Doesn't surprise me, would love to see him with us at some point though.

So would I
Looks like he’ll get a good gig somewhere in the NRL sooner rather than later (given how many coaches there are under pressure of being sacked).

Just hope Lasty, Purtill and Ellis can make a go of it. Hopefully they’ll take the opportunity, change our dour style and we won’t have to go to the expense of looking elsewhere.

Leeds reckon they'll lose £4m in the next 2 years.

Blast! They’ll never get the away support covered over.

Maybe contracts on hold whilst rumours of AP wanting out/selling the club/already sold the club etc. Are either extinguished or proven to be correct.

Wouldn't be surprised. Dire financial situation but would be amazed if anyone had the appetite or cash to buy us tbh. Unless we're being given away. Merger anyone? The silence from the club has been deafening over the last few weeks.

AP says if we can get the right amount of pass holders, we will be able to recruit.

What number might that be, 25k?

Where did AP say that? All I've seen is basically the opposite.

Positive from Pearson despite the situation.

Only sees Ratu and Kelly leaving. Who s wages will cover some damage.

Personally I'd rather see Carlos at halfback at least he has a running game to complement Sneyd.

Interesting on Jones. I'd hazard a guess at its a wait n see if anybody can stump up a fee.

Good Pearsons mentioned potential recruitment, and even overseas signings depending on income, not the end of the world if we add a few domestic signings.

Nice to hear some news
