It's not looking good over at odsal which players would you take to add to the squad if you could pick any of them.
I would go for
Adam o Brian
Ben kav
Ethan Ryan
Nathan moss
Dane Chisholm

Do we've have the money to be able to afford any of them if we wanted them anyway?

O Brien would be good, can't see the aussies staying over here if they go bust

Obrien and Kav would both be great for us and also realistic as they both live in Halifax.

I heard we had chance to sign AOB last season before he signed his contract extension but RM turned down any move saying he was happy with what we had. We could probably get him cheaper than some of their other players but to be honest theres not many of them that would be realistic that I think we would go for.

I know its sneaky but a little bit of money offered to the administrator for certain players would probably get accepted. I still remember the vultures circling when we were getting relegated so alls fair and all that.

Why pay any money, if the rumours are true that they haven't been paid in December doesn't that make them free agents?

But to be honest I can't see many sides in the championship having the ability to afford them, maybe London, Toulouse and Hull KR.

Very true Dave, anyway all the best for Fev in 2017, will see you at the Shay for the first game of the Season,I will send ya a PM.

Fax "should" have some spare funding for a player or two, but any deal has to be of mutual benefit to both parties. If any players come available, then I'm sure other clubs will have been looking and ready to put bids in with their agents, but tbh we need to see how things conclude with the Bulls first.

Looking forward to the season starting.

In effect we should have the money originally put aside for Manning but, due to the state of the clubs finances, it would seem more prudent to keep hold of it unless we were able to get a good replacement.

James clare just signed for leigh as his future was uncertain. No fee mentioned but as the players were not paid last week tbe office staff have started seeking new emoyment only fair the players do.

Im not sure missing a pay roll will make them free agents to be honest maybe if its missed a few times but at the end of the day those players will need to earn money and most will have to take a pay cut or even go part time. To be fair though some of them were stealing a living from the Bulls last season anyway.

It doesn't look like Leigh and Huddersfield have paid any fees for Welham or Clare respectively. And O'Brian rumoured to be going next.

Dave apparently we have signed Clare, but no official announcement has been made yet.

must all be free agents now
