List of off contract SL players - anyone we should chase? : Tue May 26, 2009 10:33 pm  

Copy and pasted from the other forums that have squad lists (like the one at the top of this page) of all the players off contract at the end of the year. Some may be out dated but this is what I got (Cas, Catalan, Celtic, Huddersfield, Salford and Wakefield don't have lists):

Paul Sykes
Semi Tadulala
Ben Jeffries
Terry Newton
Andy Lynch
Steve Menzies
Glenn Morrison
Matt Cook
Dave Halley
Matt James
David Solomona
James Donaldson
Duane Straugheir
Danny Orr
Gareth Haggerty
Daniel Heckenberg
Danny Ward
Motu Tony
Chris Thorman
Peter Cusack
Richard Whiting
Graeme Horne
Jamie Thackray
Thomas Lee
Sam Moa
Daniel Fitzhenry
Chaz I'Anson
Makali Aizue
Jason Netherton
Rhys Lovegrove
Ryan Esders
Stanley Gene
Jason Cayless
Matt Gidley
Lee Gilmour
Keiron Cunningham
Sean Long
shaun Ainscough
George Carmont
Phill Bailey
Mark Flanagan
Cameron Phelps
Tim Smith
Andy Coley
Karl Pryce

Our OOC players; Paul Johnson, Paul Rauhihi, Lee Briers, Vinnie Anderson, Steve Pickersgill, Mike Cooper, Chris Bridge.

I am not going to speculate on which of our off contract players we will re-sign but if Rauhihi does retire, Lynch wouldn't be a bad replacement. I also hope if we intend to keep Bridge we sort a deal out fast as I can see him getting a bit of interest.

Any names that stick out to you?

Only ones i would be happy with. However a fully fit, in form Monaghan would be better than Orr and we have a very good fullback anyway.

Only 2 names on that list would appeal to me, Matt Gidley and Lee Gilmour but both are 31 at the min, Matt Gidley is 32 in July. I`m not a fan of us signing players in the over 30`s club, nothing else appeals on the list.

We need a stand off, scrum half, hooker, prop, a ball playing second rower of the highest order and possibly a loose forward as Vinnie Anderson is too inconsistent and injury prone, the likes Ben Harrison and Matty Blythe arn`t quite ready yet for such a key position.

Stanley Gene
we could get another 10 years out of him

Andy Lynch would be a good signing.

Sean Long - shoe in

You want us to sign a third hooker?

You can never have too many hookers!

I know he's a dirty sod but what about Jamie Thackray to replace The Mighty Rah, absolutely battered us in the first half against hull
