Yes agree fanfaxtic, if RM doesn't know where the bits that need fixing are by now after the 8s and pre season he never will. I am really hope that he learnt from 2015/16 season where by the time he realised we needed the cavalry over the hill the battle was lost.

I will hold my powder though until I see the team sheet.

My only message would be is pick the best team from everyone available to you in order to win , not one that if it doesn't work then you will then bring in the cavalry when points and the money has long gone.

Looks like we really do have no money when Sheffield can gazump us!
Like I have said before a long hard season is in prospect for us I am afraid especially with no decent half back what is RM thinking????

Rugby League has had it's day in this Town. And this is down to the administrators at the top, SKY TV and the local populace generally not taking to the Sport. Those that do enjoy sport in general, you'll find in the pub watching it.

That is the sorry state of affairs. If we did achieve Super League somehow, our fanbase would be similar to Salfords, which will not break the club even.

Ken Davy has tried everything with Huddersfield. They won the LLS a few years back, and still the ground is more than three quarters empty.

Wigan, Leeds, Saints, Warrington. The rest, I don't know how they balance the books

I think its pretty easy to see the teams failings, we are very good in defence but we score less points than anyone else around us. Unfortunately nothing has changed in key positions to see that change this season so unless we can get players in key positions from Cas we had better hope our defence is as good this year. For those moaning about Cas sending players elsewhere its really not like those 3 are the only decent players that Cas will have available just take a look at their squad.

Gary Lo was always going back to Sheffield, when cas signed him the agreement was he couldn’t go to any other championship team but Sheffield. Can’t argue about it and moan as co tractual obligations are being stuck to.

Do these sort of clauses even exist and if so why ? when you sign a player he's yours to do as you wish... #### his previous club.

It was part of him being released from his contract with Sheffield. They hold the cards so can ask for what they wanted.

Something we shouldn’t have done with Rawsthorne last year, Hull got him for nowt and now he’s out at Toronto, we got nowt.

Signed for fev for the "forseeable future" whatever that means

Loan rules are pretty standard - 28 days minimum for each new loan (or renewed one after the previous one has lapsed), then week-to-week with a 24-hour recall clause after the 28 days are up.

With Green playing at Fax on DR and Clark at Fev, will be interesting to see who is higher up the pecking order at Cas once Clark's initial 28-day loan is over.

Either way, I'd still love Greg Florimo's Boots to tell us which 4 Fax props/available Cas props are better than Clark, but both he and his TotalRL alter ego seem to have left the building, which is genuinely a shame.

Tangata,Springer,Green and Foster.

We may not be anywhere near the salary cap, but we may be at the top of what we can pay out. I understand that two players salaries are already being paid by sponsorship deals from Mr Turner and Mr Posner. Given that the club are attempting to break even this season under the new Board, perhaps we simply couldn't afford his wages or find a sponsor willing to be generous enough to cover the costs.

Tangata wasn't available at the time the discussion was ongoing and still hasn't returned. The three Cas lads have played once each for you and were always far from certain to have been available on a regular basis, whereas you probably could have had Clark every week, and he's definitely an upgrade on some of the guys you have been starting.

He's had a huge impact in the games he's featured for fev this year.
In a good season so far he's probably been the stand out prop.
