My thoughts too. Hope not, but it wouldn't be the first time he had changed his mind about what club he wanted to play at.

He wouldn't need to 'do a Kopczack' though would he. All players have been told they could leave if they got an offer from another club. He's had the last two months to find another club.

...and the chairman is saying that since the [re buy-out there is no need to lose anyone from the squad.

To which I can only say [size=200yippeeeee[/size

Yay! Just need to avoid point deduction now.

Reassuring to hear that the board are closing the door on any players being sold.

If Carvell wanted to leave I think he would have walked by now.

All this good news is too much...
Would it be ungrateful of me to hope that we might now sign Evans and Mexico

Carvell was at the photo shoot this morning-- and seemed in good spirits

It might be a bit ambitious, but would be worth it to see the collective apoplectic meltdown from those who are clamouring for us to be deducted a million points and the directors exiled to patagonia.

Actually Patagonia is a wonderful place even though there are quite a lot of Welsh about.

Just a thought; we're not in "special measures" are we, and due to the admin, unable to sign anyone?

The club with it's new holding company isn't in admin unlike "O s**t where has Ryan put the Money" Bulls Ltd. Guess the key to your question is if the RFU already knows sufficient about the new set up to be satisfied with it's finances and business plan then you would assume no need for special measures?

Indeed. And a place I would love to go see, defo on the bucket list.

On reflection, maybe I should have said Siberia. Or Wakefield.

=#BFFFFFJoke, before the Wakey apoplectics kick off...

I think it is safe to say none of Stalin's victims ever made it back from Wakefield?

Would agree there's almost certainly 'no need', but maybe there are rules in place?

My impression all along is that the directors have been consulting, and acting with, the at least implied, support of the RFL so, to be honest, I don't expect any problems. Same applies to any points deduction too.

Of course, it may also be that the RFL now realise that punishing new people for the sins of their predecessors isn't really sensible and the whole unholy mess wouldn't have happened but for losing the Sky money; no need for loans, no need for cash investments, no need for court cases, no need for secondary admins..

Didn't Trotsky get an icepick stuck in his head while he was on the Westgate run one Saturday night?

That's just how it feels the next morning. But yes Trotsky visited Wakey when he was trying to deliver the Zinoviev Letter

I knew it. Champagne Socialist in league with the Daily Mail.

Anyway, back on topic have we got a half decent side for the weekend? Looks like we've a mini injury crisis already.

Why? Who we playing at weekend

Now that's something that is not in his bio on Wikipedia.
I Didn't know he worked as a postman in Wakefiled

That was the disguise that worked



He got a bit sloppy in Mexico after too many Coronas

We are playing Castleford. In the Super League. A decision whether or not we can do so will be made in about a fortnight. If that goes badly, the RFL will have to borrow the Tardis. If the game goes as badly as Sunday, the new board may have to.

Yes but not this coming weekend
