I may need to read the IMG doc again, but I missed the bit where you get points for having Glenn Morrison coach your kids

I'd have taken him at our club.

I guess we will see how serious they are when they announce the list of players for next season. We will also have an indication if we believe this will help them reach their goal of 3000 supporters.
The initial indication of a squad of 25 players including short term loans and dual registration is not a good start but we will see.

I'm pretty sure he said he has about 15 committed and wants to get to 22 and then utilise the loan and dual registration system.

And run a full time academy.

There’s a number of players who may be worth a look without SL deals who could do a good job in the championship.

Imo priority players would be Kershaw, Croft (to sort our left edge out for next season).

I’m hoping Pratt is signed up as he’s showing promise at York playing centre and wing. Another offseason could see him more ready.

I’d try tempt Tanginoa so we could run a SR of Griffin/Tanginoa that could be deadly in the championship. Assuming Tanginoa is fit and hopefully wants to stick by the club who’s stick by him this season but seen little benefit.

Not sure ion the rest. Maybe Bowden who would offer more in championship and be an experienced prop.

There may be a few decent championship players knocking about worth a look. Maybe some young championship lads who would like to go full time.

I’m excited to see how we build a team for next season.

Tanginoa would be in the 'maybe' column for me. His fitness has cost us this year and we can't afford to carry anyone.
But clearly he'd be a massive asset if he stayed.

Got a feeling the better players will be leaving and we will be left with the weaker older players. IF we keep same so called Coach and the players way past there sale date, can see it been a struggle to get to 3,000 supporters .The true fans have just seen one of the worst team at Wakefield ,the worst coach , The same fans did not asked for there money back when Covid came ,Mr Carter said it saved the club, How much more does this club expected from the fans with nothing back on the field to watch

Carter didn't say short term loan deals.

No issue or argument with that sentiment, but in relation to IMG grading, it is irrelevant.

Carter is in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks / hopes 3000 hardcore fans will turn up next year whilst in the same breath talking about using dual reg players. Just think about that for a moment. “We will be running a thread bare squad with a revolving door loan system to change the team every week just like this year and we still want you all to pay £27 to watch Dewsbury”.

The only way to get 3000 fans next year is to procure and operate a super league quality team with established player names. Similar to what Leigh have done - SL calibre player and SL calibre coach in the Championship. I’m convinced it’s the only way.

JM can’t be playing Moneyball with everything and fully control his ability to generate a first class product on the field that is worth paying for by the fans. Worth pointing out that the away fans won’t travel to see dross either - if we have something to watch, they will come. Otherwise, put simply, they won’t.

Agreed. Was really selfish of him to break his arm.

But seriously, I’d actually sell him if he is not already null and void. On balance, hasn’t been on the field enough in 4 years.

Saying that he’d probably be a worldy at another uk team but just not done it for us.
