Championship clubs have started signing players for next year and plenty of rumours flying around about Halifax departures.

Lannon to Widnes and Keyes to Bulls are 2 I've seen mentioned.

Would be gutted with that if true but can't blame them from wanting out of a club in freefall.

Who says the club's in free fall?

It’s pathetic it’s even allowed..clubs need their players focused on present contracts,particularly in situations like ours..

I don't mind players sorting out their future and having job security.

You'd assume that any players who do move on will have enough professionalism and respect for the club that they will put in everything until the last second of the last game. We'll see!

Well we're hardly soaring high at present!

Agreed but hardly in free fall. The injury situation has been horrendous but with it starting to improve and new recruits arriving now is the time to see an improvement. Fingers crossed.

If true about players signing for another club not half way through the season, it is a disgrace by the RL to let it happen, yes players need security, however as said above hope they will give their all up to the last minute. If it could happen and we had a big enough squad no matter if he is the best player at the club he would be warming his ‘arris on the bench and not getting minutes, unfortunate Fax are not in that position, and is said player going to be a bad apple and cause disruption?
Looking on the bright side Fax’s scouting system(?) might unearth a gem on half the wages. Up the Fax blue n white forever, ( or as long as Fax are in business)

Players sign for other clubs from may onwards and still have a duty to their current club ie Brandon Douglas who aston decided to announce last year before our challenge cup game with Sheffield. The information shouldn’t be leaked by so called journalists with agendas

Happy croad is involved, usually does well with restricted budgets.

As in all walks of life, it's allus gone on. It just wasn't all over social media then.

Players signing for other clubs before the current season has ended is bonkers - does soccer do it? I cannot understand why the October to February end of season window isn't long or good enough for players to sort out future contracts.

I agree, but even if was ruled out by the RFL/SL, clubs and players would still do it. They twist far bigger rules and get away with it after all, don't they?
