Interestingly, been told that club have told about 10 players they can leave if they find clubs.

Drinkwater, Fensom, Oniell, Feldt and Crosby all rumoured for 2019 in today’s League Weekly.

Bodene Thompson rumoured in League Express.

The League Weekly rumours have just been taken from on here.

I hope the league express rumour is wrong

If the rumoured ten players is true then I would think that includes players already confirmed. Hall, Delaney, Moon, Keinhorst. Then maybe Mullally, JJB, Walters, Lilley, Ormondroyd, Thompson. Then with Jordan-Roberts and Galloway already gone, thatd be at least 12 new squad numbers for 2019.

If we sign a centre I can't see how/why we'd want to keep all of Golding, L.Briscoe, Handley or Sutcliffe for next season. Newman has had far fewer chances and deserves a go before most of them. If they are contracted we need to start sending all these surplus players out on season loans to the lower leagues.

Don't beleive for one second we will be in for all of Drinkwater, Fensom, O'neil,Feldt and Bodene Thompson as we won't have enough Quota and NFT spots for them all with Lolohea,Cuthbertson, Parcell,Garbutt,Peteru all at the club already and can't see any of them leaving next season, plus All those rumoured signings would make us way over salary cap. Can see us Signing Fensom and one other Aussie or Kiwi player for next year.

I think it'll be Fensom + O'Neil. Other signings will have to come from elsewhere as our spots will be full

Tom Spencer from the London Broncos would be a great shout, he looked decent yesterday and meters after contact were strong.

With Toronto not making SL, there's a couple of players signed up for next year with them that I'd be throwing a SL opportunity to.
1 is Darcy Lussick - he's not brilliant, but he's better than Mullally, Crosby, Ormandroyd etc, would be our next best prop after Garbutt and hopefully free up Cuthbk to play the game he plays best.
The other is Ricky Leutele, the Premiership winning centre from Cronulla. Is great defensively, does hard yards well and is dangerous ball in hand. Will go great over here and is wasted in the tier below. Could also then try and tempt his Cronulla wing partner over, Feki. He's very similar in style to Hall. They'd be a lethal combo over here. Feki has 1 year left at sharks, but was given permission to look elsewhere mid-season.

I was disappointed we didn`t sign Lussick when he was leaving the NRL but not that impressed from what I have seen of him in the middle 8`s.
Spencer was very good as was the other prop #10 for London.
Even Battye who I have admired for a while is better than a lot of players we have in our pack.
Sammut despite his age showed what a good half back can do.
Walker at FB was very good but what do I know I thought Golding was better than Jack Walker!!
Not sure I would want any of the Toronto players.

I hope London keep their better players they will need them
