Contracts mean nowt, Barlow is contracted to us...is he playing for us.....no.

Contracts mean nowt nowadays.

Unless we agreed to release him.

No sherlock, he doesn't want to play for us so we cant force him using his contract, so has the contract he signed for us with worked, no.

He made his mind up he didn't want to play for us and we loaned him out.

Yep the same one that looked a cut above any of our playmakers last Wednesday playing on one leg. Penky on one of his off days is still better that what we have in that position this year when they have their best day.

There's certainly no doubt in my mind that we would be top with Penky AND Murrell in the side. I've lost count of how many matches were won by Penky - either by try scoring or coming on and totally changing the game.

No details in this weeks press on signings except to say that Halifax's recruitment drive is well underway.

The link to Mennel is there again saying he is close to agreeing deal.

Unfortunately he has just dislocated his shoulder so have to be carefull on that one as they can be difficult to recover from depending on the damage and a scan is planned on that front.

I understand Tommy Saxton, Liam Finn, Gareth Potts & Paul Mennell have signed for next season?

I don't think it's a secret,
If it is I apologise to my source,

I guess you could class Finn as a secret because just the other week he was on Radio Leeds saying he still had a year on his contract and was looking forward to been at Fev next year under the new coach.

And Manchester Unt said Rooney is not for sale, Liverpool, Spurs, etc,

I understand Finn is joining us?
I might be wrong.

Out of respect for Liam Finn, I think we should allow him to enjoy his testimonial at Featherstone, he's a worthy recipient in my opinion & he's been a pleasure to watch for a number of years, albeit for one of our fiercest rivals, but that's how it's supposed to be. The same names keep cropping up regarding next season's signings as per my usual sources, time will tell am sure.

Anyways, I had a great day out at Elland rd on saturday a last gasp winner, a full house, just like the good old days, oh and now that Bates has been despatched a cheaper price on the ticket stubs. Lessons for everyone there.
