Looks like Parcell is looking to stay in SL next season. Would have been a far better option than Cust in my opinion..

At hooker definitely but if we're looking for cover for half back he'd have been no use. Neither will cust, of course, if he can't stay fit

Rumours are that Wakey offered him a 3 year deal. If that’s the case, no chance I’d go near him.

I believe Cust is a one year filler whilst Balmforth comes through. Perfect for us and gives us a full season to consider how those that quota spot moving forward

Potential new member of backroom staff?

Reads like he could pick and choose where he wants to go, says he served his notice period. If he was coming to FC, I’m sure it would have spilled out by one of the in the knows.

Interesting interview with Marc Sneyd, regarding his departure... https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/marc-sne ... ons-95304/ “I had one year left on my contract at Hull and I think it was very early November. We were still off for pre-season and had two weeks left,” Sneyd said while speaking on the Trot The Egg In podcast. “I was on holiday with the family, we were in Tenerife or somewhere. Ian Blease has belled me, which he did anyway as we always kept in touch. He asked me if I would be interested and I said ‘yeah, potentially, but let me have my holiday and I’ll get back to you when I get back’. I phoned him when I got back and asked him what was going on and he said Salford were willing to give me a three-year deal. “At the time I was 30 and in my head I was thinking not many 30-year-olds were getting three-year deals so I went in and spoke to Hull. I was still happy at Hull, I absolutely loved it. I spoke to the chief executive James Clark at Hull and I asked him if they were giving contract extensions out as I only had a year left and I told him about the offer from Salford for three years. “I told James if Hull couldn’t give me an extension then I couldn’t really turn down the offer. It was three years security and there was a bonus of being able to move back to Oldham. “They were incredible with me at Hull, they said they were not 100 per cent sure. It was a transitional period and all that and they were unsure what was going on and I told them I fully got it. “But, Hull told me I couldn’t say no to a three-year deal. We shook hands and left on really good terms and that was that – I was training at Salford two days later.”

It was the right decision for the club and Sneyd for him to go, he was poor the two seasons before, the issue was Clarke just let him go without any thought process, if we had replaced Sneyd with someone like Clifford it would have been fine.

Poor from Clarke, I hope we don't make the same error with Trueman
