Lengthy Article in the Guardian adds some more detail in the complete absence of anything fr9m the club. Parata retired- in absence of anything formal from the club: thanks for all your efforts for the club. He really stood up when we were decidedly average and it’s a shame he picked up head knocks this year but he can say he made it to the top in the game. All the best to him for the future.
Basset is going back to Australia.
The interesting bits were around Bienek, who is one of 7 who have a contract for 2025, and Campo who handed in the lease on his flat and has gone on holiday hoping something will come up. Bottom line how I read it they knew things were problematic but there was no certainty that the club was basically folding and they were simply left to guess with people like Meadows getting things sorted and others hoping for the best and now swinging in the breeze.
Without Mr H no club but with him this kind of shenanigans. Not great.

Quote: Hockley Bronco "Genuine question
At what point does this situation become existential? Presumably at some point the RFL will require some sort of guarantee that the club can complete next years fixtures? Does anyone know?'"

Thinking about this some more, unless something is quite advanced with a new owner, there just isn’t time to get through the gears. We have 7 players signed, potentially no training or back office staff, no ground, no funds. No sponsors, nobody running the website. At best we cobble together a 13 and agree to host some matches at Roslyn park and anywhere else that will have us. That is a recipe for tiny crowds, poor performances and a slow death. Yikes!

While not expecting it, I wouldn't entirely rule out a Hughes volte-face. Can't see how he can sell the club if the RFL exclude us & we are not a going concern.

I’m not expecting it either but there was the time he said he’d pull the plug when we left the Stoop - and ended up at Barnet.
