Championship clubs have started signing players for next year and plenty of rumours flying around about Halifax departures.

Lannon to Widnes and Keyes to Bulls are 2 I've seen mentioned.

Would be gutted with that if true but can't blame them from wanting out of a club in freefall.

Players sign for other clubs from may onwards and still have a duty to their current club ie Brandon Douglas who aston decided to announce last year before our challenge cup game with Sheffield. The information shouldn’t be leaked by so called journalists with agendas

Happy croad is involved, usually does well with restricted budgets.

As in all walks of life, it's allus gone on. It just wasn't all over social media then.

Players signing for other clubs before the current season has ended is bonkers - does soccer do it? I cannot understand why the October to February end of season window isn't long or good enough for players to sort out future contracts.

I agree, but even if was ruled out by the RFL/SL, clubs and players would still do it. They twist far bigger rules and get away with it after all, don't they?
