Cas have confirmed that Holmes and Mata’utia have both opted not to renew their contracts.

I’d imagine Holmes to Warrington and Mata’utia to link up with his brother at Saints but would take either of them!

No chance Mata’utia ends up at Saints, unless they are after a new water boy, he just isn`t the calibre of player they go for, unless they are desperate which I don`t think they are.

You never know. Heard that Naiqama maybe leaving at the end of this season, and I don’t think anyone expected LMS to end up there either.

No but LMS came as a project.
Replacing the starting centre at Saints is never a project.

They'll either promote a rising star from within or go big from Oz.

Holmes & Mata’utia are both following Powell to Warrington.

To be honest vaste from what I’ve seen so far of both brother I’d say Peter is the better player out of the pair of them .Sione to be fair looks to be more of a sub than a starter ,so doesn’t get as much game time .

It’s all quiet on targets at the moment but here’s one maybe worth a look.

Adam Lawton - big second rower at Widnes. Scoring some try’s and is in his prime years. Can play SR and prop.

Probably wouldn’t break the bank but he’s 6ft 6 and seems to be hitting some form.

The new Wayne McDonald ???

That's a name from the past, FIL. A big lad (6ft 7in), but never quite made it at Trin. According to Wikipedia the tallest player ever to play rugby league. I thought that he payed a lot more than 27 games for us.

He’s played some SL before but he’s hitting his best years and the highlights look impressive this season. He seems to have an offload in him too.

I’m not saying he will be a superstar but he could certainly be worth a chance on his current form. He’s only signed a 1 yr deal at Widnes. Probably one of the best forward options in the championship.

I would suggest we sort out our out of contract players first because they are currently free to talk to other clubs.
