A lot of the other threads are around recruitment so it seems easier to put things into perspective if we've got the 2017/2018 squad list
Thought Tameilau never signed and was last seen in France?

Not with the club anymore...by all accounts.
Max Davies is an academy lock of great promise
Andrew Davidson Scotland u20 lock / 6 very good prospect.

According to the last thread TC's contract expires this year
Catterick is out of contract at the end of this season, and I believe that Falcons_Thunder has only involved those in contract for the 2017-2018 season.
This as things stands is our squad for 2017/2018

Ooh that's interesting about TC.
Do you think it'll be renewed?
Do you think it'll be renewed?
Looking through last seasons list, it would seem to leave these players with contracts running out at the end of the season......
Jon Welsh
Ben Harris
Alex Rogers
Paddy Ryan
Ally Hogg
Joshua Chisanga
Tyrone Holmes
Micky Young
Tom Catterick
Chris Harris
Adam Powell
Dom Waldouck
Tom Penny
Nick Reynolds
Marcus Watson
Alex Tait
That is quite the list.
I would be looking to keep hold of, and offer new contracts to, Jon Welsh, Joshua Chisanga, Chris Harris, Tom Penny, Adam Powell, Alex Tait, Marcus Watson and Ally Hogg.
Which would mean letting go of, Ben Harris, Alex Rogers, Paddy Ryan, Tyrone Holmes, Micky Young, Tom Catterick, Dom Waldouck and Nick Reynolds, which would mean a few bodies required again next season.

We haven't even seen Nic Renoylds play yet.
I'd keep all above. Plus TC and Dom. I've been rather impressed Dom. And TC is one of those guys you have to keep, local lad through and through and has shown what he can do. And he's one of the academy products.
Apart from a little bit of inconsistency doms been pretty good. I thought he was fantastic against bath. Put in some cracking tackles,

Theres a few key players that need to be kept!
I haven't heard much else about the Wasps-Watson link...wonder what will happen there? Is DTH the ready made replacement?

We have no idea yet if Chisanga will make the grade but Deano spoke pretty favourably of him quite recently so I assume he is starting to impress on the training pitch.

That is an odd one ...in the few outings ive seen of Josh he looks raw but huge potential...yet he's barely played....
Is he on a dual registration with Blaydon or Tynedale?

Tad harsh there Running, I think one of the reasons we've done so well this year is due to the standard of our back up players. I'd be looking to retain:-
- Welsh who has been a quality signing and who doesn't want to see a man at 19 clem running through holes in the defensive line and having a 40 yard dash!
- Harris being so unlucky with injury, but in the brief appearances so far notably of the bench against Bath was willing to carry and made a big impact on us getting that match winning try. I just feel bigger things are coming for this lad!
- Rogers play both side of the scrum and has done well in the euro campaign, if he was let go we'd need to replace him with a loosehead and there isn't many about
- Ryan looks like he's been hammering the cardio of late and looking a lot leaner, done great for lad because he looks a half decent scrummager. Again if jettisoned would need replacing
- Hogg has to stay, FULL STOP.
- Chisanga looks promising, not fussed though
- Young, another preseason working his boxing kicking and I'm happy. Some of his performances from the bench have been great this year and has Welsh's navy for a line break. I think it be a real shame if Young left
- TC for me has to stay, id like to see him reconcentrate on the back three again. He's a modern day Tom May, TC's versatility and skill are worth keeping
- C.Harris again unlucky with injury, but he's a quality 13 when fit. Just ask Pisi after his performance against him at the Gardens last year!
- Tait same as Hogg, sign him up for as long as possible!
- Penny from what I've seen a canny player
- Waldouck/Powell one of these boys if not both, both experienced and solid in defence which they're always vocal in organising
- Watson in the same category as Tait and Hogg but unfortunately think he's gone

It is the 'raw' bit that they were working on last I heard. He certainly seems to have plenty of potential and I will be surprised if he doesn't start to get game time at one of the local clubs soon, but pretty sure he isn't registered anywhere yet. Maybe Smithy can bring us up to date?
Josh has been working very closely with Micky Ward about a potential conversion to prop, and has had a couple of run-outs at a lower level for Blaydon to see how he goes. It's a work in progress, but he is still also in consideration as a back-row player.
That's interesting. Any news on signings/re-signings as Thunder asked?
I'm not going to pre-empt any announcements, but rest assured there is plenty going on.
Good to know, looking forward to the announcements once they are forthcoming.

It hasn't been, so he's off to Bristol
That's a real shame if TC leaves. He's had injury problems but he's a good versatile player with plenty of rugby left in him yet. When he had a run at 10 he looked the part
Good luck TC
Good luck TC
Maybe not surprising about Catterick. But a shame if its true.
Chisanga at prop is an interesting one. The Vickers to LH was a major success...Chisanga has a lot more physical size than Bobby so it could work.
He'd be a carryng prop like Mako!
PS...Does anyone have info how the other young squad members are doing...
Players like Socino Jr, Farreira, Davidson, David Nelson

We need at least one more LH and one TH in my opinion. Scrum has now become one of our weakest links in recent games and I believe that now we have strengthened the backs, some focus needs to shift to our forwards and especially props.
Job Welsh contract runs out at the end of this season.would be a massive loss if he didn't sign back on
Ah yeah keeping Welsh should be a he push for Dean. I think he's a class player...not to mention his line breaks put the backs to shame!
I think our scrum has been fine this season. Don't forget the scrum isn't all about the front row...the locks play a huge role in it aswell and we have locks now that appear to be very strong scrummagers.
LH
We had a big blow with Lockwood going out so soon in the season as he looked like the one, and Rob Vickers could then have been managed suitably with his gametime. As it is Rob isn't getting any younger and im not convinced Rogers is the answer. Brocklehurst and Davison are just academy lads. Maybe we need to add 1 seasoned option - talk of that French LH.
Can Chisanga be as good a change as Beast Mtarriwara (he moved from back row to LH) or Vickers move from hooker to LH?? Who knows.
TH
I think at TH we are fine (Jon Welsh is quality!)...so long as Davy and Scott Wilson both stay fit and injury free! But that just looks unachievable from this seasons showings. For me the jury is out on Ryan. He's one big unit...and sometimes he seems to smash everything in front of him...but then other times im far less convinced on him.
Young Foster is still a work in progress.
Hooker we are in very rude health.

Whats people thoughts on Willis and Conon?
We've signed Matavesi x 2, and now the Flood rumours...surely that would push one or both of the young lads out?

Wouldn't of thought so, just great to have the depth for guys to push each other for a starting shirt week in week out... and I reckon Delany will be off if flood signs...
I wonder if Willis may be sent out on Loan for a season to be a starting 10 somewhere? Maybe something like Rotherham etc. That would be great experience for him and good for the falcons aswell.
In the times interview this morning Jon Welsh stated he had signed a 2 year extension so he will be with us until 2019.
Michael Young announced on Twitter he has signed a 3 year contract extension.
Yesterday's Rugby Paper said that we had spoken to Lood de Jäger but his wage demands were too high and now Irish were taking with him. We do need an extra second row on my opinion and this fella is world class and still only 24.
I notice Ian Evans has been released with immediate effect from Bristol
Still only 29 years old and a few years ago was Lions material

If we were going for another player in the second row, I would go for Tom Price from Scarlets still only 24 and is turning into a top quality lock. 
Didn't it also say that Sale had completed the signings of Faf De Klerk and James O Connor...bet that was expensive!

Lood de Jäger would destroy most defences in the premiership but he's too good if a player for us and we can't afford him

I'm sure I read somewhere that Catterick was going to Bristol so it looks like he is going to leave. With the new signings Temm would be further down the pecking order and I'd expect him to be released.
Still no news on any of these players.....

Beauty of a team that like, Deano and Co really are building something special up here.
Tom Catterick has announced his retirement from pro rugby. On offy, can't link from phone!
I've asked this on another thread. Is there any news re Chisanga and whether the prop experiment worked ?
Looking at the squad so far, loose head seems the weakness. We have to assume the usual percentage of injuries etc so with a couple of the front line props crocked in, say, October, it looks a bit thin.

From memory Jon Welsh can play both sides of the front row but I think we still need more competition at both LH and TH for the coming seasons, especially if we are targeting 6th place.
Yep 2 props is all we need to really compete for 6th next season.
So here's the question...
Will Scott Wilson stay fit and injury free and finally get bang in form and fulfil his genuine promise?

And the other question
Will Kibirige get a few more run outs this season?
Good to see Simon Uzokwe with us permanently now after his spell at Darlington...looks a small tank of a flanker and been hugely impressive for them.

Ferreira was released over a year ago, Davidson and Penny were already in the senior squad, Stevenson remains in senior academy squad, Coulson was released over a yeat ago. Kibirige is in NZ playing a summer of rugby there and will return to us after that.

Ah excellent, thanks Mark for the update
Ally Hogg confirms he's signed a 1 year deal for next season
Are Mo Botha, Tyrone Holmes, Joshua Chisanga, and Nick Civetta staying for next season? Heard a few rumours regarding the departures of all of them, but nothing concrete.
Smithy confirmed Chisanga has left. Botha and Holmes haven't been shown in any pre season photos so far. I'd expect both to leave. Sounds like Civetta has done well with the USA but he was only on a one year deal I believe so he might have been released. Would like to think we would have given him another opportunity, as we are well stocked in locks would be good to see him go on loan to the Championship.
No sign of Delany in training despite pictures of kicking practice
I'd imagine Civetta would be still on board as he's part of the international Falcons updates.
Could someone point me towards any pre season photos?
It would just be nice if the club would tell us which players might be playing for the team we support...... but obviously that is too much trouble for them. We appear to find out about Ally Hogg through TRP, it seems pathetic that the club can't be bothered to inform the fans
The new squad info has been sent to our website developers, it will be uploaded in due course.
Tyrone is no longer with the club, Mo is in pre-season training and Nick will join pre-season shortly following his USA commitments.

Thanks for the update, Smithy.
Was Tyrone Holmes simply released or has he found another club? Just for my transfer thread on here.
Hi RR, I will leave Tyrone to announce his future plans rather than speaking on his behalf. I hope you can understand, though I do fully appreciate the desire for information.

Sorted RR
A lot of players on the list have no end date for their contracts on the first page of this thread. Could anyone amend this? Maybe, Smithy? Just so we have an idea of which players are up for renewal?
Would be much appreciated....

Hi, no, sorry, we won’t be issuing end dates for player contracts. If players wish to have this in the public domain we’ll announce contract length when we announce the contract. But that is down to the player to decide.
You can add Guy Graham to the squad for next season. If he turns out like his brother that'll be a cracking signing.
One of our other new signings was at the club yesterday, I interviewed him and should be announcing it next week.
Might do a second one next week if I can track down the player to get some quotes (his agent is working on it, but the deal is done).
Got a few more renewals to announce over the next few weeks also.
Cheers

Thanks for keeping us up to date Smithy.
What's happened to mark Wilson ? Is he injured? Haven't heard anything about him for a while.
Is Craig Willis injured at the moment?
And Brett Connon?
And Brett Connon?
Brett is injured, Craig has been injured but is benching for the A-Team at Sale tonight in his comeback game.
Tom Arscott solid signing, is it more about retention this year rather than additions? I'd love to to see us get cipriani, his X factor style would be brilliant at KP
And you can take Craig Willis off as well...
I wondered that we hadn't seen much of him Mark.

GF, he has been injured for a while, returned to fitness this week
Can we get an updated version of the squad list as this one has many players on it that aren't even at the club anymore.
Would be nice to see where the squad stands for next season, as more renewals and singings are announced.
