Tbh Ross is an average Joe type player, lower league journeyman.
It shows how far we ve fallen when we are upset by losing him.
Don't get me wrong appears a great guy and gave his best whilst here

Would you stay with an employer that treated you like this?

I wouldn’t. Always enjoyed seeing Peltier play and he gave his best.

I reckon he’ll be really good for Doncaster.

Yeah course they did Doncaster offered him a real contract paying real terms. We offered him fresh air and good intentions along with a promise to make pension contributions that haven’t been made for 3 years.

It probably shows we have a budget and we are sticking to it. At least we are offering contacts.

Im not sure how Bradford could be offering contracts. It can't be a legally binding document when there is no way the RFL are going to sanction it so no player in their right mind would be talking to Bradford about re-neweing their contracts.

... and the masses complain that we are negative and scurrilous, and allege that we don't want the new consortium (assuming they do ever step in) to succeed.

You appear to be of a similar ilk Greg, and in all likelihood you are merely being realistic mate.

For the record we maintain that CB is a good bloke and a proven numbers man, but is we fear likely to prove to be the right man for the wrong job.

That’s what I said. We’re still in special measures so aren’t able offer anybody anything.

Also true, and far more succinct than our customary semi-rants.

Contracts are contracts. The Rfl have no control over whether contracts are offered or not. They can only register them, or refuse to register them. Of the players who are out of contract in 5 weeks time, I assume the ones we want to keep will know the terms that are on offer once (if) Special measures are lifted. I also assume they’ll be looking to see what is on offer elsewhere. They then have a decision to make
