Anyone managed to read the interview with DB this week? I'm planning to get a copy today, but was wondering what fans thought, if they'd read it. https://www.totalrl.com/whats-inside-le ... h-edition/

He’s mainly talking about creating a hybrid team of part time /full time players next season to have a go for SL again.

All depending on who is relegated and he is keeping an eye on the Salford situation.

Some talk of development but nothing of any real substance as yet.

So atomic he basically said what I been saying for last couple of months about having a go next season again for SL

Well the interview isn’t very clear to be honest in one breath yes he’s having another go and the next it’s dependent on who is relegated.
Either way he is willing to finance next season again, which is the main bonus.

He pre-emptied this article when giving Jack Dearden an interview live at the LSV on Radio Manchester before the match.

I like what he done this season buying a decent semi pro side had a few big names nothing daft then have a go at super league can always add if needed part way through the season. We added a few great additions mid season this season

Thanks for the 'heads-up'. I've managed to buy a copy, out in the sticks here, and have read it. I agree with your summing up of the interview.

I think a combination of quality part time and full pro-players is the way to go for us next season. I believe JD has shown he can gel a team and create spirit in very difficult circumstance this year, and I believe that he is exactly the type of person we need in charge with a blended pro/part time squad.
We have the foundation of a good team, a great coach and a team playing with pride and heart. A few quality additions (part time and or pro) will make us a real contender for top spot.
