And we thought the season couldnt get any worse.

I thought the whole idea of having that big 'VIQI' event to get Thacks to resign was done in the format that he would be retained for our first season in SL?

Unless theres underlying factors in which he has stated he wanted to leave at the end of the season.

Really cant get my head around this. Another DR from Wigan as well? Thats like sticking two fingers up at the likes of Gore, Lunt etc.

What a way to turn such a farcical season into an absolute joke.

and to top it off, our hilarious friend WireWonder is busy assaulting the VT now hes banned from here.
meanwhile, back on topic - stick the Yoof in now! use them now while the pressure is off, we cant get much worse.
but i doubt we will get better until the managment are shown the door.

Not even going to comment on this right now

You've signed some half back on DR from Wigan aswell, sorry if its already been mentioned.

Interesting, Thackeray has been pretty poor this year tbf and doesnt have the vision or hands for a real good 6. The rest im not fussed at all.

Mellor at 7 and I'anson at 6.


This year will be now be even worse with these announcements.



BTW Mellor is a cracking player.

Hasn't Thackery been playing at Full Back though? Not suprised he hasn't been playing well if thats the case?

A Betts masterstroke!!! He has played there but he hasn't been playing there if that makes sense.

I feel for Thackeray,he must be gutted.I thought he deserved a chance to show what he can do with a decent pack and scrum half alongside him.Let's hope some more tough decisions are made soon.

Sort of



I'll be honest, I thought Thackeray would have been one of the first players to sign up for Super League.

Thackeray has carried for us for a while now. Even when we had Webster, Thacks was still the main playmaker. With full time training he would of went well for us. He deserved at least 1 year

The rest im not fussed about. Netherton and Gerrard are too slow for even this league.

He did deserve at least one year,even if only as a back up,second choice half back.No doubt the wise men behind the scenes will have a replacement lined up.Paul Cooke or Graham Holroyd probably.
