| Featherstone appear to have announced their signing of Wellington. Nice of the club to give a farewell and thanks to those exiting.....

Perhaps they haven't noticed they'd gone.

I would imagine it'll be addressed in the Friday email.

Quality dig DC. Funny because it contains that slight element of truth.

Along with Dixon, Curran ...well you see the point. Think we saved a stamp on Meadows’ cheerio as he’s now come back.

Balls. Obviously he was one of our key captures and we’ve failed to do so. Interesting to see why he didn’t fancy it. I would have thought London in Super League would have been a decent fit.

| Is it just me or have we not really recruited well?
Have we backfilled key losses in Whare and, in particular, Norman?
Who is going to pull the strings now. Is it Oli L 18th man in SF and Final or Meadows?

| Unless we bring in some quality we are looking like a mid level Championship side. The academy was scrapped to supposedly allow they club to focus on other areas of the ranking criteria. The 2 highest ranking criteria are fandom and performance. We won't pick up many performance points with a sub standard squad and nor will will attract many new fans to the club.

| That’s really bad news about Norman.
Probably could have coped with Whare leaving but Norman also going leaves a massive quality deficit in the squad.

In fairness I would have thought top 5 Championship team. Cant argue with the rest though. Very, very strange.

| The only sane conclusion I can come up with to explain the current insanity is given that we know we will be excluded from SL in 25. So are taking the Sky/SL money & spending aslittle as possible this year with a view to mitigating Hughes' input financially & having some for a Championship side next year.
Trouble is, in SL years gone by, we have spent to the cap or claimed to have & have had a very average team. Wouldn't trust Hughes or Lobster to spend the money well.

I see where you’re coming from here DC but the problem is they are all on a 1 which means they could all fly off at the end of the season leaving us without a well oiled Championship team in 2025. If they were in 2s that would make sense although even if we won the league we wouldn’t get promoted but it might be exciting. Really not sure what we are up to.

Total RL vote; do you prefer:
a) "Star" players
b) Railway stations?
News has reached Leigh (by the Mail Bus) that "Corey of The Brown Fingers " will not be in SL next year and Oli Holmes is said to be starting to unclench. Please follow Leopards' X feed for nanometer by nanometer progress reports.
