Worst part of a merger would mean we'd have to stop taking the pee out of the Huddersfield-Sheffield Giants. That's been one of our best weapons over the last 20 years and it would be blunted.

What if it went the other way though and we had the Sal from Salford and the Ford from Bradford? It would be a real ta to be called SalFord

If no-one was looking, could we pick up the AJ Bell stadium and plonk it down at Odsal at the same time?

But it wouldn't matter because then nobody would go.

When people ask about the owners willingness to spend and people ask what forwards are available, Hull KR just signed Lee Jewitt very good signing for them

Apparently Chris Bridge is due to retire at the end of the year because he is struggling with injuries. Presumably he will be our first signing for next year then.

It might prove difficult getting quality players to sign up to the cause. I would imagine playing for Bradford is no longer an attractive proposition for a good player with no baggage. KR on the other hand are most definitely challenging for super league status and will most likely achieve it by the end of the middle eights.

Slightly off topic I know, but coming up to close of play on Wednesday and still no word on Chisholm. I find it very hard to believe they still don't know the extent of his injury, which makes me fear even more that the Fax fan claiming he's out for the season was actually right

Nobody is still buying the "we're doing all we can" nonsense are they?

Thought that had gone the same way as strong and stable leadership!

Spot on FW..A world of soundbites, rhetoric and little or no substance!

Along with "It's a done deal".

And "The visa will be through next week."

Definitely not buying into that whatsoever just pointing out there are players available

There are players available to those with the money to pay for them.

What do you do when you have no money? Don't suppose anyone has set up a 'Player Bank'.

Just a thought...
