Or a Lachlan Walmsley.

4 try’s yesterday and 64 try’s in 58 previous. No matter what league we end up in I’d be interested in him for 2024 or asap. The lad knows the way to the try line and he’s about to hit his prime years 25 shortly.

I agree we need some speed on the wing.

Not a chance until MC goes

Anybody know who this supposed new backer is.

Chip shop says it’s the football guy? Who knows? Been waiting a long time for the white knight.

Trouble is with a football guy, is that his priority is football, as and when he gets bored with Trin.

And, to point out the obvious, aren’t we just getting rid of a football guy in MC?

Are we sure people aren’t putting 2+2 together and making a couple of million here?

I had heard we had signed up a nice new sponsor for the new east stand which will provide better income than previous deals and it was an advance on some of those monies that enable the deal for Luke Gale, hence the new investment line there? Not heard anything about an actual new owner coming in, just MC stepping down as CEO and a replacement taking over that role. MC & JM would still hold the shares to the club.

If there is a new owner on the horizon then the football club guy is the most likely candidate but you need to be careful what you wish for there.

What happened to the Welsh winger that went to Featherstone, has he gone back to the Valleys? He had a bit of pace.

I'd sign him in a heartbeat.

Still in the Fev squad but not getting game time. I think.

Indeed. I know people think I back him up all the time but this is a massive flaw for him.
Whether he's right or wrong about the agent he doesn't like, a CEO has to be able to negotiate rather than stubbornly dig your heels in.
He's lost us an avenue to getting good players.
