I may be wrong but I thought if you declare a player to be marquee then whatever their salary they only impact £100,000 against the overall cap.

I'd hate to be a Hull fan right now. Looks like it's open season - not much thought into strength of character or team dynamics. I suppose you could argue it'll be better than winning two or three games all season though.

Submitting this updated list here again as hopefully it's useful. British or French off-contract established SL players, as Matt Ellis mentioned. McMeeken over the line, Russell and Johnstone obviously very close. Storton and Scott rumoured. So who are the other three we've tabled offers for?

Since I last posted Gaz O'Brien, Charnley, Hardaker, Sneyd, Dodd, Bennison, Hewitt, Holmes, Brown, Aydin and Partington had all signed elsewhere. So that leaves:

Full backs: Ryan Hampshire
Wingers: Fouad Yaha, Matty Russell
Centres: Mathieu Laguerre, Cameron Scott, Ben Hellewell, Ben Davies
Halves: Danny Richardson, Jordan Abdull
Hookers: Adam Milner, Amir Borouh
Back rowers: Alex Mellor, James Donaldson, Jack Hughes, Matty Storton
Middles: Joe Cator, Matt Davis, Adam Sidlow, Andrew Dixon, Gil Dudson, Mike Cooper

I'd sooner keep our middle as-is than bring in anyone from that list for next season. Still think Mellor could add something. We obviously need a winger to provide cover - but is Matty Russell the answer? The one I'm most keen on is Abdull, obviously. If we could get him paired and firing with Lino/Lawford we'd trouble most SL teams.

I've always liked Hughes, he might be an option to look at considering Ashurst and Griffin are not likely to be here next year

Abdul would make us some team.
Also Hughes would be good
Like Cator but he seem to get injured a lot
Laguerre probably better of the centres

Discounted possible already signed but would really push for Abdul

I'd definitely keep Griffin, he's been great this season.

Not so sure. He’ll be 35 and while he’s been great at championship level I’m not sure. I’m not sure if any of our second rowers will be stepping back up to SL. The list other than Storton doesn’t look inspiring though.
