Press conference on Friday will announce Brian Mclennan as head coach. Brian wants to retain Chev Walker and obviously the youth coaching staff. Duffy and Tasker will take care of everything else with a new General Manager coming in ex Wakefield.

Might sound far fetched but it is the kind of coup the new owners need to get everyone excited and demonstrate ambition.

I suppose you could argue that landlords have a duty to ensure that their properties are fit for their tenants and that means keeping up to required standards (in this case their own I'd guess) so actually taking money from central funding to do that could still be spun as a penalty?

I hate most of what is going on, but if we remain the RFL's favourites, being preferred over and above every other club, due to our iconic status, then that will amply do for me. As long as we remain at this pinnacle, I'll gladly take the flak and wear the hairshirt.

The longer this exodus of players and coaching staff go's on the more sick i am starting to feel with the season a few weeks away

This would be same chev walker who announced his departure last night?. quick change of heart if true.

More rubbish. I've already had to ban someone for publishing inaccurate rumours. This causes an unbelievable amount of upset for people who's livelihoods are at risk at the moment.

In the normal scheme of things I'd let it slide but this isn't a normal situation.
