I realise a lot of things are up in the air but I feel replacing Keyes is clearly a massive task. Any suggestions?

Lilley is useful. We can't afford another Keyes.

Thought we had replaced Keyes with someone from Sheffield ?

Jack Hansen from Eagles was the rumour former Swinton half.

Problem is some of these signings were Finns so might not go through, hopefully if murrell is the man he knows some decent players.

Surely we can't give backword unless we have to reform ?

Lilley's a tough lad but is much better suited to hooker than halfback IMO.

When speaking to the directors/staff last week in France, the playing budget is likely to be £150K less next year, so we have to be realistic re any signings. But we have circa 20 already signed up. They suggested Ikahihifo wouldn’t be coming, his demands are too much. And listening to Keyes, he didn’t sound too happy to be signing for Bradford

If it's common knowledge that Finn is leaving, why hasn't it been announced? I know it's been a tough season for him, but it appeared he was relishing the challenge so I'm surprised he's moving on, especially to Huddersfield.
