On another thing, I know for a fact the Dobbins are really unhappy about Walker leaving after they'd supported him legally.

No way? Not seen anything about that at all. You'd think grudgell would be bleating in the media about it constantly

No I don't think they have G and it really has all gone quiet although to almost reaffirm that signings are afoot in his letter to season ticket holders which arrived last Friday Adam does say (after he discusses our new signings)that there are there new arrivals "...as well as the potential for further signings in the coming weeks!" Unusually the Club is either really water tight with regard to information getting out or it might be that getting sorted with players moving out to accommodate signings is taking some time or that the deals have stagnated or even fallen through.

I think we may see a couple of shocks when players moving out are announced

I'm sure Mr Hudgell will succeed - he "earned" £4m from the NHS alone last year (allegedly).

His company accounts certainly show a healthy profit

A lot of moves on the go this week.

Catalan have had a big clear out and have released Carney and Taylor in addition to Escare going to Wigan, so thats a massive chunk of Salary Cap freed up for them. They've also booted out the Director Of Rugby, Assistant Coach and Fitness coach! and signed Luke Burgess.

Tommy Lee's gone to Saints, Warrington have signed Crosby & Savelio from Wigan & Saints.

Nothing that instantly means transfer news for us, but it frees up cap space for other teams to sign players and start the game of Chess going.

... not sure if it is, the only 2 companies being bought are
Hull City Tigers Limited, (company registered number 4032392) and Superstadium Holdings Limited, (6181187).

SMC owes Mr Allam about £11m.
