Player Retention : Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:23 am  

So the rumour mill is rife and some of our players are allegedly gathering interest from other clubs.

If Super League is achieved which players would you keep. Here is my list below;

Adam Quinlan - Yes
Ben Cockayne - No
Thomas Minns - Yes
Liam Salter - No
Ryan Shawe - No
Jamie Ellis - No
Nick Scruton - Yes
Shaun Lunt - Yes
Chris Clarkson - Yes
Maurice Blair - Yes
James Greenwood - No
Danny Addy - Yes
Graeme Horne - No
James Donaldson - Yes
Jordan Abdul - Undecided
Mitch Clark - Yes
Zach Dockar Clay - Undecided
George Lawler - Yes
Matty Marsh - Undecided
Rob Mulhern - Yes
Andrew Heffernan - Yes
George Milton - No
Joe Wardill - Yes
Will Jubb - Yes
Will Oakes - Yes
Liam Harris - Yes
Jake Butler Flemming - No
Joe Cator - Yes
Dave Hodgson - No
Kieren Moss - No
Ben Kavanagh - Yes
Brad Clavering - Undecided
Josh Johnson - No
Justin Carney - Yes
Lee Jewitt - Yes
Kieran Moran - No

May seem harsh on some but that leaves us room to strengthen & get the right pedigree of player in for a SL season.

Thoughts???

Think some are a bit harsh correct, but all opinions of course.

Different to your list i would have

ZDC - Yes ( think with a run he will prove an excellent signing - its a shame he has lunt in front of him who we depend on so much)

Abdul - Yes ( our best player this year )

Greenwood - Yes ( proven SL quality, had a stinker this year though. Can only get better)

Johnson - Yes - ( as a 5th prop mind with clark, scruton, jewitt and A.n other)

Also

Kavangah - No

Clarkson - No

Moss - Undecided ( he has what money can't buy, Pace! and clearly more heart then previous wingers caro dixon etc. Him & Oakes would be reliable back ups to carney and a new signing)

If the league gets expanded it will cut down the number of players available for you to sign so maybe wholesale changes won't be an option, particularly as your non fed spots are pretty full

Re: Player Retention : Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:40 pm  

Some are already gone...you have more than a couple right...and need a spot for Atkin.

And that squad would certainly see us in the middle 8's yet again either way.

I feel tim seems to know who he wants and not want to kept he is a realist and knows some of he current group will not make the grade if we are promoted. He has even stated we would have to recruit heavily. But it is all if n butts. But we do need a few signings to get us promoted

Re: Player Retention : Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:43 pm  

Doh read the post again I said if we go up to super league he will need to strengthen

Exactly. I think we should keep the lot as i think we will still be in the championship next year.

I hope you are wrong I think we should all

All we can do is play to the best of our ability in the 8s. It's pointless worrying about it. At least we're trying to go up instead of slip down. It should be seen as a positive instead of a negative.
