Well my opinion is if Leigh do what we know they can it makes no difference who other clubs have recently signed.

I think we will get promoted and'lets be honest how often am I wrong.

No replies necessarry.

Because it distorts competitions.


Should Hull KR should be allowed to bring in the entire Brisbane Broncos first team for the Challenge Cup? They could if there were no regulations preventing it.

Should a club be able to send talented players to other clubs to ensure favourable results for themselves? Only the regulations prevent it.

Should clubs gang-up and provide players to play against a particular team?? ...

They're all wild theories, but if the regulations allowed then such situations would begin to develop.

What we're seeing this season (with regards to transfers) is short-termist and reactionary. It endangers the stability of clubs as they try to do whatever they can to cling-on to or gain SL status. If we continue to see such actions from the clubs involved in the middle 8 scrap then it will ultimately seal the demise of the format and that would be a shame.

Clubs must be allowed to sign and release players during the season, but there needs to be a cut off point beyond which a club must run with what it's got, and it has to happen long before the serious stuff kicks-in. I'd suggest that you need your full squad in place 8 weeks before the Super 8's (maybe 2 signings allowed after that point to cover for injury, but only before the Super 8 competition starts).

As it is, I think the clubs thrashing around signing lots of players are going to struggle to integrate those players. So good luck to them and their short-termist attitudes.

It's just smacks of desperation and could lead to a return of boom and bust. If your team haven't made a rash of signings then you are probably in a good position.
As we all know Wakey are as desperate as can be, if they go out of SL then they have a really big challenge to get back in, no team, no ground, no chance. If they stop in the ground position is not a problem I believe as they do not have to meet any criteria that say Leigh or Fax would.

Totally agree Michael. Well said.

Just noticed that Simon Grix is still not recovered and will remain with the wolves until he is fit. He hopes to get some game time towards the end of the middle 8s with Wakefield. Odds on him not playing a game?

Webster was given money and the freedom to make his own signings during the off season. The club stood by him for too long, he should have gone 7 or 8 games before he did.

As has been stated earlier by a Wakefield fan, Wakefield have lost,
Kirmond/Owen/Locke/Kirke/Howarth for the season due to injury
Collis/Ryan/Sammut/McShane/Paea/D Smith have all left the club and been replaced.

That's 11 out and 10 in, we'll no doubt suffer through lack of familiarity and understanding between the players.

Grix was signed and registered at the RFL before the deadline but not announced until after Warringtons Challenge a Cup Semi Final at Warringtons request.

Where did you lose them ?

Down the back of the sofa maybe ?

No, you didn't lose them at all, the reality is you got rid of approaching half of an under performing 17 & your coach in a mass panic/big flap when the reality of losing your SL place bit your club squarely on the ar$e.

Even if it is within the current rules, it shouldn't be & it is definitely not within the spirit of the sport.

Wildcats, I hope you get battered by every club.

Come on Fax, Eagles, Bulls, Reds/Devils & K.R, lets restore justice.

Wow!

That's some rant.

What about the Vikings?
