Agents contact clubs saying which players are available, that info gets leaked a lot of the time. All it takes is a "guess who fev(insert team) offered us?" conversation between a few people and the news is out. Moore seems to be the biggest one at Fev that they are struggling to shift.

You haven't answered the question, which was why do these rumours always seem to emanate from Fax fans, and only from Fax fans?
Apologies to Leigh fans for this diversion on your board.

A one off game means nothing, you had no competition in your league this year, you played your best against Leeds and they were poor, you have two super league quality teams next year who will Imo be stronger over the course of the season, anyway I don't see any super league team losing their place to any of the 3 in the championship their just a lot stronger overall.

We have the biggest mouths. In all seriousness though the thing about the advance in RFL funding came from the Keighley chairman, the thing about players been offered could have come from any club in the league. I have seen from a Hunslet fan about their talks with Kain. I guess theres just a bigger ratio of Fax fans on these boards than most other clubs.

Against Leeds we didn’t play our best we played just like we had most of the season no better no worse and Leeds played as good as we let them.

That said I agree a one off game is not the same as it will be in the middle 8, and I also agree it will be very tough for any team to get promoted, however that said if one of the championship sides is riding high (as we were last season) and a SL team is use to losing and low on moral etc then you never know, I honestly believe we would have beat both Bradford and London last season………..oh and we always beat Widnes anyway!

If only the new system allowed for a promotion spot to be decided by a one off game....

Get your tongue out of your cheek Matt

wow you know so much other clubs and their players.

lol you know a guy who follows leeds and says the 4 players wont be much good, we best send them back then eh.

how good these Leeds players will be is just a matter of opinion at the moment until they pull a shirt on, but im sure Andy Hey and MC have more info on them than you and your mate.

The only Top earner we want to off load is Kain and that's because he's no good anymore not because we cant afford him. We have made no attept to offload Moore, why would we.

We'll easily finish at least 4th. we were poor last season but still too good for Halifax and Sheffield. I think we have improved our squad more than the pair of them. Sheffield will be better than Fax though.

maybe we 'had no competition' -silly statement is that - because we were a lot better than the other teams in our division - oh yes thats what winning the league and grand final is all about?

Im not sure where I said the lad who told me about the Leeds lads is a Leeds fan. He knows them a bit better than that.

Maybe you have improved your squad but personally, and i have seen a lot of people agreeing, I dont think you have really. Ive said the same about Sheffield, Im not expecting them to be terrible or anything Im just not expecting them to be top 5. Fax's biggest improvement came when they got rid of Harrison, most people do not realize how significant that decision was.

i never write on these boards only read them but i find your comment about the four from leeds strange as all 4 were playing super league last year all be it wiyh the worst 2 teams ie bradford and london carnt see them being bit part players.

Still failed to convince me.

Im sorry you missed out on the best Cook islander prop that was available, you can at least work out who the one you have signed is though.

Interesting debate, i think 8 points my get you top 3 and 10 most certainly will. Which means who ever finishes top of the Chanmpionship play the following at home :-

Champ Pos 2
Champ pos 3
Champ pos 4

and i think either the 12th or 11th team in SL at home

Id fancy who ever finishes top of the champ to have really good chance of getting 8 points then the rest is history... all these SL fans who say they cant see this and that from the Championship need to have a look at the fixture list for the top 8 games!!

one final point the jokers who think we had no competition are just that IMO just jokers, ive had this suprising debate all ready with an ex director who had similar thoughts. Look at the number of games lost in 2013 season by Fax and Fev vs 2014. The significant difference is the 2 game sthey lost to us in 2014 vs what they won in 2013.

So to come out with a statement of we had no competition in 2014 is absolutely laughable.

Bring on the Bulls, Broncos, Fev, Fax, Eagles we respect everyone but fear no one!!
