The Dewsbury-Wakefield ground share would have been ideal for you then

I think the players I mentioned Abdul, Logan could do a good job in SL I think they could be very good in the championship and again I think Hull are looking to off load players on loan Cooke said as much I think them 2 players would be a very good addition to Rovers squad right now but I Think its politics would Rovers want to be looking like they where relying on there bitterest rivals and would Hull want to be seen giving them a leg its poor really if it works it should happen and its about time the bitterness between the clubs stopped, yes we want to beat each other but is only rugby at the end of the day good sense for the players if they can get good game time and help there careers at a club 10mins up the road

Now we are a"Second Tier Club" should we be looking into a dual registration agreement?
Maybe with Jamie P. Contact at Leeds this could work in both our favours They can have Dixon and we'll have Hardaker.!!
Plus an development players from their under 23's. and they could take some of our first who don't fancy championship for a season, Thornley, Walker etc.

We've only got two players contracted, officially at least. So right now, they'd add plenty.

While Abdull brings a new dimension to the concept of being 'young and hungry', if Addy stays at Bratfud and the alternative is a 37-year old Scott Prince then he starts to look attractive, in Rubensesque kinda way. But I don't think he is really what we need - an experienced hb who can direct play is what we should be looking for. Somebody suggested Liam Finn, on one of the forums.

As for a slim centre, who missed most of 2016 with injury, though unconfirmed I expect Salter to stay.

A lot depends on who we retain. Fash played a few games for Leigh, iirc - somebody like him might be a better fit. Depth and rotation is more important in the forwards.

Im pretty sure the 2 from bradford are no longer coming.Addy is no loss but mitch clark is quality,fingers crossed he still comes.

The Bradford local rag said they were both coming still.
Agreed about Clark. Could be an upgrade on Walker when he finds a new club.

I think you'll get promoted if you can put together a half decent team. With sheens gone and mar kicking off every 5 minutes I expect them to be a lot worse this season unless they sack their coach at some point. Obviously with a chris chester pre season you'll also all be confident of finishing above wakey in the middle 8's too

I'll give it two months, and the wakey fans will be after his resignation.

Leeds have a DR arrangement with Featherstone and that will continue next season.

Wakey will be the team in trouble next year. They had a couple of wins this year when Chester arrived that saved them from the middle 8s. They would have struggled badly this year if not for those wins. That is your aim for next season. Not to beat the championship clubs in the season but to beat Wakey twice - in the 8s and £1m game.
I predicted KR to go down this year once the bottom 4 was sorted mainly down to injuries. I was nearly wrong till that last 2 minutes but I fully expect Wakey to be on the trap door soon and unfortunately for them I also think they could then be in massive trouble when they do fall and could end up there for many, many years. KR mustn't get distracted by the teams that just aim to spoil. That happens a lot with the trainee refs you will get.

I agree with a lot you say, but at the risk of sounding disrespectful of the other championship teams and the 23 round season, if we're in there next august with Salford wakey and Leigh we won't be targeting the mpg we'll be looking to win 5 games to get us up
