Was something in League Express saying that extensions would be announced soon. I suppose the one issue is that if we miss the middle 8's the funding gap made up by David Hughes becomes greater.

Apia think will leave, he almost did at the end of last season. This is a shame, but if he does leave need to sign a creative stand-off/centre, otherwise everything falls on Sammutt. Hope he stays!

Agree with all the rest

Pewhairangi has congratulated Eddie Battye (via social media) on his new '2 year deal'.

No news of this from the club as of yet

Id take that as good news. a) a good player and b) I cant imagine he would be staying with us as part time.

The miserable sod in me is starting to cheer up (only a little of course)

Happy to see ted stay with us, closest thing we have to a mongrel in the pack. Costs us a few penalties but hits hard

Battye is having a great season. putting in long minutes, some nice passing too

4 Contract extensions announced

Sam Davis - 3 years
Jacob Ogden, Rob Butler & Sadiq Adebiyi - 2 years

Interesting - full-time contracts? Does this mean DH is committing for longer?

Good to get a few of the young 'uns signed up - before Hendo nicks them!

Full time contracts means exactly that, all it means is th3 funding for full time squad is coming from somewhere
