| I think the club are in a difficult position when it comes to wealthy owners opening the chequebook with the proverbial everlasting sugar cascading out.
The latest 'rumour' is that one of these chequebook predators is interested in acquiring the services of one of our current crown jewels.
Peter Hood to the best of my knowledge has two fingers, let's hope they get use.

| I would hope that with the Odsal buy-out we have enough financial security to resist attempts to lure away our top young players. A play off finish this year would also be a huge boost for holding onto them.

Totally share the above sentiments mate.
In the past one could argue the money received for Fielden and Burgess has helped to keep us above water. It would be an absolute travesty should we lose any of our emerging or established talent to the chequebook.

| I dearly hope this it not true. We have to build a team around these players, not sell them. We need to get them tied down to long contracts and NOW.

Talking to Brian Noble at the Grand Final last year his exact words we're "Tie Whitehead and Bateman down to five year contracts" couldn't you agree more.

| I think we have to be looking to move some of the fringe players on like Sykes, Ainscough, Platt etc and use that cap space to reward people like Crookes/Bateman/Whitehead etc.

Whitehead was the name mentioned.
I know in the off season the club basically said "go away" to one club who wanted the services of Tom Burgess.

| I agree, the club should say no. At the same time, the player should make it clear he wants to stay.
If the Bulls are no longer in financial trouble, there's no reason to accept offers for players.
With players coming out of contract this year, we should have some cap space available. Problem is, the money is not free until the players leave.

| The rumour is apparently to do with Whitehead and Hull but it doesn't ring true to me. Why would Elliot want to go to Hull when he had the chance to go to Leeds before re-signing with us?

| I think Hull have the potential to be up there challenging in the next few years. I reckon they will follow a similar route to Wire and try to buy players rather than wait around for players to come out of contract.
