WHAT????? Seventeen Proctors???

Matt Petersen is 18th man.

Jarrod Hickey starting prop

I would be delighted to see Powell as coach with Gale assistant

All the overseas players can go for my money Lino included

Also Lyne, Lineham, Hood

Eseh, Bowes would be real losses both young with potential

As for Carter the sooner he goes the better for me

I will attend next season but a season ticket is a no until he goes

Excellent!!!
…another investor … how much are you putting in and what portion of control would you be buying????

That'll show him.

Westerman Eden and massey all to fev as cas look to release 15 players. Same problem as us let the squad get too old

I would have taken Westerman if we were still in SL, been consistently Cas's best player. I know people would talk about his age but he is still quality.

Very much what we did back in 2012, all but a few out the door and a fresh side. Be interesting to see who they'll bring in.

I'd take both Eden and Westy, both still playing a decent brand of rugby and have excellent versatility.

They're not turning down a SL contract though, given it'll probably be their final chance.

They are trimming costs though reportedly.
Let's see where they end up.

Indeed
If they are struggling, as most RL clubs seem to be, they will need to trim their costs and players like Austin and Widdop certainly wont be cheap.
Also, how committed is Fulton Jnr, I dont think he's quite as keen to prop them up to the same extent as his dad ?

think the problem is if cas need 15 new players, fev if they come up probably 10, hull will want at least 6 and Leeds at least 10, where is the quality going to come from. Maybe tanginoa from us but not many others.
I hope when img do come in the overseas players are reduced to 3 and teams are told to get their houses in order and part of the criteria is to produce your own players

Fulton Junior wants out but he is owed at least a couple of million. They have potential sales lined up but all dependant on what happens with their planning permission.

Lots of rumours on here then.
How good would it be to have some news of a positive nature coming from the club.
MC said there would be announcements in ‘the next few days’ or words to that effect but the silence so far is deafening.

Carter did say that we'd be announcing who will be leaving the club over the next week or two.

Don't see what the rush is, the season isn't even over yet.

Didn’t he say the take over would take four more weeks several weeks ago so I guess you take any timings with a question mark.

Maybe that’s not the aim, maybe some fans are just unhappy and it changes their behaviours.

Eseh going to Saints according to the broken clock that is Gledhill

In last weeks interview he was hoping next 7 to 10 days so if its done or really close maybe monday of next week,although he did say hes been thinking that for months.
Cant help thinking that ellis may have somthing to do with mkm coming on boards ref east stand.although i may be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5

Aaron Bower tweeted that Ellis has sounded Daryl Powell out for next year.

Bit of a known rumour but interesting now in the media. Must have some level of truth ?

Positive move from the new owners. Hopefully backed by us in the stands

With Powell now looking likely to take over, my view is very optimistic. Powell won't be cheap and I don't think he will want another fail on his CV/record. I personally (with zero inside knowledge ) think this deal is already done and dusted. What better time to announce it, after:
1) Players have gone (some we will miss, others we won't
2) the season is over and we announce season tickets for next year. The new owner, optimistic bounce will encourage renewals. Not to mention maybe some 'Hit taking' deals to help hit the target figure. Spending on a squad with ME money, that the rest of the league can only dream of.
