From not 606 HCAFC site. Also heard Mike Ashley going after HCAFC once Newcastle deal sorted. The latter came from my son.

Hardly convincing, his name is mentioned once by a guy call Wildie.

Hope it's true, mind.

Normally we wait until December for the annual recycling of this rumour. Still, he's worth £200m or something. Let's keep this nonsense going.

People may mock but I think this rumour has legs. At least that's what Tony Larvin told me when I was talking to him in Pounstretchers.

Such fun! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theoli ... -club/amp/ In all seriousness though, who would entertain buying a RL club right now? Also on the ISC point, is Lee Jenkinson still in charge of Elite Pro Sports? He had an old Hull FC training top on on Insta this week.

Did a great job for us for quite a few years IIRC. Just wondering whether they might be able to support with the loss of ISC. Not a top priority right now but shirt income is a big revenue stream

Everyone fit, what's your side for the first game. Same really tough decisions.

It would make the Allams staying seem like a bonus to City fans!

It is difficult, especially the wingers but I think I'd go

Shaul
Naulago
Tuimavave
Griffin
Fonua
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Satae
Jones
Ma'u
Sao

Connor
Bowden
Savelio
Ellis

Tough on Faraimo who has shown loyalty but Naulago just offers that X Factor. I'd keep Connor on the bench, Griffin was our form player pre-lockdown and Tuimavave is our best centre.

A tough few decisions ahead, we know Naulago and Kelly are going, do we use them or use the side we are likely to have next season, with no P&R (as yet unconfirmed, but what I expect) and no clarity for the CC getting going again not easy, also Ellis, should we start getting the replacements playing? Is Jones staying, Houghton, Shaul....?

I know AP said he thought only Albert and Ratu are leaving, but nothing is signed and sealed on the others (that we know of)
