I think john Bastian will next out.some real talent from the academy as been snapped up by super league clubs and there's more doing deals this week.to my knowledge none of the boys have been contacted about re-signing yet.strange when the new owners talk of the great strength of the academy.

Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I just think that for many, the penny hasn't dropped yet. THIS time around, we died. Sure there are some apparent connections - for example presumably we have a similar millstone lease, and repairs obligations, as the last lot - but THIS time the shiit finally really DID hit the fan, and we haven't even started wiping it off the walls yet.

I'm guessing it may be half way through the season before we are even at the stage of having anything like a squad, let alone a settled team, which is frankly unlikely to happen at all this year. (Playing repeatedly the only 17 non-disabled males on your books every week doesn't count).

By then, we'll be the whipping boys of the division, hopelessly adrift, and there will be no respite till this time next year. We should be either sitting this year out or in C1 but the RFL want the new club to take a kicking just so their fixture list isn't inconvenienced. Get used to that. Get used to being viewed as a bye.

So no I'm not becoming less inspired, I have never been remotely inspired in the first place. I don't see how without spending very big and very fast (which was never remotely a possibility) ANYONE could get out of where we are now other than via the unpalatable pain of a truly disastrous 12 months. As they say, it is what it is, but maybe what "it is" hasn't fully sunk in yet with a lot of our fans who have become accustomed to escaping in reasonable health by the skin of our teeth. They need to get that this really did not happen this time round, we were right royally fscked over and we really are starting from ground zero.

It is ludicrous and, honestly, a bit mad, by Wednesday morning to be "losing patience". Set your realism and expectation level knobs accordingly and your life will be better.'"


Very true. Which is why its mystifying that Lowe & Chalmers have taken it on.

Quote: Bullseye "Cheers FA.

My issue is that with the approach you’ve set out the club will be lucky to see 2018.'"


But I haven't set out an approach, I'm just pointing out what I think is the obvious there's a a heap of ash and cinders, and phoenixes aren't real.

The other half of my brain irritatingly continues as I've said before to cling on to what seems to me to be the fact that there must be a reason Chalmers and Lowe have done this, i.e. they at least privately must have some plan, because the sudden involvement of two guys from across the globe and passing the RFL exam just doesn't make much sense to me at all but why would they get involved knowing where we are if genuinely they had no plan nor means to carry it out.

I'm fscked if I know what it is though.

It be at least 2 years before we know whether these guys are the real deal, or another Marc Green.

Marc Green came in and was impressive in his communication with fans. Half way through 2015, he was doing a great job. Just short of 10k crowd against Leigh, the academy was one of envy of a many SL clubs, and we had more businesses than ever before signing up, hospitality always full. The problems quickly started to during 2016.

We'll know more where we are in a month regarding a setup of the team, coach and possible academy. This isn't like our previous admins where someone takes over and just carries on. We are starting from scratch.
