I agree. What Newmarket will change though is an ability to generate revenue off field.

Can i ask a question.

People are talking about Cowling and Smith going to Cas
Cockayne going to Hull KR
Wilkes leaving
Washbrook leaving

Apart from Cockayne, I haven't seen anything nearing an official comment on any of the others.
Are they just general "I winder if" conversations on here or is there any substance to any of them?

Lets hope Kyle is a Wildcat next season, it would be a huge loss.

Lots of uncertainty it seems, with nothing concrete. Until someone leaves its just rumours and having an unstableing effect on the club, hindering recruitment and investment. Who would want to come and invest or play for a club in strife?? We could do the same to any club who have a player with 1 year left on a contract. It would keep our supporters happy but in reality means bugger all.

Most of these rumours are coming out of the gob of Nosey parker. Whoever is feeding him will also be happy because they seem to be having an effect.

Don't kid yourself Daddycool.

If we end up in the championship next season Newmarket will be nothing like the development we are expecting.
We'll be lucky to get more than a couple of basic stands and a ground capacity of about 5000. That's why reducing our playing strength next season could be tantamount to suicide.

Kyle Amor`s agent is Phil Clark`s brother who has never stopped trying to get him a move, last season it was Hull now its Hull KR. The player never mind the club may not even know that the agent is touting a player around. Martin Shuttleworth is another agent that never seems to do us any favours, his players come to us and then it seems he does his best to get them away once they hit some good form. It seems from reading Sir Richard Agars tweets that Shuttleworth is doing, has done, his best to get Lee Smith away to Cas and Sir Richard Agar is normally pretty good with his info. The problem is that most players think that their agent is working in the players best interest and most fans know that agents are low life bottom feeding scumbags.

Again from the license application, the target spend for year two was £1.3m, I suspect with Mellars salary (which if rumours are to be believed is six figure sum) and the paying off of John, Southern and Ellis it probably equates to a £1.1m spend.

I still can’t see why the RFL can’t employ agents to represent players as and when they need them. Player wants a move he has access to a salaried RFL employee who has no interest in the player moving clubs so is purely doing it for their benefit rather than his own pocket. I mentioned this a few years ago when this issue last cropped up.

These figures could be total speculation but if you are near to the mark then take them a bit further.

It would also mean we have blown £200,000 on misguided recruitment. That would fill quite a bit of the financial hole mentioned by sixtogo.

Nosey Parker gets most of his rumors off these very boards doesn't he, which usually tun out to be total rubbish.

That's just a rumour, and like most rumours is rubbish.

Don't worry I'm not going to kid myself. Newmarket will provide more revenue off field then on it though.
And clearly we won't be in the championship next season though I do accept your point.

Rumor or not, what he comes out with most of the time is absolute e.
