Hesketh has announced he has signed a 2 yr deal at Batley

Heard Craven got the same deal too

You cant blame them.
Good luck to them both.

More collateral damage from RFL decision.

Ah well, opportunities for Ryan Patchett, Ross Peltier, Jodie Sherrffe, Jesse Sherriffe, Etc

And two fingers to Cougars from John Kear!

I know off another three, maybe four who are to follow Shick and Paddy out of the club.

We'll announce in due course.

I would expect better Hello Trouble. This I know, but not telling yet I find very frustrating. Either announce it or don't mention it.

Personally, I want to announce it but I have to respect the wishes of the players and the other clubs involved as I feel you all deserve to know. Surely this is understandable?

You are on here as the rep of the club so surely common sense would say that if you are unable to announce it then I would maybe suggest you don't say anything until you can announce it. This is not a good news story and fans do not want to see or hear about players leaving. Fans are understandably concerned following the relegation so I am not sure you would want to make these type of comments. If it was a signing and you wanted to build it up then fair enough, but this is negative news.

Going to be brutally honest with you Dominance, the club want to be as honest as we can with the supporters hence why we've got re-signings and departures to announce in the next fortnight. If we kept quiet you'd all be questioning why there was no noise coming out.

It could be a good news story depending on the players



Lightern up FFS hello trouble does a good job lettings us know!

My opinion Halifax Cougar. You may disagree but thats what makes this forum what it is. That's the second time you have used FFS in post directed at me. If you don't like people having an opinion that differs to yours maybe a forum is not the place for you?

I can see Dominance's point. If you know something then announce it and if you are saying, "I know something you don't!" - what is the point? Announcing that there are members of the Cougars squad looking for other clubs is saying to all the other clubs - come and get them!

Departure for you. Josh Lynam is heading to Australia.

The departures I have referred too are all done deals. Just waiting for a green light to confirm officially.

Done deals but can't announce? Surely done deals can be announced, not yet done deals cannot be announced?

Good luck to Josh.

Why respect the players there leaving. Hope James haley signs up

With the club still trying to sell season tickets and sponsorship next season we need positive news coming out of the club. Let's have rumours of players talking to the club even if we can't name them. At this rate people will be banging on Gary's door Monday wanting their season ticket money back!

As pointed out already, I have to respect the wishes of the players and clubs involved.

It is what it is.

We are all cougar fans and let's be honest, we would be down at cougar park to watch the game even if we signed a bunch of amateurs.

The club is quite right to release relevant information regarding players staying, leaving and arriving at a reasonable pace, they must also take into consideration the players personal position, our clubs postion, other clubs position etc

let's not jump on HT's back and force info out that may be best timed at a later date.

We don't need an excuse to invite On the terraces back on here with his huge axe just yet do we

Relevant information - spot on. Saying I know, but not telling is not relevant to anyone!

I'm not jumping on anyone's back, just making comment.

Regarding your last point - LOL.

Yes I am out, I am off to sign up to facelessbook and tatter and make my life amazing.

Why do you get so annoyed about someone saying 4 players are leaving, I am going to double it to 8 leaving now. I will tell you names of them a week on Tuesday.

For the record players will have to leave for us to move forward, its life!

Who's annoyed?

This is not Keighley Cougars appreciation society and the one thing that frustrates me is the "I know but not telling" line. When that comes from an official of the club I find it unprofessional to say the least. I am not annoyed, but feel empowered on this forum to make a comment. I post knowing some may not agree. Difference is, unlike you I do not decide to use abbreviated swear words and abuse towards someone who's post I don't agree with. I am happy you have a different opinion to me. It would be a very dull world if we all agreed, but do not appreciate people use foul or abbreviated swear words at me. That probably says more about you that it does about me.

Well at least we agree on something

. Players will leave and we will come back bigger and stronger, hopefully………..!
