Super League 2009 Ins and Outs

[madunit]

Has Sculthorpe been signed up yet?

 

[Evil Homer]

is there a list off all ESL players off contract for 2009?

Not seen one this year, which is unusual.

Has Sculthorpe been signed up yet?

Not yet. Originally said to be going to Salford, but they have denied any interest. Chances are he will either join Wakefield for a final pay day and to play with his brother, or retire and take up a back room position at Saints.

News of Celtic too, they are announcing their squad at an official launch night so that explains the lack of transfer activity.

The anti-tampering deadline has passed today, so we should start to see some domestic movements now.

 

[The Electric Horseman]

Lincoln Withers to join Raiders team-mate Marshall Chalk to Crusaders.

 

[Stooper]

Luke Dorn from Castleford to Harlequins - confirmed

That's not confirmation.

Scruton to Bulls and Carney to Giants confirmed today though.

I take official to be when it appears on the BBC, Superleague or the club's website

I think you'll find the link in the Scruton signing is the BB's official website. What do you want me to do? Write it in blood next time?

 

[Evil Homer]

I was on about Stooper's post. You must have submitted yours while I was still posting. To be honest, I had completely missed it until just now. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[deluded pom?]

No probs EH.

 

[Evil Homer]

Quins have announced a lot of departures and two new signings. Their squad looks really weak for next season. Ryan Hudson returns to Cas also.

 

[bartman]

They're promising two more British signings this week - they'd want to be half decent ones if they are to compete next season.

 

[Evil Homer]

Likely to be Mick Nanyn and Luke Gale.

 

[bartman]

Ah. Ok then... :lol:

 

[The Clan]

Gareth Ellis to West Tigers

 

[bartman]

He should go OK in their pack, so long as he adjusts to the change of country etc.

I predict the standard of rugby in SL in 2009 will be the lowest since the League was formed.
There are no characters, no pace and everyone is coached/programmed to react in exactly the same fashion. 5 drives and a kick, with "proper" tackling being an optional extra.
Sad but true

Ryan Esders and Scott Wheeldon to Dull KR from York and Hull respectively. Mark Calderwood from Wigan to Hull.
