Who's putting in the cash at HKR nowadays?.. have they had some new investment?

New board plus other multiple revenue streams, they have been very good at growing their brand, fair play to them.

We seem to have gone quiet of late, since Hiku is now confirmed to HKR and I think Gildart is going to be announced by them also soon enough I’m wondering where that leaves us in the looking for a centre.

Sounds good. The sport needs as much financial investment as possible, spread out among as many clubs as possible.

Would be great to have 12 solidly backed clubs, paying transfer fees and marquee wages - would revive the sport in so many ways.

Wonder if Sheikh Jassim fancies buying a club if the Glazers don’t sell him UTD

Had a full board takeover in the winter with a healthy contingent of no less than 6 board members (another to come later on in the year) with the existing chairman Neil Hudgell still on board putting money in.

All this with buying our own ground, having multiple revenue streams and some real money spinners in The Who/Rod Stewart concerts at Craven Park, off the pitch is certainly going well. The board have put it on record to do it smart though, rather than tossing money about. It's also been a well kept secret the resources we've got which is also smart..why put pressure on a new coach pre season talking the talk? The potential is huge and you're right on the next page, it's great for the sport. I also like the statements from our board actively encouraging the sport as a whole to progress. They want competition as it would sharpen their own focus, there's no point doing all this in a poor sport they've said.

My bet on Hull kr to finish bottom is looking good!

I wouldn't take too much seriously that you guys have been reading on SARL/TRL etc. Poor lazy journalism along with the likes of that kno* jockey Matthew Shaw on Twitter.

If you want in for Tyler then show us the money. Otherwise, go forth and multiply, or something to that effect.

Was a really uplifting evening last night at the Salford City Stadium with plenty of positive things discussed about the future of our club.
