Transfer Gossip 8

September 1st is the date where clubs are officially allowed to approach players who are out of contract at the end of the season. Although most clubs seem to have a gentleman's agreement in place to allow talks before this date, announcements are often kept until this date. However, the system is due to be reviewed at the end of the year, with the deadline set to be scrapped for 2010.
Brad Drew, Wakefield to Salford
Australian hooker Brad Drew will move to The Willows in 2010 to replace Leigh-bound Robbie Paul. Drew had been set for a transfer to Castleford, but that move fell through as Tigers have no space under their overseas quota. (Source: Yorkshire Evening Post)
Daryl Millard, Canterbury to Wakefield
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats are poised to confirm the signing of Canterbury Bulldogs centre Daryl Millard this week. A Fijian international, Millard, 24, began his career with St George-Illawarra Dragons before moving to the Bulldogs two years ago. Millard will replace England three-quarter Ryan Atkins, who is set to join Warrington Wolves next season. (Source: Yorkshire Evening Post)
Matt Cook, Bradford to Hull KR
Once highly-rated centre Matt Cook is off to join Justin Morgan's Craven Park revolution at the end of his Bradford contract. The Bulls have struggled this season and Cook has chosen Rovers over Castleford, where he spent time on loan earlier in his career. (Source: The Guardian)
Richie Myler, Salford to Warrington
Rugby league's worst kept secret is to become public knowledge this week, as Wolves chief Simon Moran promised to follow up the weekend's Challenge Cup final triumph with news about their re-building for the future. Myler is to be joined by Wakefield's Ryan Atkins, amongst others, as Tony Smith reshapes his squad for 2010.
Tommy Lee, Hull to Salford
Salford have begun planning for life without Myler with the signing of Tommy Lee from Hull. Half-back or hooker Lee has featured in every game for Hull this season, but was suspended at the weekend for a breach of club discipline. He is expected to be shown the door at the KC Stadium, with The Willows his likely destination.

Even thou it's only on a season loan from St Helens who knows if all goes well Matty could be with us a while longer.
