Most are 17 or 18, there are a few others who should be given more of a chance, Staverley, Balmforth and Litten (at full back), but we prefer to play the likes of Shaul, Houghton, Evans, Lovodua and Lane.

Not we as supporters
Smith
I just wonder if the other members of the coaching staff actually have a view or voice.
Gene will obviously side with Smith as Smith wanted someone loyal and that means to me do as i say but surely there are others who should voice an opinion.

Shaul, McNamara, Lane, Fash, Houghton, Litten and Gardiner. And obviously the 4 in your squad too.

So four actually played in the match. KR Academy provided half that number for the FC side. Not bad for a club that does not produce any SL players.

It’s subjective but I doubt it. Probably won’t even be informative for me. Even people who can read them say stuff like ‘it is hard to tell with abridged accounts’.

Nearly all SL clubs run at a loss, not least St Helens (in recent years at least) the supposed example to others. Everybody spends more than they have because they’re chasing others doing the same. Sometimes the money runs out and clubs have to tighten their belts or if they don’t/can’t they go bust. S’only interesting if it affects the game.

I mean, Rovers almost went bust over something like £500k (I can’t remember exactly but it was a lot less than £7.8m). I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve more debt now than when the Sharks went to the wall or when Pearson rescued you. Yet here we are, you thinking a spell in the lower leagues mightn’t be so bad and me now paranoid about how many commas I use.

I mean, if nothing else we find out how much you paid for the ground last year.

There is that, I suppose. It’ll be included, will it? As a single, explicit, unambiguous number?

I don’t mean this as either an insult or compliment to your profession, but it feels like some effort and expertise goes into yielding a minimum of information in these things and producing something that is as opaque as is compliantly possible. Is that one of those ‘well… ye-uh’ things?

Well, the cost of the purchase will need to be shown in the tangible fixed assets note under land and buildings additions. So, yes, I think so

You’ll see what a good deal they got off Hull CC

Have you an opinion on the financial aspect of the club?Would you care to comment on financial statistics?
Summary:

Loss for the year c650k
Cash erosion c400k
New borrowing c500k
Technically insolvent
Cash run rate <12m
Liquidity ratio c0.44 (excluding accrued income)

Note that Tax creditor has jumped significantly which could indicate entering into a TTP arrangement with HMRC

Liquidity ratio excluding accrued income, I’m on tenterhooks.

In the meantime, I looked up what tenterhooks are. So now I know. Didn’t look up liquidity ratio or cash run rate though.

So Savelio was dropped based on performance levels so far according to Smith Seems mind blowing to me that he drops Savelio who has been one of the better performers (even after coming straight back in from injury) to bring back Lane who is & was dreadful and has been for a long while now. I get that he is trying to mix things up to see who is up to the task but think it’s been clear the majority ain’t going to change anytime soon. Think it’s time to he gave Staveley an opportunity. There are players still getting played that should never wear the shirt again and players sat on the sidelines that at the very least give their all when they do play. If Smith is trying to get a reaction then why not drop the lazy b@5tard5 instead and play the players that at least play like they give a 5h!t
