I can't really see us being the ones making most of the decisions, to be honest.

Most of our young players will have already signed elsewhere, as rumour suggests and so, no doubt, will the better members of our squad..

This has been our problem for the last few seasons, the players that we want to keep get cherry picked and we are left with the dross and the expensive ones.

Heard from a very good source at the weekend that the whole team certainly isn't staying full time. There may be the odd player who is FT, but most will be Part Time.
Obviously not official, but the guy who told me is rarely wrong.

If I'm honest, I've completely lost interest now. The lack of communication is just making me more and more apathetic towards the club every single day that goes by.

There's next to no chance of me being at Odsal next season, even if we ended up with Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk & Cameron Smith (the good one) playing for us.

Well that would be disappointing as it would spell the end of the academy surely.

Losing the academy is a red line for the RFL (or it was when the ok'd ChaLo).

They've already told Fr13daY we're keeping the academy and getting a reserves side.

Yeah, we were told that the academy is expanding.

Losing academy would be a red line for me too. Would be interested to know what "expanding" actually means.

I was told we would run both a Tier1 academy and a Tier3 academy next year. Whatever that means.

I know he doesn't get to play a full 80 in his position and may not have the experience of Moore and smith, but I personally would love to see Peltier captain the squad next year.

It's been far too long now since we've seen a player as dedicated to the club and the fans as he is. Too many journeymen looking for ill deserved pay checks that they couldn't con other teams into giving them and our young ones have been aligned behind them.

We may have a chance of squeezing another year out of the bentleys coming through the academy if the man leading the team bleeds red amber and black like Ross.
