I would be surprised if we avoid the drop with the signings made

Dewsbury went down and Whitehaven and this is where we have recruited from and let the better players leave,

So yes plenty to get excited about watching us get battered each week. Unless we bring in a load of wire reserves the writing is on the wall

Which better players have we let leave? We have had two very poor seasons which those players that have left contributed to. We needed a massive clear out and we are at last seeeing that although I still think it needed to start at least a couple of years back. As LU says we have a number of quality players in key positions especially 1,6, and 9. We have 2 top quality props to come back in to the team which will be like having 2 new signings as long as they are fit.

I am not sure what some people were expecting, we clearly have no money, we owe the tax man, we have not paid rent for months, so taking that in to account I think our signings so far have been quite positive. Richard Marshall will look after us I am sure with who we get from Warrington and personally I feel a lot more positive about the upcoming season than I did about last season.

Crooks posted “first day of pre-season” on his Instagram and he was in his Fax kit. Guess he might leave if he gets a better offer but for now he’s staying

I read Fax have a deal with Hansen plywood, maybe the can use then to build a defensive line !

Looks like the end of the signings, so will be operating a very small squad of 18. I get that, we just can't afford to pay players sitting in the stands. Hopefully we'll set up a meaningful DR to plug any injuries.
