That's a guaranteed way to get the team motivated, tell them they all will be p/t next year so need to find a new club if they want to stay f/t!

I've heard that the players have been told over the weekend that there's a good chance of them going part time next year, so I'm very sceptical about this "news" that we're all waiting for.

Some players will be. Let's face it many are only full time because we had no one else..

Some of them aren't very happy as you'd imagine. A lot of these lads have young families to look after.
As for it being strange timing, aren't clubs allowed to speak to players regarding the following year in May 1st?

Re: Chalmers and Lowe the conspiracy : Mon May 01, 2017 2:45 pm  

Lots of conflicting rumours flying round now...

So far I've heard 3 in two days, two different owners and going part time..

Think it's best for all to calm down and see what happens.

What do you mean different owners pal?

Going through some real adversity. No real leadership apparent at the top. My fears for the club are increasing.

Part time and having dual reg doesn't appeal to me.

Yeah the anti tampering deadline is soon, but we could have just as easily given their agents permission to speak to other clubs without mentioning the possibility of part time rugby. Not suggesting they lie to them but they didn't have to demoralise the whole squad in the process either!

^ This

And while I am for giving Cha-Lowe chance, not if they want to drop the club to P/T. That would be a complete betrayal - there's no way back from doing that.

I've heard two names mentioned as new owners can't see them working together as they hate each other..

Seems these two would be taking care of business short term,
It would good if someone took the reigns that could take us forward.

Dual reg doesn't appeal to me either. Especially not with one of the worst teams in Super League. They'll be borrowing players from us!
