It's clear there's nothing to play for next year. We've given up. I'm leaving this board because life is crap enough without this making it worse. You won't hear from me anytime soon. Goodbye to all of the great people on this board. Bye.

Rob and Mike I fully understand where you are with happenings in your unit. Not going into details but this past year has been crap on a personal front. Time will give you strength and I sincerely hope that the sun comes back into your life. Take care Rob been good to communicate, stay strong.

As for the rugby side, good luck to the lads that have left and to those who will also leave shortly. Been a pleasure to have watched them.

Thanks for the good wishes, Wilf. Wife Carol has been diagnosed with cancer of the duodenum and that's weighing heavily on us at the moment.

I too wish all the lads who are moving on the very best for the future.

Based on historical announcements from the Club, Matty had a two year deal, now expired and Ross had a one year extension to a previous one year contract, also now expired.

Plenty of work to be done with only three players currently contracted, pending further announcements from the Club.

So sorry to hear the news Mike. I’m afraid I’ve been there and got the T shirt. My missus was as strong as an ox and always 100% positive, stay strong.
Good luck to you and the family.

Well you never know in sport....
We had some great players at the end of the season and they nearly made my day and got promotion, but let's face it they were poorly led.
Minutes away from losing at South Wales, struggling to a draw at London, getting thrashed at home to Hunslet, poor at Keighley and Rochdale and Barrow.
Brilliant results too as at North Wales.
Play offs...nearly blowing it against North Wales, nearly losing to Keighley and then being out organised at Workington.
Really gritty wins at home vs Barrow and Workington.
But not consistent enough through the season and lost the important play off positions of 2 or 3 and that was our undoing.
So great players who could improvise and play entertaining rugby but too brittle in defence as a unit and not punchy enough as a unit of forwards.
But great individuals like Douglas, Tali, Matty, Sweeting, Johnston, Johnson, Cockayne, Greensmith, Halliday etc etc.
So why did we not get promoted...it wasn't the players...we had them...
We will see what comes next...but we underachieved and are still in with the great unwashed...the unwanted clubs.
Nobody else to blame..
But in a world where only being NICE is allowed and analysis is seen as somehow nasty I am like a dinosaur...and social media is not a nice place.
So COYD...
