I certainly don't begrudge the players, and coaching staff a deserved break - just don't want the club to lose the momentum it's built up with supporters by shutting up shop altogether for weeks. This is just a personal view, but the flat feeling most supporters will have felt after the York game could have been lifted with a couple of pre planned announcements to get people instead looking forward to next season.

Once again it seems the information highway has hit a hiatus:
Even if there is nothing to communicate because of waiting to hear about funding or because the season has not ended, a release saying that things would be quiet for a couple of weeks as the club is taking a holiday, but work behind the scenes is still ongoing, would at the very least let people know, and stop speculation and frustration from most pundits on here, although I imagine some will start rumours just to wind things up.

I suspect the media team are having some well earned time off , let’s not forget they ramped things up last year from around now with signing videos , interviews etc so it’s been a long road for them , I believe they are a small team and just like anyone in any line of work they deserve a break .

Where's Craig David when you need him?

NOooooooo !

Emigrated to Mars with a bit of luck.

Probably with Michael carter and Lawrence turner at the img meeting, either that or still looking for teigans bracelet.

I agree. Keighley are announcing signings and we have gone quiet. Just hope we have the finances to be competitive again next season.

Just spat my coffee out at that bit


Looks like licencing is now back though

Calm down i an not saying they don't deserve a break but the club like any other can not afford to go quite for a few weeks. People can quickly lose interest these days and a few well spaced out news releases is all i was asking for during this period of the off season.

My thoughts exactly

Pete , here is some good news, we are at full strength on Sunday,and will announce a few new signings next week.

I'll be watching on tv Ian. I'd hold back on the signings though until you know what division you'll be laiking in.

Worthington and Knowles have left the club

Take from it what you will as the source is mick gledhill . Just been watching the full 80 minutes and apparently Ian croad is moving on with new investment been put into the panthers .

It’s on clubs website about Worthington and Knowles.
Investment may be coming from New Zealand

Faxlore the phone won’t let me quote you for some reason, what have you heard about New Zealand ? Cheers.

Just that. Someone was saying that someone from New Zealand or May be New Zealand warriors are going to get involved with the club financially. Other than that I didn’t hear anything else. May be folk just talking bull or it may have some substance. That’s all I heard sorry I can’t elaborate on it as I don’t know myself. Also someone mentioned we may be signing two PNG players but again just folk talking and I have no idea where they heard this from.

Does anyone know where Worthington has gone? Grixy said he was offered more than we could. Keighley?

Barrow and keighley are the two rumours I’ve heard . You would think keighley would be more practical, the travel costs commuting to barrow plus travel time for training doesn’t seem ideal but who knows .

The offer he’s got in this case wasn’t so much about being “more than we could” but “more than we were prepared to” taking into account his age and where we are looking to a bit further down the road.

Going on rumours and who’s left the club I expect some further announcements on retentions and additions to the pack and a back to be announced shortly.

This is what i was talking about earlier in the year. Someone on the fax football forum said that New Zealand warriors are interested in taking over the club and buying the stadium from the council. At that time they were having trouble agreeing a price with the current board members who were supposedly asking for too much money for there share in the club. It could be like you say all bull or it could be exciting times ahead and maybe this is why things have gone a little quite after the season finished i hope so.

May be so but how do the football lot hear these things before the rugby lot. If it did involve buying the Shay I’m sure we would heard a lot moor screaming and shouting from the football contingency. Remember last time.
Faxcar my apologies. Yes it is more than we were prepared to pay.

I read the thread on the shaymen forum regarding the potential nrl club investment but thought it was just a wind up because they were moaning about us eggchasers ruining the pitch . Regarding potential investment if I had to guess I would say it would be more likely our sponsor Deliveree who have recently gained 75,0000 shares in the club .

All can say to any questions on this is i don't know it is all just rumors at the moment until anyone hears any different. I did also hear that eclipse energy were going to be investing more money into the club but that might not be true either we will just have to wait and see.
