He’s not no. The thought of it fills me with dread if he continues.

Mr chantler wants to save money by asking players to make there own way to Fev game as coach bill is a little bit behind.

It's not all doom and gloom. There are plenty positives.

I am informed Derek has held productive talks with a potential investors, not only new ones, but also including a previous one from before Sporting Club Leigh's formation keen to come back into the fold, as well as one, not known to be short of a few bob who has sponsored matches before. All very encouraging.

I was also speaking to one of our shirt sponsors yesterday and he has told me his company, and he believes most of the other shirt sponsors, are all on board next season. Great to hear.

Purtil HAS been told he has a job next season. He is the man I would choose to over haul the playing register, lead recruitment for 2019, implement new structures and begin building up from the grass roots. I am pleased about that.

However no one actually knows the RFL structure for 2019. Unbelievably it is not yet confirmed so that is making life more complex for the current custodians, potential new investors, Head Coach and players alike, especially around the offering of 2019 coaching and playing contracts.

I do agree about communication though, it is absolutely woeful.

As an aside I am hearing all is not well at Featherstone either, for very similar reasons.

The game is in trouble, and chopping and changing structures does not attract investors, sponsors or fans to it.

Do you really have to keep doing this all the time??

And if that's not true can he be banned, or is he allowed to make up stories like that about the club?? If we can it's Stella time, and I could have a field day by 10pm

I'm willing to wager that a good half of our squad come from Yorkshire and would have been making their way to Featherstone under their own steam, anyway!

A statement has now been made and it does at least let us know that KC has gone and appears to not be pulling a wage from here forward, same for Morts and Lovett. Good news in the circumstances re contracts and especially that KC has gone (no malice intended I just believe it best for our future). The statement also mentions the other players that have moved on. I wish info had been more timely but at least it is now done.
Thanks for the updates HR. I always trust that you supply info (positive and negative) with the best intentions of keeping people informed (appropriately) whenever you can.

Harold,

Many, many thanks for that positive post! It's good to know what kind of efforts are actually going on behind the scenes - although it gives me no satisfaction to hear that Fev may be having similar problems. It looks like Salford, Leeds and Widnes may have things mostly their own way in next season's Championship!
