I was assuming Keighley would be strapped for cash and not a threat next season but this perhaps suggests otherwise. Maybe there are a few teams who recognise that next season is their best chance of going up as 2021 could be very tough when New York and Ottawa hit the scene. Here's a link to the Keighley site, confirming the signing, along with some other news. They appear to have tried to sign Keegan Hirst too... https://www.keighleynews.co.uk/sport/17954464.oneill-bulls-ace-jake-webster-joins-cougars-major-coup/

There may be more than Josh Rickett leaving !

Probably, I’ve not based it on whose left there though

It looks as though Andrew Charmers has gambled the bulls future on an instant return to SL and failure has put the club back in deep do do

By the looks of things there could be quite a few players released to cut costs.

Keighley look to have swooped on this with the signing of Jake Webster on a two year deal.

Webster seems to be the only proven high quality player in their squad but with the likes of Kez and a couple more signings they may make the top five .
Could their season hinge on Webster ripping in, or him going through the motions for an easy payday in league 1 as he is no spring chicken.

Newcastle were good in part because they had the two ex Sheffield stars.
Couple that with BB, who I rate as well, they will be better than us unless we do something.
Don't worry ... we won't disappoint.
