Haha go on humour me as to why the club should consider this? inlight of benny's performance this year he has earnt the new deal.

haha, i didn't say to do so, just with someone mentioning it, i wondered it as a possiblity.

I heard a rumour going around Leigh a couple of weeks ago that Cooper was on his way home to Warrington and Hill was on his way to NRL.....seems it may be true.

Looks like a solid pack for next year,



Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Hughes, Westerman still first choice.



Cooper, Dwyer, Dodds, Laithwiate, Julien, Westwood a strong back up.



Bailey, Cox, Philbin, Wilde, B Evans, Harrison all in the mix fighting for places in the squad next year. Can't see all of them staying, but strong starting point.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Jordan Cox.

On a 1 year deal...... looks effective when he is on but doesn't play many minutes.



Personally I'd like to see him get a new deal....... any player that takes the ball in without any concern for his own safety has my backing.

Dodds is omly on a 1 year deal although i hope he wants another year.

Presuming we can keep them all out of the NRL...



Hill 28

Clark 23

Cooper 27

Currie 21

Hughes 24

Westerman 26



All British, all either internationals or potential future internationals. This pack potentially could be together for a long time.

Absolutely made up that cooper is coming back, I am sure that will mean that there will be a few being released to accommodate him though. Wheeler (surely), Ben Evans? Harrison? Dodds? I'd like to see Bailey and Cox retained and Dodds too if possible.



I can't see us making many more signings for next year after this news.

Seems perfectly possible, I'm sure he could walk into any top NRL club. However he tweeted this earlier regarding Coops



Massive signing for @wolvesrl who will bring the experience from nrl back with him, also have a good mate back home @MikeCooper_18



Seems a strange comment if he knows they won't be playing together next year.

Think Hill is fairly settled with a young family and doesn't fancy uprooting that. And thank God for that - all we need is for Ben Currie to have a few kids and get married.

I'd be surprised if Dodds will be here now, I'd struggle to see how we can keep him under the cap.



I think we will keep three from BEvans, Harrison, Cox & Bailey. A big part of who we keep will be dependant on what others are prepared to offer.



I think Harrison will stay and I hope Cox does, more so because he has age on his side. That leaves Bailey and BEvans - both playing for contract for me.



I think four props of Hill, Cooper, Sims & Harrison is better than anything else in SL by far. Add to that Cox and A.N.O plus Clark & Dwyer, we have a fantastic front row.
