Saw something on social media that said Bowden, Johnstone, Fonua, Shaul and Sneyd are the ones identified to go.
Seen other stuff where it said Reynolds won’t be back.

I just take everything with a pinch of salt at the moment.

I'd guess those are the players that have been offered to clubs, I'd doubt they will all go, if no one takes any, I'm guessing we will have to pay them off, unless we can sack a couple for off field issues.

I'd certainly be looking at playing Hookem more regularly if we dont sign another halfback, he is a year younger than Dodd and Lewis both whom have been playing regularly in SL and not looked out of place.

There was a piece in the HDM the other day with Hodgson saying Hookem was the best player against Wakefoeld & he regrets not playing him more this season so fingers crossed.

Bradford and Batley are on Sky Sports Mix at 3 ish.

Maybe a chance to see Scurr if he is selected, he usually comes off the bench as an impact forward.

Also Kieran Buchanan will be playing for Batley.

Who will provide the money to pay players off?

Pearson, it will cost him more money in the long run if he doesnt.

I see your logic but it’s a bit of a problem if he doesn’t have the money. Going on what he’s said himself he may not have it.

Smoke and mirrors come to mind

Why? Which of Mr Pearson’s proposals are you thinking of.

The phrase "smoke and mirrors" has entered common English use to refer to any proposal that, when examined closely, proves to be an illusion.

I guess we will find out soon.
