More rumours -

Rinaldi - Quins
Morrison - Crusaders
Lee - Hull KR
Mariano - Cas

As well as losing some decent young players, the worry is what will happen to Tony Drury and the other Academy and Scholarship coachers? Are they going to hang around or will they be off too.

At this rate we won't have nothing left to build a SL application on for 2015.

100%

Not heard the Mariano one. The others, yes!

No-one gives 2-s about us right now!

So if by some absolute miracle we are not demoted, what happens then given that these players were not allowed to sign for anyone else now and their contracts remain valid if we remain in SL unless we agree they can go?

Ain't that the truth, heartbreaking stuff. Matty Wildie is very highly sought after as well, though he is Wakey through and through.

Not heard that anyone has enquired about Hendo yet though!

When is the official anti-tamper deadline?

I know nobody at the RFL will be bothered anyway but aren't these agents breaking the rules?

What happened to keeping our best young players, oh yes the
f***!!! franchise system, that gives stability to the game and allows young players to come through.
What a joke, rugby league is killing itself here

We haven't many under contract though have we? I can only think of

Mariano
Wildie
Lee
P Johnson
Hickey
Higgins
Morton
Penny (though he ain't coming back)

Any more?

Bad times. Again.

99.9% chance of us getting the chop in a few weeks.

What about the Academy lads that are being pursued?

Thought Howarth & Johnson were signed for longer?

Everyone but Hendo.

What really pees me off about all this is that it is already taken for granted that we have gone.
Cas are being linked with new players and coaches for next year without the slightest mention that they are still,in theory,under threat.
Crusaders are laughing at the RFL.They are supposed to be bringing Welsh players through then go and sign Mcpherson and the OAP Senior,before the announcement.
The RFL should not be allowing any clubs under threat to be signing anybody as it is making a mockery of the system or they should just say now who is gone.
Also the RFL should get on our side for the remaining few weeks and stop the vultures circling until the right time,it is a disgrace.
Really hope that RFL publish the franchise results so everybody knows it was fair but we know they won't cos it will show we shouldn't have gone.

who will be a asset in the championship!

Both signed for just this season I think. As for the academy lads with the state of our finances at the start of the year I doubt many will be contracted for next year. And even if they are if they want to go and other clubs want them badly enough they'll just pay the cash and off they'll go.

I agree, he will be a good player at a lower level and I also think he would be happy to stay with us.

I'd have also thought that Morrison wouldn't just jump ship.
Part of the reason coming here was to get coaching opportunities.

If we go down he has the perfect opportunity. He won't walk into a SL job but would make his mark at next level down.

He's an asset now. My favourate player.

I personally think he can play another year of Super League and I think at least one club will offer him the chance to do this and I think he would rather play Super League than Championship.

Jonathan France to Castleford

I agree unfortunately. Depends whether we can offer him long term options to outway that.

Mariano and Wildie not going anywhere!

Neither Moore or Higgins.

It's a start!

Its a GOOD start!

I would be pleased with that. I think we could build at good championship team around Moore and Wildie and i also think that Higgins and Mariano would form the basis of a very powerful pack at that level.
