Next season : Mon Jul 14, 2014 7:09 pm  

Looking ahead to next season. It looks like its going to be difficult for us remaining part time. London, Bradford, Leigh have already announced goin to be full time (not sure about Fev).
Obviously these full time teams will be able to attract best players dropping down from super league and best players in championship.
Not to mention the fitness, recovery time, and extra training.


I am worried the gap will widen even further and we will be lagging behind the full time teams.
I know we will be competitive but will crowds improve if we are just making up the numbers.
Hope I am proved wrong but promotion looks to be along term dream at the moment unless things change.

No disrespect, but I can't even think about next season.
Still a long way to go THIS season.

It's the recovery time that's a huge benefit.

Also it depends on the squad of each particular club. Crap full time players are exactly that - crap. Full time players who are just passing time and cashing a pay cheque are also a burden. I think Leigh will be up here. I think London too (their millionaire backer hasn't left yet). The rest? Not sure. Recruitment is just around the corner....

At least there not playing the big teams anymore for example vauxhall motors and dartford dynamos. And remember all the town fans were going mental at that time because that they were beating these quality teams 2-1 and sometimes 3-1 . (On topic so I'm not barred ) let's worry about this year first and once this years over then next year and so on

Would not worry about 2015 just yet - may be we are looking at going Full Time , as for Bulls they are skint whats Marc Green actually done there? , Bronco's Skint , Leigh who have they signed players they've got and a big name whose getting past it? Fev are in turmoil too - so just a case of wait and see - Worrying about tomorrow spoils today.
