Mark Lawn has just been on the radio saying he's involved in the process to get the club.

Interesting to learn that the players found out about the Liquidation by a tweet from radio Leeds after Stuart Duffy leaked the news. Players and RFL not happy about this because everyone was under strict instructions not to leak the information.

Could have done with some Green Shield ones.

What does it matter? It's a bit like the Kremlin keeping quiet about Chernobyl.

New kits had already been delivered to the club. I asked in the shop

But that was for the old club. Those kit are covered in sponsorship that a new owner wouldn't have to honor and could go looking elsewhere for to help fund the club.
Send them to Marc Green.

So it seems to be all the rumoured bidders from before. Glad in some ways that none of them wanted to give Greene a penny.

Not all players. Just like today with the meetings with the RFL there's meetings taking place all week between the RFL welfare officers and players-staff to financially assist them. Bravo to RL Cares for paying the wages.

Seeing all the players starting to sign for other clubs is the hardest part of this situation. Obviously I am glad they are getting fixed up with new jobs and they can start to look forward but from a fans perspective we are having to sit and watch the heart being ripped out of the carcass of what once was our club.

I'm not sure how I'm going to watch rugby again now as I don't particularly want to watch all our former players doing great for other teams when we never got to see our 2017 team once on the field.

I guess the only way is to wait for a new club to be formed and then just get behind it wholeheartedly and just try and ignore everything that the other clubs and players are doing.

It's hitting me a lot harder today than yesterday that's for sure.

Yes agreed. It's a good job someone cares.
