It’s all changed.

12 years was half pension, 22 full.

Now you don’t get anything till 55.

Bureta likes it here so I’d expect him to stay if offered a new deal.
Won’t be on huge money I’d imagine, so probably offers good value

Considering Naulago has only played a handful of RL games and not played anywhere near top level RU it's remarkable how well he's adjusted. With more games under his belt and a full pre-season he could be a very good player. It also begs the question how many other gems are out there playing lower grade RU who could make it in RL. With the small talent pool in RL maybe more clubs should be following our lead. Well done Radford.

Washbrook - Brown
Miloudi - Wynne

Just younger, better replacements needed in the forwards. Be happy with Jones, Glenn or Thompson and Evans plus one other. Depending what happens with ellis and Westerman we may need another middle too.

Indeed, our greatest winger “Sully” now he was class.

Kevin James, Taffy, Walters, Marlowe, Pearce, think Carney as well
all had a background in Union, it used to be a regular hunting ground for rl scouts.

Naulago looks the business, doesn’t seem fazed in defence, and looks a threat in attack. As Radders said he will get even better.

On the assumption Faraimo and Naulago are kept I don't think we need another winger. We have Dawson in reserve and maybe even Shaul if Connor is first choice FB.

Huddersfield fans rate Mellor but think he'll stay.

I know Alex Mellors girlfriend is a Hull girl, and their family are black and white fanatics. We shall see.

Carney had a background in Gaelic Football. Only played RU later on in his career.

adam swift according to the wail. hope he's cheap as he's garbage (and yes I know he scored a hat trick against us but that's hardly any guarantee of quality)
