Regarding kelepi if he had signed a new deal sure it would of been announced

I would imagine any announcement would coincide with a season ticket release or some other event, if he has agreed to stay that it.

Not a rumour any more. Walmsley signed. Excellent.

Bumped into Liam Finn in Gran Canaria airport last week and he said it was a done deal, he also said Halifax are coming for us this year! Top guy really nice.

It's not eight o'clock yet, and as Klav says, that's one to do when the season tickets are put on sale.

I can't imagine Kelepi is going to suddenly change people's mind in buying a season ticket.
They've already shown we are going to have a squad worthy of paying to watch.

It's just the statement that we have kept arguably our biggest asset which could lauch the season tickets with a bang. No idea if he's staying or going.

Fev making so good signings too with Bussey and Bowes.

Going to be some scrap with them. Despite claims they’re cutting budgets their signings suggest anything but.

Still confident in Wakefield Trinity thought to do the job next season.

Fax have replaced Walmsley with Greg Eden as well.

Sounds like it's going to be a very competitive league next year, can't wait.

Was thinking the same.

Us, Toulouse, Fev, York, Fax and Bradford (as dark horses) all assembling decent squads.

I’m genuinely really looking forward to a season (but hopefully no more) in the Championship.

Hull KR announced his signing

A marquee signing would go down a treat at this time and really get those season ticket sales bouncing .squad looking really good up to press , just needs those finishing touches ,and a cherry on the top

Not sure if I’d stretch that far just yet. Still alot of our best players or biggest earners (to be polite) left still to be replaced like Fifita, Whitbread, Tanginoa, Langi, Crowther, Proctor, Kershaw. Also a lot of depth still to be replaced with the likes of Smith, Bowes, Law, Windrow, Roberts etc.

A marquee signing would be great but still think a handful of quality players is needed especially a big signing or two in forwards and potentially the halves.

Im really looking forward to seeing who comes in soon.

I wonder if there will be any 'announcements' in the Radio Leeds interview tonight.

If they do they are missing s trick.
What they ought to do is announce there is going to be a big signing announced on our Facebook or YouTube at a particular time, to drive traffic.

Cunning.

Fev currently have only have 11 players announced for next year and at least 17 from last year's squad have left. Amongst those that have gone are just about all the players widely regarded as big earners (Leilua, Kheirallah, Ford, Taylor, Moors etc), and unlike previous years Fev won't be trying to outbid all comers, with automatic promotion and relegation gone it will be a rebuilding year for Fev on a much lower budget with the aim to make the top six and try to be competitive in the play-offs from there. That's not to say it won't still be a competitive team though.

The way the IMG scoring works, you really only have to make the playoffs. The final standing for the league is calculated by where you ended up in the playoffs.

So if you finish 5th but make it to the final but lose, you are regarded as second......so effectively 14th overall.

Trust me, as a Fev fan you don't need to tell me how irrelevant the regular season is!

Sorry. That was for everyone else too.
This is our first time. I appreciate you can tell us a few things about the Championship.

We'll be gentle with you.

I think it will be an interesting ride.
Looking forward to our local Derby.

If we can get Jonny Thompson playing for that one, and maybe Paul Mallinder we'll be on it.
(Depends how old you are to get that one)

Not sure I quite get the reference, even though I'm old enough to remember Jimmy Thompson let alone Jonny.

Yes, it will be good from our POV to have a Derby back. Suspect you will be a fair bit stronger than us this year, but we'll see.
