Hankinson.

Seems to be some debate, is Mitch Clark one of your quota players?

He's non-fed trained because he played all his amateur/junior RL in Aus. but he was born in Pontefract.

Flower to Leigh is now confirmed.

Surprised at Clark, signed a 3 year deal on what was probably decent money (“most destructive ball runner in SL”). I was quietly optimistic after a good preseason he could contribute next year.

Maybe more an indication how highly they rate our young forwards. No point having a 28 year old taking game time off much younger players who are already as good as him.

So where does that leave us now squad wise?

Lockers - retired
J. Burgess - Salford tbc
Wells - Salford
Escare - Salford?
Navarette -
Flower - Leigh
Hankinson - ?
Clark - ?
Woods - ?

I think G.Burgess could have a major impact on either our team or recruitment depending upon what happens. With him fit, we have him, Singleton, Bullock and Clubb as senior 1st team props, with a good crop of youngesters ready to replace them. If he isnt fit / isnt going to get fit, it gives the club a challenge as he is our marquee prop / leader of the pack, but not fitting the bill. i know the club cant just get rid as he is contracted but i am sure the conversations can be had? With regards to Clubb, he is in his final contracted year, and for me would be used purely as a rotation prop to give one of the others a rest if needed during the season, thus giving the young lads much more game time as they are all up to it.

if the names above are the only ones to leave, then it doesnt impact the 1st team squad too much as only Lockers, Flower and J. Burgess have really had any 1st team game this season, and all 3 of them have had their fair share of injuries. With Batemen and Field coming in, are we likely to see any further recruitment
