As I've posted, until we officially hear that we're staying full time pro (and Sheens is definately staying), don't assume anything.

All the comments pre relegation are as null and void as the player contracts now reality hits. I think Hudge and Rob will want us to stay pro, but if the other backers and sponsorships pull out, then we're screwed.

They also need to announce it next week. Most of the best players already have clubs next season. Even the crap players are likely to have found clubs in the next couple of weeks.

The board need time, but the clock is ticking...

some of the players we have got would be ideal for the championship including keiron Dixon dare I even say he would be a star but they must be paid according to the standard they are playing at and that's the big problem, the top 4 bit should be easy its the middle 8s joke that get you promoted a lot harder, but I think it was crazy this year with the teams that ended up in there apart from our goodselves of course

Think you're spot on there. Kieran Dixon will be a star in the championship and will score 30 tries in a season and would suit Full Back down there. Unfortunately he just is not good defensively enough for super league. I think if he played for Wigan/Hull/Warrington he may get away with it in SL but when playing for a lower team you get found out. Can't see any other SL team taking him off your hands really. Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at Toronto or Bradford.

Minns could also double up as a turnstile

I believe you are mistaking Thomas Minns for somebody else, Minns is much less susceptible to the turnstile tendencies of his predecessor and I would be very sorry to see him leave

And if your IQ was one higher you could double as a pot plant.

You're thinking of Salter, if so, you're bang on correct. Thornley is a bit crap for SL as well, which is why they'll both stay and Minns will leave.

Dixon needs to stay, even if its just to get us back into SL.

Strangely enough, Kelly might be the only high paid star we keep because no one else will want him.

If I had it my way, Lunt and Blair to lead the team. Keep Greenwood, Minns, Mantelato. No point mentioning Sio, he would have gone anyway.

In reality, we'll probably have to rely on Marsh to steer us around the park and Tilse as a barnstorming line breaker. God help us.

Factually incorrect, Dudley. As Spegs has no IQ, he must be reclassified as a weed.

Top post yours by the way.

Jesus Smeg, you come on here posting the sort of drivel that makes Jake look like Bamber fecking Gasgoine, and you think that's poor! Look in the mirror son, you're a moron of the first order, a pi$$ poor wind up merchant, despised by supporters of his own club, who's rocked up on our site because we're in a rough patch and yet you seem to expect top class witty banter. Face it you're not waste the effort you tool!
