Next season would a squad of full time and part time players work? The better full time players can be retained and the club could look at signing up the more seasoned part time players who wouldnt consider a full time contract.
Could a training sessions be arranged around both groups of players.
We also have the option of signing an available player through the season who may want to go full time or part time around there personal circumstances.

Positives, better part time players available, cheaper contracts


Negatives, disrupted team practice, down the slippy slope of part time we never come back from

When we first went 'full time' there were a couple of part timers then, people who were good rugby players but who were towards the end of their rugby days or were on too good a wage at their day job to give up. It was a transition period and as we're, hopefully, in another 'transition period', then it's not something we can afford to overlook, imo.

I hope Chalmers and Lowe & possible others involved that may yet me unmentioned,
Have a very well devised masterplan ready to implement soon.

I bought a Season Ticket and one for my Grandad the beginning of the year, after a passionate if not very skilful performance at Huddersfield.
However after weeks of pastings and no investment, I am out for the rest of this year.

IMHO you could buy the Queensland State of origin team next week and there would still be a strong mathematical possibility of relegation if the results don't go our way, any players should have been bought weeks / Months ago to avoid the inevitable with a -12 start.

However as I have posted before if we ARE relegated, yet a team is assembled that will at least push for promotion and be enjoyable to watch then I am back in.

This year has been awful, some of the players we have in the starting line up would struggle against West Bowling under 8's.
Others like Ryan, Oakes and Bentley need to be kept hold of at all costs if we are to have a future, it would be gutting to see them go like AOB and Mellor.

Everyone knows what needs to happen, the writing is on the wall for the future, but the annoying thing is nobody is no wiser as to what the owners have planned for us, I hope its positive or we are DOOMED!

If they've not already signed elsewhere I think a drop to Champ1 would mean they would be the first to go. They have a career to make, being a pro sportsperson is a short life at best and they need to look to themselves.

Yeah it's inevitable they will move on. Think we can keep some of the lesser known HG players, like Ricketts, Pickersgill, Kirk, Wilkinson etc.

Plus if we drop it's hugely doubtful we'd get them back on loan/DR either as the parent club would want them playing a better standard I'd imagine.
