Maybe because he has been offered to play at a slightly higher level his contract allows him to leave Keighley if the offer comes up.
I’m sure all players have a clause to allow them to leave if a higher league club wants them.

Good point, but it appeared he was simply released with Finny saying this: "We’ve been keeping an eye on Charlie and what’s been going on with him so when he became available, we moved pretty quickly to get him in. "

We have signed Francois Dorce Hantz

Clears throat , does a little cough , raise one eyebrow roger mooreesq, picks up the teachers apple and breathes on it , rubs it on his lapel grabs his coat and walks off into the sunset .

So it’s finally over the line and explains why he was first seen at the club get together members thingy whatever it was called a few weeks back and in the training ground picture previously posted.

Looks like the other union fly half guy isn’t staying.

Maxime rostog is still here but only 19 , not sure on his signature but highly rated in local spheres as is Francois hantz

And that’s the reason I was wondering if he would not be staying.

Been here the same time as Hantz but not yet offered a spot which for Fax you would have thought would be in the halves where we already have 3 and how he would get a chance to show anything.

Still think we might need another centre especially if you take the Leeds lad out and maybe another prop especially if Hantz turns out to be pantz.

Faxcar -He must be half decent, he’s played for France u19 and was selected in elite championships 2021 best players to play against Catalan dragons along with jouffret and tony Gigot amongst others.

Was actually thinking about the charlie graham loan deal , completely forgot about will maher being on loan there , don’t know how the loan market works if it’s paid monthly or for the year but essentially they probably cancel each other out meaning we’ve got him for nowt along with two trialists where you bypass visa costs and salaries. This sounds like croad magic, three players for the price of none , bravo .

Hantz needs to be given a chance to show what he can do and in the past and currently some players who are actually signed on haven’t exactly been given a lot of game time and he’s just 28 days to do it in, maybe it will be Barrow away and or Whitehaven.

Brilliant Faxcar .

Would be another good signing and should prove to be better than any prop that we have available.

In other news Fev in a spot of bother facing a winding up petition presuming its to do with those previously unpaid players contracts especially with it kicking off on Twitter again with ex-players saying they still have not been paid. What a strange year in the Championship.

I’m sure they’ll pull through and get past this challenge as they have done before, in one of the reports it mentions that since Nov 2014 to July 2017 they faced 7 other W’O’s all of which were thrown out.

Just shows that even the better supported, better backed clubs can and are facing some tough tests along with the rest of us and once the IMG and reduced central funding effects really start to kick in we could easily see the “pack of cards” effect.”

Ultimately regardless of any rivalries it’s beneficial for all clubs to be strong in championship, the img malarkey is just a re hash of the old licensing debacle and some clubs may go to the wall , in any normal sport Featherstone would have been automatically promoted as champions with the other clubs playing in a playoff for the remaining promotion spot . I’m completely disinterested in superleague so much so at Wembley last year didn’t even watch the challenge cup with any interest whatsoever .
I remember as a younger man being barred from bar centro by dalli whiley ( 1998 World Cup ) for wearing an England shirt ( that was a stupid rule too ) not been back in since . Same rule applies to super league .
