Still a few to be confirmed, but looking very competitive at the mo.

How is your financial situation looking- have you turned the corner?

Squad does look competitive, you're right.

Better than it has been for years in my opinion. The plans at the moment are at last to run the club properly and not overspend. We relied too much on Arthur Thomas to keep lumping money into us and when he went, we were stuffed. Last year we had to average crowds of 4000 to break even, the figure i've heard this year is 2k.

We have a cracking looking team, great stadium, running the club properly under hard circumstances and international RL being played in our town.

And still some people arn't happy.

You are playing Brierley at 7? I would prefer him at stand off, but i'm sure he will be a success for you next season. Looks like a decent team.

Depending how the injuries are at Cas, with the 'agreement' we have you might see players like Clare, Blackmore or Orange coming your way on Duel reg. All of who will be playing in SL in the next year or 2.

Any of those a big prop?

We could probably do with a centre too.

Clare is wing, Blackmore is centre, Orange is back row/centre.

Clark Thomposon is probably our best young prop. He was on loan to Gateshead last I knew. If he lost a bit of weight he might be able to step up to championship.

Who cares about the championship pfffffffft lower class scum.







Only joking my championship friends, we haven't forgot ya, my opinion is Halifax will scoop the lot this year with Fev close behind, then Batley, Leigh etc to battle it out for the rest. Fax certainly have the attacking players to destroy anyone in that division. Leigh are looking strong though considering all what's gone on.

I think Swinton will have a strong season. Can't see past Featherstone though, with Fax and Leigh fighting it out with them.

Probably a fair assessment that mate.

Sheffield have retained all their squad bar Danny Mills and Jamie Cottle whilst adding depth with the likes of Dom Brambani and Micheal Knowles to name a few.

We got to the final last year, it was a game to far but with playing some friendlies this year and no dual reg players to worry about we should be there or there about again.

We've already got a great Championship stand off in Martyn Ridyard, and we lost our Scrum Halves with Hull taking Jamie Ellis and Robbie Paul retiring. So I would imagine Brierly will play at scrum half, hoping for a good season from him as he sounds like a very good prospect.
