No not Clare and Mellor but I certainly agree with you.

I would of thought every player in the squad would of asked his agent to of got the feelers out by now. You would think players like Leon, Moss, OB, Chisholm etc will get a club pretty quickly even at this late stage but your average squad member, which every team has and needs, will find it a bit harder to get fixed up with only a month to go before the season starts

Utter disgrace

Utter disgrace about sums it up. I hope everyone involved is pleased with themselves.

Re-reading the statement again it's almost Green-esque...

I can do this, you're ungrateful, your not pulling your weight, if you had your Christmas drinks in the coral stand this wouldn't have happened, why should I tell you anything? You've forced me to speak, ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

Clare HAS GONE, Mellor will be next I would presume as he is capable of playing Super League. As you said a lot of the players will find it hard to get a gig at another club as most clubs will have spent up to their budgets by now. You are definitely right in that it's a total disgrace.

Must admit, I've been told the same. He'll be playing over in a borough of Wigan in 2017.

Correct

Yes I've heard that about Clare as well.

I believe Leigh are dual reg with Sheffied next season, Leigh have a squad of approx 40 players. They must of heard that having a squad so big is the way forward

Is that just the first person to jump ship before a mass exodus, even if there is a club to leave in the first place?

I can't say I blame the players, every right to seek new employment with the way this administration has played out, I'm more surprised we still have half the players.

Makes you think though that whilst we are so desperate to keep the club due to the promising look of our team and academy for the upcoming season, whether how long the administration has dragged on with the players being treated like they have no business to know what's happening, how many of these players will be there still

What I confess I find hard to understand is how the administrator, according to his own statement, had two or three "really good bids" at one point, then after the very best of those, indeed his 'preferred bid', out of those, "really good bids" comes to an agreement with the RFL and goes back to Pettit, he decides it's not good enough. How can that be?

Agree it seemed very strange, unless maybe he knew there was a better deal waiting in the background and decided to go for that!! Lets hope. Smoke and mirrors.
