Which Tuesday remains to be seen! ...
I hope it's not another false dawn.

Interesting.

| KCNBABT joined the forum yesterday and has made three posts, all purportedly claiming to be 'in the know'
Either someone who works at the club or a troll. Can't quite decide
So, come on KCNBABT. If you really do 'know' stuff, then let's have some real insight (otherwise b***er off!)

| It's not the first time I've read about, "senior players being kept in the loop", and though I know I didn't read it previously on here, I'm not certain just where I did. Something Dave Craven may have written, possibly? He seems to know more now than he ever did when he was at the T&A.

12 points would leave promotion unrealistic. 6 points is doable and I have no doubt Rohan would be putting this point across.

He said the administrator was hopeful of striking a deal on Tuesday. Not that he "will" but that he is "hopeful". A deal may well be done on any given day, or never, but as the 8 weeks is looming then any deal will be imminent or else down the pan we go. So to say he is "hopeful" of striking a deal" is actually saying zero. We are ALL "hopeful", but being hopeful isn't actually worth a flying fart.
Anyway, everyone on this board knows that it was a "done deal" many weeks ago now, so the apparent lack of any buyer, faked bid rejections etc is all in fact just pretend.

That is when the administrator has to deliver his report on the business.
A lot of supporters perceptions are wrong about Rohan Smith and once the players that are leaving for pastures new start to talk the truth will emerge. Caro, Clare, Sidlow, Mellor.

| From the outside looking in, it would appear that Rohan expects very high standards of his players. If he has inherited some players who don't believe in his rugby philosophy then you can easily envisage a scenario where coach and player might fall out. As we saw last year, attitude was something that needed addressing for 2017.
As long as it's not a mass exodus, I'm fairly relaxed about losing a few players RS inherited, whether they're senior players or not. And to be honest, it's the least of our worries right now.

I do not doubt your suggestion; and the truth may well with out.
Does KCNBABT stand for anything specific?

We believe it is Nigel Wood so my guess is
K- Kentucky fried chicken
C - Curly Wurly
N - Nougat
B - Beef in black bean sauce
A - Apple pie
B - Black Pudding
T - Tomato dip

A bit harsh if you're not a 'senior' player though. Surely in a situation like this every player has a right to be kept in the loop, regardless of their standing?

| Tried frantically last night to catch up on this thread before midnight but you posters were way too prolific for poor old, beer-befuddled Bongser. Continued after midnight but, as Channel 5 was on the box, it became increasingly difficult to separate wild speculation from Pulp Fiction! Then, as Tarantino night continued (along with the ale), Bongser's addled wits started to invent characters in both media such as Mister Red Bull. Gave up and went to bed.
Now caught up and so as nothing concrete has been released, may all at Bongser Towers wish all here and the staff & players of The Bulls a Happier New Year ensure you of their sincere hope for a HAPPY New Year RESOLUTION to this bl00dy mess.

There are plenty of 'em mate..they turn up like carrion crows. Always welcome, of course, like any diversion in times of crisis, but a pity we never seem to get them in regular times.

| On a side issue, not seen anything official from Leigh regarding their acquisition of Clare. Though it may well come to pass, think you should be more worried about a predator already in your midst, chatting up your players. Let's just call him Grima Worm TONG if you catch Bongser's drift. See he's already been raising hackles on your manor just as he did for most of ours for all of last season.
Ps: Go for it Debaser, old mate. Rooting for you to ultimately top the graph!
Apologies for the split infinitive.

The idea being that the senior players then filter the info down to the others. Not that the others aren't allowed to know.
