Panthers Facebook Fans Forum posting we’ve missed out on another attempt at refreshing the squad with Bradford again offering more for York’s Ronan Michael.

No first hand knowledge of this as I’ve stoped asking but shame if true as he would have added some punch.

It is disappointing to have missed out on a number of targets but at least it shows the club are trying to address some of our weak spots while working within our budget. I think someone mentioned a centre from Swinton which we missed out on to Fev Jayden Hatton i think his name was.

He was a right handful in the first 15 minutes at the Shay when he got subbed after which York seemed to lose their forward momentum.

Leeds are releasing Corey Johnson. Don't think he's super league standard but very good at our level so wouldn't mind him here permanently. Unless Bradford sign him up first of course.

Noticed same article said Hudson had already been released earlier from his contract but still none the wiser as to if he’s still with us.

No point talking about recruitment at the moment.

Finn now been reported by MG to be leaving to join Giants but he does say it’s the end of the seasons without the “ if we get there “.

Would we be disappointed? I think I would have liked to have seen a second season but with disorder behind the scenes, can't really blame him for taking on another, arguably better opportunity. If true, would much prefer someone without fax connections.

Murrell maybe .

Will be really tough to get interest in the job with what has gone on and the squad for next season. Id love for Muzza and Tyrer to come back but they would be pretty stupid to do that with what they are currently doing.

In our situation I think John Kear would be ideal. Dan Fleming stated he's one best coaches he's played under and the most honest, and that's what the club needs at the moment.

This is a rebuild job. It will be moneyball style of underrated value and building decent player value proposition to get them to come. I look at what Coleman has done at Widnes this year. I think Kear's time has gone maybe. Bit of a relic to the ghosts of coaching past.

Just another mess and bad timing if true and there’s not another trap door waiting to fall through with any new coach being tied to a shoestring budget, who we retain from what we have now and the new rumoured incomings that Finn was going to bring in.

Definately..same sh!!t different year but still have a team to support(or criticise..! ).

My thinking behind Kear is that we can forget being competitive with the top for the next couple of years whilst this mess and the Shay are sorted out so it's a case of trying to stay up (assuming we don't get relegated this season) and I think Kear can achieve that the cheapest.
