No, but I reckon he'd be one of the more realistic retentions and he's proven at Championship level.

Indeed

That's how I remember it....

According to Applegarth in League Express we've Jowitt, Dagger, Gale, Lino, Smith, Hood and Bowes all signed up for next year.

Saw that. Didn't realise Hood and Smith were signed up.

Hood got a new two year contract right at the start of the season (Dont know why)

Smith was signed on for two years.

Therefore Applegarth is technically correct in one way, however when relegated They may not be required

We must have been planning way ahead if we gave them dual contracts.

I'm assuming theirs will be cancelled if relegated whereas the others still count but I don't know that.

Whitbread too signed a three year deal in 2021, granted it will be a SL contract though.

Can see him going back to the NRL

I really rate Harry Bowes and would love to keep him. Perhaps his age prevents anyone getting him without a transfer fee.

Linked with Hull FC for next season.

How does it work if we go down?



Are all contracts null and void, and have to be renegotiated?



Or is the contract still valid if we continue to pay it? So could Whitbread potentially stay without renegotiation if we continue to pay him the original terms?
