Shame for the kid.

However it gives us some room to make another signing if required.

I was actually looking forward to seeing how he went for us, shame but onward and upwards.

Squad disruption already. Excellent.

Who are the 5 props Ferres states as us still having?

Sidlow
Davies
Tahraoui
Fleming
Bates?

If he's genuinely counting Bates as part of the 5 then we're short of another prop in my opinion. Bates isn't ready for the 1st team yet.

Clough.

I'm certainly disappointed by this, ever since the original article mentioned "subject to visa" - which no other has - I've been nervous about his arrival.. or lack of.

Anyway, I hope we find a suitable replacement or he regains his fitness and does join us as the article hints at as an option.

However, we have a wage gap, and a quota and non-fed spot... should we look to sign another halfback?

Sods law says we'll sign Carvell. But at least Offerdahl wasn't another Danny Sculthorpe or even Ben Evans missing a lot of the early season.

Shame but better it happens now than just before season starts. We could have been paying him through pre-season and then losing him when players aren't available like happened with Carvell last year. We've still five props on board, six if we count bates. Plus we have a full quota ( overseas + non fed trained) available at a time when players are still available.

It is good he was open about it as this does give us a free spot and wage. Good idea about leaving it for a few months and see if we need a certain position covering. Gives us some flexibility but I too was looking forward to seeing him after he was described as someone who was tireless and wanted big minutes just like Fielden used to do. Shame but better knowing now - not a disaster!

Starting to think I'm jinxed. Paid for seaso tickets last year and OK stepped down following day. Paid this afternoon for this years and Offerdahls contract cancelled an hour later



Think I better pay on gate 2016 season

Well, we have the squad depth to cope with this. We've got Addy and Ferguson who could both fill in at prop too so it's not a massive blow.

However, I'm disappointed that we don't get to see him pull on the shirt. But on the flip side we now have some space on both the salary cap and overseas quota which is always a useful thing to have as we may need a player in a different position at some point down the road

I think Pitts, Mellor or *sigh* even Walker should fill in at prop ahead of Addy.

... Fui Fui Moi Moi?!

(even though he's rumoured to be heading to SL)
