It’s all guesswork but I assume Storey to a northern Championship side.
Campo I don’t think will be picked up by a SL club so move back to Australia or France.
I suspect Bienek will have suitors but London a good fit for him. He is a key retention. I can’t think of any excuse why we haven’t got that business wrapped up.
Butler might also get interest but I think not from an SL side so another season with us would help him to get back to where he was before he left for Wolves.
I wonder if Williams might go to another Championship side. We loaned him out to Widnes which suggests we didn’t think he’d make the 17. Unfortunately he got injured within a quarter of an hour but being dropped can concentrate the mind when your club refuses to put a deal on the table until the very last minute.
Davis move to York didn’t work. He could go to another Championship side but I’d guess not. If we lost him that would be a totally avoidable mistake.
Adebiyi might go. He went on a jaunt around quite a few northern clubs before returning. Again a mistake by us if we lost him.
Lovell I think will stay.
Tyson I assume will go to TO- everybody seems to.
Basset I think could go to any Championship or Elite 1 club but Aussie in London with good side job- that seemed the ideal Situation to be in.
The rest I think stay.

Just watched this Eccles post match interview on you tube. I tell you he’s not talking us up for next year it sounds a bit existential. Could all be brinkmanship but if we take at face value that we go down not hull come what may, and they be right to sue if goalposts moved at this stage, then unless they decide to make it a 13 club SL-and rugby league is anything but fleet footed when it comes to change then I fear we are heading for another half ars** season in the Championship where half the season goes by before we get a few in and achieve some kind of reasonable standard. This all seems grim. The ‘tell’ is if more players get picked off by Championship sides. There really is no excuse for that and suggests we have given up.

agreed. there's no reason why we should be getting outbid/ out-organised by other Championship/ French league sides. Can't see why we can't at least offer optional contracts, dependent on which league we'll be in to keep those who want to stay. You look at the team after we score or win and they look so together- amazing when you think of how much we've lost- and that must make them want to stay if it is made financially viable for them.

Agree with you both, which only leaves the one big question, what bonkers plan is Hughes working to if there is one?

The tenor of the interview did make wonder whether we are in a ‘I think we should be in SL. It’s not fair I’m off’ scenario. That would be unfortunate.

It does sound a bit like that. But, if you go back to old boy Sylvan's Sky interview of a couple of months ago, he makes the point that Toulouse can't generate sponsorship, tv deals, money or grow fans in the Championship but can in SL. I would venture the same is true for London or indeed any new non heartland club.

Just reading what Mike Eccles said to Total Rugby League. "At this time we are not retaining nor recruiting for next year".
I find that a bit concerning , to say the very least.

The very best that can be said of this approach is that is a recipe for disaster. Let’s say the IMG/SL clubs persuaded by our arguments allow us to remain in SL. We have no squad. That means we come last. As it stands only those players whose alternative to waiting and seeing is leaving the game will be left when we finally decide what to do. I have to say I’ve no desire to see the youth team play in 1st team shirts whether it’s against SL sides or Championship ones. This is bizarre.

Yes very bizarre, but if that situation arose, I would expect Hughes to fill the gaps in the squad or completely new squad from the Southern Hemisphere. We've been called a team of Aussies even when we weren't particularly so why not? As any of the old timers will tell you, it was fun going to watch Fulham wondering who was the latest Aussie or Kiwi kipping on Roy & Barbara Close's living room floor.

Maybe Brisbane will buy us again!
