Salford take over done, good for the game. Hope the fans back them now. As mentioned before, a fire sale at Salford wouldn't have been good for us.

Seems all 12 clubs now have wealthy owners, time to put their heads together, get the right TV deal and get the sport moving in the right direction. Can't see a better opportunity. Also all clubs in a good position, so harder to sign players and the NRL will be looking more at our players, so youth players become more and more important.

[quote="Faithful One":6rlcvs27]It would be a shame if it was one of them, but over the next few years we need people to want to play for Hull FC to rebuild the brand that's been battered over the last few years. It may sound arrogant when you're demanding that after finishing joint bottom, but hopefully the changes that have been made would encourage anyone to give it another shot. With them both coming off the back of serious injury maybe they felt the care they received was sub-par, and by the reports coming out of the club, it probably was.[/quote:6rlcvs27] I fear it may be one of them. I also see the RFL have just announced that the points system for misdemeanours has now sensibly been deemed to start from 1st January and with not see a carry over from last year's transgressions. Ligi will l be pleased

Putting games on streaming with some key games on BBC/Channel4 is a big financial gamble but something has to change. Also need to factor in the cost of filming the games. That said even the BBC would cough up more if you were giving them games like the season opener, Good Friday and the Grand Final rather than 3rd choice pick.
