This club may be working to a three year plan. Hendo when coach set us up on a plan for SL in three years. He left, but Danny took it on with success.
I think they are setting things up again in a similar manner. We may not have strength in depth at this time, but over the year youngsters will improve or leave.
So this year we may scrape into the playoffs, but improvement will come and hopefully Year 3 SL.

That is not what I am saying and you know that. You are being pedantic. I want to hold on to our great youngsters a little longer and get benefit from them before other northern teams come in to cherry pick from the crop. If we could hang on to them once they have a bit more experience than we could have a settled team instead of changing so much year on year

It's time for The RFL and Super League to agree that any club in a development area or a lower league club Must receive a payment for Any player signed from them, currently it is rich picking for them! though in my amateur days there was a £50 fee for any player signed, and we had to support clubs to Fight to get that money off most clubs!

actually.... i would like to keep the academy...but bring in maybe 5/6 aus/kiwi/tonga/etc etc...as mentioned earlier they travel and stick around for sometime,good experience for youngsters too

i want the best of both worlds tbh!!!

maybe taking the club over from david!!

I can't see that happening given the ownership by The Dons Trust,
