess that he will be on a much lower salary than our other props, given the circumstances of how he was signed.

Same source says Paul Vaughan is a done deal now.
