Well there's no smoke without fire. I saw Halifax Star Player as I was passing Odsal this morning. He was shaking the padlocks and looking confused.

Well, if there has been an approximate sighting of <Halifax Star Player> there looking for the bus to Dewsbury, and he has been putting out some VERY ambiguous messages on Twitter about "....playing rugby" then that has definitely confirmed it for me. <Halifax Star Player> in the famous Red, Amber and Black stripes next year.

I can't imagine any Halifax fans being happy about that.

People keep mentioning this and I can't see how its relevant. Existing contracts which aren't being renewed expire in November and any new ones start from November. There isn't any overlap so why does it affect next years spending plans, which players we have at moment who are leaving?

All of them bar 14 are Not contracted from 1st November, technically.
This is one of the reasons I think RFL are trying to force a sale of the club - from 1st Nov, our wage liabilities are much reduced which gives a new owner room to make his own decisions

One of those decisions presumably is to move back into Odsal? Just without any players? I can't see that working.

Fax fans don't do "being happy". Even when they've beaten us they're usually still moping around determinedly searching for the downside...
