Think this is the article re: Shenton. Doesn’t really say much for me that we haven’t all worked out. Rhinos have invested hugely in ground improvements and they can’t use the hospitality areas to pay for it.

Worried as I am about our Financial future it seems all clubs have their challenges

Well that’s a bit more than 3 isn’t it! I’d prefer to believe MC than that rag. You can minus Kershaw so that makes two, I think we can survive for now.


Of note the only players on that list who you would call must keeps is BJB at a pinch. Kirmo is virtually part time anyway whilst Heaze is purely potential at present. Atkins and Koppy offer experience but both are ageing fast. To have satisfied the rest is a huge achievement and well done to all.

Well, topping up your glass DS, both MC and JM stated on the Q and A that they as satisfied as they can be, given the circumstances, that the club will come out of this in a good position compared to some other clubs, so hopefully progress on the stadium can still be made

Out of that list I think ( if genuine) that Danny Kirmond is the biggest surprise to me. Excellent Club man and all that.

Nothing to with wages this is contract offers etc.

These are not players holding out but the list of those out of contract with the club to decide if they wish to offer them a contract. With regards the wages we apparently have now agreed with Fifita but a week too late to start training. This is now 31 players, we will have to see who the two remaining players are.

I recognise that RWB, but the fact that if he's rejected an offer, because of his allegiance to Trinity over the years, I'm surprised that he turned it down.

I read it no offer has been made as yet but I might be wrong

Says not yet decided. You know, as in weighing up his health vs carrying on playing type things maybe?

That's how I read it too.

That's more likely to be the situation.

Whichever way you view it this is good news as far as I can tell.
