Without going OT, we have had just 27 deaths here and whilst we're a population a fraction of the size of the UK/USA/Brazil/India, it is no coincidence that we have a left leaning, liberal government, whilst the 4 main players in terms of mishandling have pretty much gone down the "every man for himself" route

Point is. Rugby League seems to be adopting that approach too. The top clubs would rather cull a few smaller ones for the sake of a pay day. London aside (Hughes is obviously still intending to pay the rent etc), clubs like Coventry have already said that this could be the end for them. I am sure the good folk at Skolars will be anxiously awaiting news of their loss of income, but with 200 fans maybe paying a tenner each, their reliance on their benefactor will be key......and all the while, trying to attract GOOD QUALITY" players from the north.

Therefore we get to play London youth whilst underpaying them and losing the best to either Union or the vultures in the North. Personally, I believe that if we do 'sign" a player, then the RFL must step in to protect us from losing that player for a pittance. Kai Pearce-Paul springs to mind....he wasn't even scouted. Radlinski is on record as saying that they only noticed him when they couldn't handle him in an academy game and snapped him up....vultures.

I thought it was pretty clear that Walker was only training to keep his fitness up, while waiting for a decent offer to come along.

Do we have an experienced full back?
If not we ought to be making him an offer surely?

Yes I guess he’s up North because that’s where the SL clubs are. He had a tricky time inSL with Trinity whereas he looked good at Fev. So the big question is whether he feels playing Championship with a Northern side is better than staying in London. My guess is he thinks it is. I agree though he is the type of player that we should be going for to supplement the L1 prospects and give us a deeper squad. At the moment I’m unclear who our FB and wingers will be.

We should be all.over him, but I expect financially it works out better for him up north

We need to go for Alex, he's only training with the Yorkshire club to see if any offers come in! Can we not fix him up with a job? and get him back near Family, must be a job going on the ground offices!
