Well im sure if we keep shipping players out and not replacing them in vital positions season tickets will remain the same. No increase.

You have to ship out before you can ship in. Basic economics Lampy.

How many we shipped out? And how many have we signed? I've lost track

I don't mind a bit of speculation, but I do wish it could be done without the edge of hysteria that often creeps in; the latest being that Mathers is not being retained and because an announcement has not been made about a replacement, we'll start 2015 with no fb. That's despite the fact that the current season is not yet over, we could be talking to any number of players, and we have several options already signed up who would be capable fb's.

Calm down kids - and accept that like RA before him, JW has absolutely no incentive to do anything other than use the funds MC has made available to get the best team he can out on the park; and if he needs the help of anyone on here in making those decisions, I'm sure he'll ask.

Rumour on the Bulls board that Walshaw may have signed for them

Wouldn't blame him for going, but I think he's selling himself short if he does drop down a level, albeit potentially for a year or so.

Possibly but he's been to Donny and Dewsbury in the last couple of years.
At least if he goes to the Bulls permanently, he knows where he stands, with a better chance of coming back into Super League.

I suppose if Bradford are offering more money too it makes sense.

The same could be said of Kay.
Get away with paying them a low contract, then when it comes to renewal their agent asks for more and we lose out.
Anakin will be next if he is not offered improved terms before the end of next year.

I'm sure JW knows the players he wants and hopefully he will get them. I was hoping, probably naively that there would not be a wholesale change of staff for next season but it looks like there will be.
I'm concerned we are losing senior players like Mathers, Moore, Raleigh and less senior but no less important TT. I don't have a clue about the finances presumably that had to do with some of the leavers but it looks like a team build again for next season.
Clearly Hall and Ashurst are quality, I don't know about Simon but I will assume he fills Raleigh's spot. Just need a fullback now and two explosive props of the same or better quality than Moore and Tautai and the ST may increase.
