I'm willing to wager that a good half of our squad come from Yorkshire and would have been making their way to Featherstone under their own steam, anyway!

| A statement has now been made and it does at least let us know that KC has gone and appears to not be pulling a wage from here forward, same for Morts and Lovett. Good news in the circumstances re contracts and especially that KC has gone (no malice intended I just believe it best for our future). The statement also mentions the other players that have moved on. I wish info had been more timely but at least it is now done.
Thanks for the updates HR. I always trust that you supply info (positive and negative) with the best intentions of keeping people informed (appropriately) whenever you can.

| Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "It's not all doom and gloom. There are plenty positives.
I am informed Derek has held productive talks with a potential investors, not only new ones, but also including a previous one from before Sporting Club Leigh's formation keen to come back into the fold, as well as one, not known to be short of a few bob who has sponsored matches before. All very encouraging.
I was also speaking to one of our shirt sponsors yesterday and he has told me his company, and he believes most of the other shirt sponsors, are all on board next season. Great to hear.
Purtil HAS been told he has a job next season. He is the man I would choose to over haul the playing register, lead recruitment for 2019, implement new structures and begin building up from the grass roots. I am pleased about that.
However no one actually knows the RFL structure for 2019. Unbelievably it is not yet confirmed so that is making life more complex for the current custodians, potential new investors, Head Coach and players alike, especially around the offering of 2019 coaching and playing contracts.
I do agree about communication though, it is absolutely woeful.
As an aside I am hearing all is not well at Featherstone either, for very similar reasons.
The game is in trouble, and chopping and changing structures does not attract investors, sponsors or fans to it.'"
Harold,
Many, many thanks for that positive post! It's good to know what kind of efforts are actually going on behind the scenes - although it gives me no satisfaction to hear that Fev may be having similar problems. It looks like Salford, Leeds and Widnes may have things mostly their own way in next season's Championship!

Fev currently have a 1st team squad of 21 - 3 of those have long term injuries leaving 18. In the squad announced for Sunday, of those 18 only 2 are missing: Richard Moore and Hock (who's banned).

What about DR, no disrespect (we've done it ourselves in the past), but you seem to have relied on it a little this season

Leeds seem to be struggling with injuries again and, in their situation, they may well need all the players they have got!

Yes there are 2 DR players in the squad (Luke Briscoe and Dakota Whylie), otherwise we'd be down to a max of only 17 - not sure what's wrong with Moore.

Whether he has or not (and to release him would be costly as he only recently signed a year extension) clearly there aren't '[ia few others'[/i

I wish!! I think Martyn has a two year contract at Fev though, although he may be one of their more highly paid players?

Well it doesn’t tell us the what we all desperately want to know but that is likely because it’s still being worked out. It does at least tell officially stuff we did know. (Players moved to their clubs) but it does more.
It confirmed what was for me and I’m sure others what was just hearsay, eg KC going (with no disrespect to anyone on here that has passed on info they really did know) because with so much rumour and distraction fueled by lack of official info, it’s hard to clearly know what has truly happened.
It also informed me of info I had no idea about. The fact that KC, Morts and others have left and will not be getting payment to the end of the season or longer.
I agree the release is not the golden goose of info but still appreciated.
And to those who officially release info, please do your best to do it the first moment it can be done, to help stop some of the rubbish gaining momentum on the back of silence from the club. Just because info is known by some and appears to be commonly out in the public realm, it does not mean it stands out in the pile of rubbish surrounding it.
Please keep us officially informed in a timely manner
