As much as I love the idea of using it for bands (Being in one myself) the existing venues cant get a decent crowd in, and are turning away from Live Bands or going down the solo / Acoustic duo route. The only exception being Warehouse 23 which manages to attract decent names and can charge accordingly, but even that has the benefit of being slap bang in the middle of town, something that Belle Vue isn't.

Thought Randel was playing a lot better than Wood at back end of season , so to bring some one in to play as second choice to Wood is a backward step .

Josh Wood got Salfords Young Player of the Year 2018 and their Players Player 2018 but has been injured part of this season.

Just read back on the report of the 13 NRL players offered out.

Ryley Jacks was the half who could play hooker, the other halves were Williams, Reynolds and Mason Lino

A little closer to home. I read earlier that Dec Pattom was being released by Warrington

Agreed but Woody had a long hard season, pretty much played into the ground, he needs an off season to rest up.

I was just thinking same Fisherman.

Since he came back in 2017, done a lot of minutes, did 80 minute stints for the majority of 2017, and with Randells injury problems since he came to us.

Maybe he just needs that bit of a breather.

As for the incoming Wood, given the accolades he won at Salford,maybe we should give him a chance in the red, white and blue before we pass judgement
