OOC : Sun May 01, 2022 4:43 pm  

Leroy Cudjoe, Jack Ashworth, Jack Cogger, Adam O’Brien, Ashton Golding, Oliver Russell, Joe Greenwood, Chester Butler, Sam Hewitt, Nathan Mason, Jon Luke Kirby, George Roby,, Louis Senior, Kenny Edwards (currently on loan at Castleford), Chris McQueen, Ricky Leutele, Sebastine Ikahihifo

The above are all OOC and all can, as of today be approached by other clubs. (Unless of course a deal has been done we don’t yet know about- which may be the case)

Which of these would we like to see stay?
For me definitely, McQueen, leutele greenwood and Seb. Russell also probably.
I think Leroy is also worth another year on this years showing as cover. Ashton has proven to be very useful being able to cover a range of positions, and seems to be fully committed to the Watson way of working so I would also like him to stay.
Hewitt hasn’t let anyone down but his chances have been limited. But home grown.
JLK has been VERY unlucky with injuries, not sure whether he’s had the opportunity to prove what he can do but from what he showed as a youngster then he promised much and we should keep our home grown players where possible.

I think with the rise of pryce (if he stays) cogger is surplus to requirements and AOB just doesn’t seem to be able to stay on the field without a head knock! We have seen what a player like Levi can achieve in that position. I wouldn’t want kenny back if HE paid US.

Agree with most of your assessment, would def look to lose Cogger, waste of an overseas spot and is third in the pecking order, i would like to see us sign a half that really takes the line on and has pace. Always liked O'Brien but no point keeping him if he's not playing. Cudjoe would depend on salary, needs to be very low, he is only cover now, Butler needs to be shown the door, unlucky with injury or not he is not going to make it now at his age. I had hopes for Hewitt but he hasn't kicked on, would say the same for Mason. Louis senior i would move on. I know this isn't popular but i dont think Innes shows enough in attack for a top superleague side either but is the better of the twins and is very safe.

Russell has signed now hasn't he? Greenwood, Leutele and Seb u would def keep, McQueen would depend on Salary he's been great but isn't getting any younger.

Roby and Ashworth need to show what they can do before the end of the year, Ashworth has potential but has made too many mistakes last couple of games and Roby is unknown quantity.

Can'r believe Ollie Roberts isn't out of contract yet, the absolute epitome of get a fat contract and do knack all for the next 5 years. He was great at the world cup for Ireland and has been absolute useless lump ever since, stealing a wage!

Yes you are right about Russell I’d forgotten he had resigned! What I’ve seen of ashworth I’ve not been over impressed, a big unit but just far too many errors. He’s not a kid and should be playing his best stuff at the age he is now. Perhaps he’s over trying as he knows his contract is up.
Keep hearing all this good stuff about roby but you’d have to think he would have got a chance by now. But if we don’t keep AOB we defo need a couple of hookers. I have liked hewitt when he’s played, he may not be a current first choice but the sort of player it’s good to have as cover, home grown, will give his all, low error count, solid and dependable.

Roberts to Newcastle, on big money apparently!

Re: OOC : Mon May 02, 2022 8:25 am  

Roby has signed for another year.

Would like to see this lad get a chance to show what he can do. I thought he might get a run out against wakey TBH when Goulding was at FB.

Re: OOC : Mon May 02, 2022 8:35 pm  

For me definitely keep Leutele, McQueen, Ikahihifo, Greenwood, Golding. I like Hewitt and think there is a player in Ashworth if it can be brought out. We have reserve side to run as well so someone like Cudjoe could be a big help in bringing younger players through. Roberts going would be no great loss, has done nothing to warrant a place that I can see.

Agree with the above, Leroy has earnt another year, his defence has improved under Watson and hes an immense ball carrier

Re: OOC : Mon May 23, 2022 2:52 pm  

Confirmed Edwards & Roberts are definitely leaving. No real surprise. No decision yet regarding Chester Butler, Jack Cogger, Leroy Cudjoe, Jon-Luke Kirby, Chris McQueen, Ronan Michael, Louis Senior & Robson Stevens. They are our only players on the RFL off contract list.
