Just spoken to Marchy this morning. He confrimed he'll be continuing playing for the 2015 campaign and that Gary has only just given him the budget for next season so you might have to wait a while before signings and re-signings can be announced, especially with the appeal at hand, but I'll get them straight to you when they happen on this thread!

Cheers, keep us posted!

For those who missed it on Facebook and Twitter earlier, had another conversation with Marchy and this is what he said:

"Whitey was on a two year deal but with us going down, he's agreed to change his contract to suit the league we are in, so he's on board for next year."

To confirm, Paul White is signed up for the 2015 season.

NOTE: Could we have the thread sticky'd please moderator?

Awesome start to have Paul White again.

I reckon a fair few will sign up to be honest.

Hopefully but that is a brilliant start.
Would us the supporters be out of order to hope for
A return back upat first attempt ?

Paul White will be awsome in our new division I am sure. We must be in a with a chance of coming back up again but I expect it will be competitive, perhaps more difficult than we think.

One thing for me is that every day that goes by after Sunday is a step further on with rehabilitation and recovery! The good wishes of folks from other clubs, and the lack of bickering bewteen us all on this Forum is heartening. It is as if everone is thinking ah well that's over with now, lets move on! (plenty could just say I told you so). I do find this positve vibe heartening and rather than give up which is tempting we can all come back stronger!

Danny Jones and Paul Handforth have resigned for the 2015 campaign.

That's brilliant news, we can build a team around those two. Together they are a class act. We need some umph in the forwards now.

These four players are a massive boost and setting an excellrnt example to the
Rest of the team that are undecided.

Great start.

It is great news. Regarding the umph in the forwards, I always thought Ross Peltier provided a fair amount of that when he came on. Maybe now that the legend that is Andy Shickell has retired, RP can come back into contention.

Bren Rawlins also signed up! (According to Facebook but it hasn't reached here yet)

It has now

It's my day off today with it being Gary's Birthday! But, yeah Rawlo has signed up.

Perhaps it's me but signing the same players and coach who successfully got the club relegated rather than winning the league does seem a rather backward step.

All great signings, so far, Jones and Handforth are class on there day, yes they haven't always clicked this season but a second season together in the halves, and in that division(if we are)they will prove their class, and Paul White, check his scoring record the last 2 seasons, Rollo great off loader of the ball and a tackling machine, yes he may drop the odd ball, but thats because he drives the ball in so hard,he has no fear in his game. And March, anyone who doubts his ability as a player, ask any other coach or player from any professional club about his ability, and they tell you just how good he is, that's why JD brought him to the club. As for his coaching ability he in coaching terms is a novice, I would say his apprenticeship has now been served, I will judge him this time next year. And for once its good to see a club stick with a young English coach while he learns his trade.

Spoken to Paul this evening, we're having the weekend off and will be announcing the next member of the squad on Monday.

Sean Hesketh has left the club and joined Batley Bulldogs on a two year deal.

Thats a shame. He was very good for us.
Good luck to him.

Buster has signed a new two year deal with the club.

Josh Lynam is heading to Australia and has now left the club.

James Haley has announced his retirement from the game.

Three more re-signings to announce. Scott Law, Jode Sheriffe and Neil Cherryholme have all penned new deals.

Jack Lee has left the club to join Fryston Warriors, James Craven is to also depart.
