goddard wont be fit as the game may be abit soon after his injury and fairbank wont be involved in the pre season as his at the giants untill the nr cup starts

when i spoke to barlow last night he said he wouldnt be playing. forgot about cherryholme. he'll be raring to go, facing his old club!

why have we not heard any solid news surrounding dom and bob then?!

from your close source, when was thier resigning announced? did i miss it?

Has Rob resigned??

we've heard as much about whats been going on with rob's contract as we have bob beswicsk, and maloneys.

but to be logical, they are all too good players not to have a club at this time of the year.

if they had signed elsewhere im sure we would have heard.

I don't think we would play unsigned players because they wouldn't be insured

Ho ho ho, here we go again !!!!

So wouldn't we play a trialist then? Players have their own PI policies, the RL Insurance only covers deaths or loss of limbs

trust me the squad is taking shape and when did you ever belive what sam tells you.the squad is looking good from my source and what ive seen on the hills ov shibden,calland and co have really been getting the lads fired up for the new season a head

we have a reyt sqwad, cant wait...

Fax ready to storm the Championship

can see some cricket scores next season as we bully teams into a pulp....

The players mentioned are on 2 year deals and although the club may have asked them to re-negotiate. If they choose not to, like some have, then they are still under contract.

Have you guys released you're squad numbers yet?

No

Don't get too carried away !

For what it's worth, I don't think many (if any) clubs will be stronger on paper this year as the Salary Cap and finances bite. With regards to Fax, you have arguably lost your best 5 players in Royston, Gleeson, Tamghart, Branaghan and Nash (?). These players either haven't been replaced, or have been replaced with, IMO, inferior players. Of course, the game isn't played on paper and I'm sure you'll be just as difficult to beat in 2011.

I could say pretty much the same applies to all the 'top' Championship teams. Leigh, Fev, Widnes and Barrow are all, at present, weaker than 2010 on paper.

Should still be a belting season though.

Branno and Shad I will give you. Although when Miles was playing before his injury Shad couldn't get in the team at fullback..

Gleeson missed 3/4's of the season (think we did well without him wouldn't you say??)

Said again missed a lot of the season through injury, came back too soon was a liability.. (did we do OK without him??)

Nash was good on his day although would often throw a stupid pass on our own line after defending 3 back2back sets.. Hopefully he will be back but who knows he is in limbo at the moment..

Point being we have lost 2 quality performers this year IMO so not a total disaster... Still feel we will be lucky to make top 4 though all truth been told

Why say stuff like this? Having confidence in the ability of your team is one thing, but to start crowing when we haven't even touched a ball in anger is, IMHO, tantamount to verbal suicide. Remember MC's "country mile" comment? Came back to bite him on the proverbial, didn't it? Please put brain into gear before approaching keyboard.

Fair comment. All I know is that the 5 players I mentioned (plus Black) are the ones that, as an oppostion fan, I feared the most when we played Fax.

I'm sure Fax will make the top 4 and hopefully Barrow will again as the squad are training the house down and should be far fitter, trimmer and more expansive than they were under McCormack. We just lack squad depth at the moment.

I think he was joking in reply to the riot squad photo to be fair...

New away kit looks good

It wasn't obvious to SRC ........ but TS?

In an attempt to improve our defence we could always kettle the opposition!
