Dion is worth every penny, im sure even haven fans will agree JJP has been past it for at least 12 months and probably a lot more

If Newton has left i will be gutted to be honest, he has the best scoot we have had from hooker since matty retired and his kicking game from open play is better than anything our halves offer. We need to build a team around locals but we wont get a better back up 9 than newts so it will either be a traveller or a massive gamble from the amateurs

Excellent news! Carl definitely seemed to have a more creative edge to his game last season, possibly from working with Leon or maybe from having a good run alongside Doran

Toronto and Toulouse to miss out?

The season we got relegated from the championship Brett was unplayable, he ran quick and hard, his lines were unpredictable and he was solid in defence His last season with town i wouldn't say he looked uninterested but there was a spark missing from his game. I hope for his sake he rediscoveres whatever was missing even if its with whitehaven

Maybe the best solution for the rfl would be to relegate Leigh to league 1 but not promote anyone seen as we are down to 11 teams this season?

Wow fantastic signing! I hoped we could get Tyllar on loan again but to sign him is fanrastic business. Was excellent for us every game last season and is only going to get better

Dont haven have tilley and callum who are hookers, with Dan Abram still to decide if hes staying? I really hope we keep Newts, especially if we find a way to get bigger minutes out of both him and Penky

Its easy to forget Sam was voted our most improved player this season so despite his injuries he cant have had too bad a season! I think its a shame he has chose to leave whatever his reasons and will be happy to have him back in future if things donr work out at haven.

Yeah ive heard the same from a haven supporting mate. Shame as i would have liked Callum back to play 7 but at least its another rumour put to bed for another 12 months

Fantastic news, especially as he was rumoured to be having talks with Haven. Glad to get him signed up and even better that its for 2 years as well

Yes but if forster has matched his haven money he will be accounting for over half of that

I do like the idea of this in theory to make the world club challenge more or a world challenge than just England v Australia, however i think it is a few years too early for this. If Catalans build on their CC win and Toulouse and Toronto make it to super league (and hold their own there) this could definitely become a reality in 4 or 5 years though.

I think that is harsh to be honest, callum has this reputation as a trouble maker because he fell out with Dave Clark, which didnt seem that hard to do really. From turning pro with us from seaton he was a model pro and gave his all for more than one head coach at town and definitely seems to have behaved himself at whitehaven, just because his time with us ended on a sour note his 'bad apple' tag is unjustified to me. I would be over the moon if we managed to get him back, especially if we played him in the halves with Doran, that would be the best 6 and 7 in our league and probably the league above too.

It would be nice to get both Brett and Callum back but unfortunately i cant see either of them playing for us again
