Thacks is still contracted for SL as it stands ane u never know could be at the stobart next year. Straight from the horses er tweet

Erm, the club made it quite clear all of the players released would not form part of the 2012 squad. I assume they've sorted out any contractual arrangements Thackeray might have had.

Just read that... Very interesting.

Although reading his Twitter...

Strange eh

I'm assuming this is just a little tease.

And also rather peculiar.

Thackeray and Ford are both on loan at York till the end of the season.

What a fall from grace for thacks, not got anything against York like.

Well I thought Thackery was one of your better players quite honestly.

This season for you lot is acedemic and you know it.

Under the rules you have deserved your franchise but I still think franchising is ridiculous for a sport that wants to be taken seriously.

Frank, you used to have a lot more to say for yourself than this. I can tell it's angering you, but there's nothing we can do about it except live with the system we got dealt with. No one has been more put out by politics than Widnes so we're not exactly going to fold when we're finally dealt a good hand. I appreciate that it must be frustrating but we're not the ones you need to take to task for the system. We're merely in the same boat as you, relying on good fortune and the whims of others to get us by. Under the system we've got, we're the best choice. If we were under the old system many down here want back, things would obviously be very different so there really is no point reflecting on the what ifs that may be going on in your head.

We've got a super league set up here, and every right to be in the top league. It's not helpful to come on here every week as fans do to tell us that its all a sham. It is what it is, we're all living with it.

To be fair Chris i think Frank and all us Leythers know that with this system there's only Widnes ready for the step up to SL, and we all wish you luck as it gives us all a chance to get there in the future.

it would be great to see Leigh up there - not just for starbug's complete meltdown but also to play out the longstanding rivalry we've had for years at the top table for once.

Agree with that mate, think we will have to wait a while though, unless we meet in the CC then you can get your own back.
