Batchelor ourpt for 2 months with a bad hamstring tear

Or another example of Shaw putting out a negative piece on FC?

Maybe not over paying players help too...still have cap space for this season 

Wouldn't be surprised if Lane takes up a fair chuck of cap space, he's the last remaining player along with Ligi of the era of handing out crazy deals, Pryce I assume will be marquee. 

Think what we've seen under Myler is that the cap management has been much improved and how bad it was prior to his arrival. Think when you look at the squads of the top teams over the last few years in terms of quality and depth and they were under cap, then you look at ours over the same periods we should not have been any where near the full cap.  


So not sure we'd need to see many departures in that sense, plus the likely departures of Holmes, Ligi, Watts etc at the end of the season.

Definitely need to sign Ashworth up again, been impressed this year

He was fantastic in the last game , Probably his best game for us since signing .

not sure the top teams were under cap but were utilising the cap to the full.  wigan reportedly spending £3m on players salaries.

Ours was terrible value for money though.  You'd think we had some former DJ handing out ridiculous contracts to average players or something

Professional governing bodies more incompetent-  Wales RU, North Yorks Council, last Tory Gov.but yes RFL well up there. I hear the arguments re Jed C and Holmes. A scenario may occur, given that they are both contracted,  that in a long gruelling season they come in fresh like new signings and play most of remaining games. I?ve said before that you can?t expect every player to play every single game maybe the freaks ( hope Ese ese is one)and we have to be more patient when players are out. Tough aggressive fast athletic sport. So far Knight seems durable but know he?s had knee and ankle surgeries. One good game from Jed and it?ll all be forgotten. Here?s  hoping?

Minimum 9 out of 10 for me.

I'm re-engaged with the club, parting with a bit more money, scrutinising fixtures and counting down to games.


Coach, staff, recruitment for this year, recruitment 2026 onwards, retention of Ese, retention of youth...


Light years ahead of where i thought we could be. 

Agreed. I'd assume the market would mean he'd be more expensive to replace then he would to retain. 


Apparently we have a little space at current, but Batchelor, Bell and Hill onto next year's bill will take a lot. Have we got enough outgoing to cover new additions beyond them?

More interested in the work Cartwright has done and is doing rather than Myler.Interesting to note that the new role for Gaz Ellis is helping out Myler no doubt using his player connections to speak with potential signings especially in Australia.
The clubs most effective signings have come from Cartwright.
Abdull and Holmes were disasterous signings and Chamberlain not much better.
Bell apart the signings for next season are a step up and i havnt a clue who initiated the talks and got them over the line.
If it was Myler then fine but dont underestimate the work Gaz is now doing in this role 

Who have we signed since Ellis started his new role four weeks ago?


Can't you just admit that you've been over the top in your Myler bashing and that he's actually doing a very good job - not least in the engagement with the supporters ans wider community.
