Bowden had an upgrade Green too Hadley as well Mini signed a new deal Also in the not to distant future before tying up monies Houghton and Watts need new deals . That will require upgrading

No other player to use this on until Houghton in 2018
Houghton counts from next year, I believe, which is his 11th Super League campaign. He made four substitute appearances in 2007. Debut was against Harlequins, also in the team that day were Yeaman, Washbrook (starting hooker), Radford, Richard Horne and Motu Tony.
Backloaded contracts I suspect will come into play in why we won't be signing anyone else as well as the others mentioned. As for kirk, he's being a very good servent to the club, probably one of the best one on one tacklers in the backs since Richie Barnett and it was this that enabled him to come back into the fore this season after too many lacklustre seasons. Well done to him for finishing on a high. We now need to ensure that our centres are up to scratch, this is why I have reservations about Fonua at centre, I think we would benefit more with him on the wing and reduce the defensive load on him. Similarly Griffin might well be punchier than Yeaman in attack but can he cut it in defence?
