Slightly odd to be pushing player sponsorships when we don't know who half the players are. Or maybe sponsor the shirt & good luck with whoever wears it!!

Thought they were only offering signed players, and the sponsorship fee has come down!

Remember when we had players to sponsor. Those were the days. I agree poor timing. I suggest they get making some announcements soon ( so we can all moan about how underwhelming they are!).

As every move by the club over the last few years could be described.

Every player we have signed so far, is available for sponsorship. that makes common sense to me! every club in The Championship is still signing players, most likely due to the big reduction in the share they receive from The RFL, we are still in October, the season has only been finished a month!

Training starts again before long, part time players have to find other work. No point in dithering.

Maybe we need to see if they're available for a photo shoot.........apologists gotta do what they do











Too bloody right......used to be the 2nd week of November at the latest. As for dithering......[url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-59058945I suspect a few Aussies will be on their way now that they've opened their exit door[/url

Not sure that is true jaybs, we have named a handful but claim to have signed 20. Why would you rush (sic) to sponsor one of the handful to subsequently find we have signed the 5 best RL players on the planet (not going to happen of course)?
Sure if 1 of the named few has a connection with you fine but otherwise...............

Well as far as I know the players confirmed as signed, so far are as follows; Will Lovell Rian Horsman, Lewis Bienek, Illiess Macini .
Declan O’Donell, Dan Coates, Rob Oakley. Rhys Curran, Dean Parata, Oli Leyland, Will Blakemore, Brad Foster/

Yes I agree if you want to sponsor some name, then you will hold on, the many players I sponsored over the years, were not always major big names, one of my first was an Academy player, Tony Martin, but he quickly became a major player for us, that give me some satisfaction. Then we just got the shirt in a bag, but I still have each and every players shirt still.

It was said we were looking at some Aussie players again, but we were waiting for working visas to be confirmed, well if it is anything like my driving licence renewal, they said do it online, it will be quicker I did on the 18th July, and I am still waiting?

We are only on the 2nd November!

I think it would be really rather good if the club make some announcements this week. And by announcements I mean playing and coaching staff acquired not asking me for more money. I’d like to see a little energy. Many of the key Championship hopefuls look like they have recruited heavily. Our relative silence suggests we don’t see ourselves as that this year which, bearing in mind the owners reaction to 7th place last year seems inconsistent.

If the club are doing visa applications and not using an immigration lawyer they deserve to wait years.....
I suppose they could say they are waiting to see exactly what's at stake in 2022 before signing anyone?

I would suggest the future of the club is at stake. Another season like the last one having moved to a new ground could be fatal.

On November 2nd 2008, I shared a few too many beers with Karl Temata in the Walkabout on The Bush. He'd been up all night and was having a last hurrah, watching England get walloped at the RLWC.....it was a Sunday morning.....he was due at Training/Registration the following day and it was his intention to get home to bed by Noon to stand any chance of not looking like a train wreck on day 1 back at the office.

This was when we were a proper professional club.....

I really do wish you'd stop apologising for the shambles we have become

Don't think some! realise how many Civil Servants are still working from Home! here in the UK, using a Lawyer or not! will not deliver aa miracle, I have done everything possible to get my driving licence renewed!

As a former Government Official, nothing surprises me. My far superior half sent off her licence to update address & got new photo licence back in 4 days. My old Department would still be deciding whose turn to get the tea it was. Some miracles clearly do happen.

I have done everything possible to get my driving licence renewed!

Got mine within 4 days from online application to receipt

Yes a neighbour said the same, I did mine online, but this is my fist plastic driving licence, but it is not acceptable! I was reading some people who have retired and starting on Government pension, are waiting over 2 to 3 months for their first payment? Civil Servants do not want to return to offices, but with DLVA being based in Wales, restrictions for offices seem tighter, my licence expired at the start of September last year! but they extended the end date 11 months longer, but from the 18th July online, is getting a little silly now! I check every day online, this morning still saying, in progress lol

The Welsh like their tea-breaks.

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/ ... ces-delays I don't know if things have improved since the Summer.

The simple answer is NO! I received a letter from the DLVA today, confirming they did receive my application on the 18th July online, and that is still not ready to be sent out, the manager admitted, The DLVA have high standards, but they accept in my case they have not kept that standard, and finished, we do not know as presently when it will be ready to send out.

But I feel more for the people have retired this year, and are still to receive their first pension payment from the Government.

Well I've just emailed the club to say that I received their begging letter....sorry player sponsorship information and it is being processed, but due to covid restrictions on working practices here in New Zealand, it might take longer than normal for me to decide I won't give the club a brass farthing until they announce the full squad and what players are available.
I recall trying to sponsor a player as a gift for my daughter in 2007 and being too late to the party in December....I wonder if the shelves will be bare this year before Christmas (or if we will have announced our squad)?

Thats very OTT, I'll provide a fuller response when I've finished my cuppa!!

Bloody hell- is Dido Harding running the DVLA these days?

Lordy Lord, jaybs has no chance!

Starting to accept that lol, but I will keep on driving until the police stop me one day, at least I now have the letter received yesterday from DLVA, to show the friendly policeman/
