If we work on the basis that this terse exit is all in order and not a bit childish, I assume we have been sounding out options. Does anyone know exactly when we have to tell the RFL we can’t meet our commitments to complete a season. I assume we are signing no one. I assume we have nowhere to play. I assume we are doing nothing about engagement, comms, season ticket prices etc. in other words what has happened is akin to an insolvency/gone bust situation rather than a mature passing of the baton. I think it’s reasonable to call that a dummy spit. I don’t know why the official statement didn’t have a heading ‘are you happy now IMG you have killed all our hopes and a picture of a crying child’ I really do think this is a shabby way to go about things.
I’d expect if we don’t hear something within next couple of weeks that is that. Even if we do it’s pretty obvious that next season is likely to be a shambles where we struggle to avoid relegation to L1. So that’s hardly building on the work done (finally) to do some effective engagement with fan base. Crazy, crazy way to go about things but they’re we are.
