well done on sundays win that was a super last 20 mins football from your guys .if i were you i wouldnt be too worried about other championship clubs picking up your blokes by offering them better money or deals as there are very very few championship clubs who arent on their backsides financially, and there is still much that can happen before another ball is kicked in anger .I know that for example leigh and barrow who are two of the more stable clubs are chopping dramaticly their playing budget for next year and featherstone are looking to be more prudent than they have been lately so there are not going to be any large contracts passing about for any players in the championship anywhere . word on the street is that there may be as many as five of the current clubs not in the championship next season with two virtually as good as gone now .These are times that are much more difficult financialy for all the clubs than most people seem to realise , the game is totally skint at our level .

Which street are you walking and how can i get this inside knowledge !!! I Wouldn't mind kjnowing which teams you are on about !

I would say Whitehaven and Keighley are as good as gone from the Championship

Just one year, no option. He wants to stay but the club have been reluctant to sort out a new deal due to financial restraints. Lets hope after Sunday they spoke to him straight away and that Danny Jones isnt a replacement for him, Dont get me wrong Jones is decent but Branno is top quality and top quality Stand Offs are hard to find at this level.

If your serious about SL maybe as your club says put this 100k to some practical long term use? Sort out any monies lost through various things let a few leave and start looking towards youth and marketing etc etc.

nah... we'll do all that with the winnings from next yrs NRC and GF
