We now have 20 contracted players for this season.
The Club has announced an innovative shirt sponsorship deal, whereby 25 businesses/individuals are contributing £1k each, to sponsor a squad member's shirt. (i.e. squad numbers 1-25) I know we have 4 DC's to come in but they, according to the RFL, cannot have a squad number between 1 and 25.
I appreciate how tight finances are, but wonder if there are any plans to fill shirts 21-25?

I would hope we at least sign a Loose Forward and hopefully another winger (campbell?) Don't know who we could sign as a Loose though. Has Zeb Luisi re-signed for Barrow yet? Or maybe Millward has an Aussie/Kiwi lined up for us.

If we got Govin & Campbell signed then LF is covered & Mick can play various positions so he'd be a great utility player to have & Campbell could cover wing/centre well. It's ashame with Blackpool folding but we can take advantage & look at signing 1 or 2 of them with the likes of Hemingway coming back hopefully

Has Govin ever played at Loose Forward? Only place I could see him in the pack would possibly be at Hooker. Anywhere else he would just be too small surely? I always thought of him as a half back, isn't that where he played at Leigh, Fax, Haven and Batley? |

I watched a Thursday night game, Fax at home. Govin played at 13 in that game. I think he played several times for them in that position.

Personally I wouldn't want him to be our 1st choice 13. I just don't think he's big enough or sound enough defensively to warrant a 1st team spot in the middle of the pitch. Not with quality back rowers like Taylor/Goulden/Littler at the club and a lot of promise in Hopkins. Wouldn't mind him as a signing but if we were starting a season with Govin as 13 I would be wary. Back up for the halves IMO. Be cheaper than Hartley and even Mick can't have a worse season, injury wise, than Tim did last year.

Govin can & has played at 6,9 & 13 plenty enough hence why I said he is a good utility player  |

Leigh have withdrawn an offer made to Campbell due to uncertainty of his ongoing off field issue.

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
|
Govin would do for me, other than him having some injury problems in the past I can't see an issue.
He's less than a risk than Hartley was thats for sure.

Pace and penetration were problems last season, in my opinion. We don't seem to have done a lot to address those problems yet.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

There'll be some Crusaders players looking for anything they can get shortly.
Apparently as well as the winding up order, Leighton Samuels as served a writ on the Crusdaers for £360,000 as well.
edit: Apparently the club and LS are denying the story, despite a spokesman being quoted as saying we simply can't go on now the writ as come in

Well this is a big problem now for the RFL if they go to the wall.
Twenty clubs outside Non Relegation League. Two leagues of 10 and 9 are not viable for season after next.Blackpool having been wound up.
Seems season after next Wakey are probably staying where they are and just 1 combined Championship League.
