@jdgsport I agree I thought Dudson was our best prop at the time. Underrated

I think next season we might go to a hybrid team where we have 3-5 full time players then another 5 on decent contracts then the rest of the squad as part time contracts and then possibly move to a 50/50 the year after and keep progressing when the restructuring happens going full time and then in 4-5 years hopefully bring back the academy. 

this has to be the aim and I believe the current owners will hopefully find an investor in the next couple of years who can take us back up to super league with some heavy investment. 

IMG will be looking at the model and will find ways to promote the sport better than has been done so should get better sponsorships with better coverage on different outlets

@mckeeverviking 

As you suggest the option of a PT/FT split for Championship teams could help smooth the funding gap as it is atm. This could encourage Championship clubs to move forward, as long as it is properly supervised. That has never been an RFL strongpoint however.

Certainly the popularity of Women's soccer has set a new challenger for TV time and rugby league will have to be prepared to fight for our share.

Could be Hiku? Not getting into the team ahead of Mellor and Reynolds and now they have added Lam.

Hingano from Leigh has signed a long term deal with York.

If we are talking Leigh players, I'd be happy for us to keep Roberts and Dixon for starters.

Be interesting to see how many we sign and how many players we go with in the squad in total.

Are you going to share with us the name which was whispered into your shell-like?

@sunny I wasn't given a name sunny hence the whisper quote but heard by a good source that TG has signed.

Would of loved the whisper to be true and it was Mellor.
