Players already re-signed for the 2012 season are:
Phil Wood
John Cookson
Paul Crook
Adam Bowman
Dave Newton
Dean Gorton
Dayne Donoghue
Mark Hobson
Dale Bloomfield
Steve McDermott
Danny Ekis
Chris Hough
Steven Roper
Gary Middlehurst

Confirmed new signings up to now are:
Paul O’Conner
Anthony Stewart
Johnny Leather
Casey Mayberry

Ant thoughts guys?

[Heywood Tiger]

The new signings look impressive addittions, O'Connor and Mayberry will add some real strike to the backline, Stewart at either centre or 2nd row will add a lot of experience, not seen much of Leather.

If Ashall goes elsewhere he's going to leave a big gap as will Merville if he doesnt resign.

I thought Casey had retired from rugby?

[Pugwash]

My only reservations about Mayberry are his injury prone nature. However, Stanky knows what he is doing and what he wants and if we don't let him sign his people given budget restrictions then we will be hamstringing him.

If we get promoted we may be able to afford Ashall for another season, if not and he leaves then he goes with my thanks and admiration as he has played a blinder here for us and never takes a backward step.

Paul Crook re-signing is brilliant news as kickers like him don't grow on trees. I think the squad is taking nice shape.

How long is it until next season????

This one is far from over yet Puggy - play like we did on Sunday and I have a feeling we will go all the way

Re Casey we all know he is a match winner on his day so lets hope he can pick up were he left off for us, heard Dave Best was playing at Oldham St Annes I wonder if he fancies a game yet

To have so many players signed for next season speaks volumes for the whole of the coaching staff etc.
For to many seasons recently, we have had to start from scratch, which hasnt yielded results.
As we keep saying, their is a lot of optimism within the club and we are making steady progress each season.

I wasn't meaning that I doubt the team can go on Gavin, as you say playing like that we can beat anybody in this league.

Come on HORNETS!!!!!
