My question then is, why did the owner led the club decline in 2014 so that it was certain to be relegated? Was it a problem of the owner's "cash flow?" Or was it uncertainty on his part as to whether he wanted to continue?

If the club could have stayed up it would have been much better, and perhaps Kieran Dixon and Matthew Cook could have been retained. It is still going to be tough next year, but a couple of forwards of the Vave quality will certainly make the club a real force in the Championship and hopefully be a real chance for promotion back to Super League.

Who knows why DH thought this embarrassment of a squad was a good idea. While the signings for next season look positive we still need a new man at the top.

I heard a whisper David nearly walked as he was as sick as the fans at the conduct of a fair chunk of our squad. The ones who took a lot and delivered very little, if anything in some cases.

Frankly they alienated me and plenty of other fans and I was only forking out for a season ticket, travel etc. I can't conceive of what I'd have made of it all if I was forking out a million plus a year.

Media reports that David didn't even bother to watch the second half of the semi final last season suggests he pretty much had had enough at that point.

Anyway that's all chip paper wrapping now and Joey seems to be building a decent squad for next season. Hopefully something positive can be salvaged and those money grabbing clowns won't end up killing the club.

You have also made a very good signing from our rivals, can play backrow or prop. should be announced next week.

Can only think Lovegrove, Langley (but surely he would go to Bulls) and a complete longshot, a guy Joey knows well, Weyman ??
