Good news, particularly in the light of York flashing the cash about.

Who say that players don't sometimes exhibit loyalty?

Plenty more squad news coming up this weekend and next week.

I'm trying to drip feed information to give supporters the chance to digest and discuss news as it is announced.

I also feel that players who have committed themselves to the club (either as a new signing or an existing squad member) deserve a bit of their own fanfare.

Hope this is OK with you guys!

Good news, most notably for our defence, but will be interested to see how he goes with a coach who "wants to play an expansive game". Last saw Rob pass a ball in 2009.

He was only following instructions, Nick.

"... Passing the ball has no place in modern Rugby League. Sticking it up your jumper is the only sensible option in the majority of situations. It saves you the embarrassment of forward passes (although referees rarely notice these); your colleague dropping the ball / knocking-on and interception tries by the opposition.

The only exception to this golden rule is when you're chasing a bonus point in the last ten minutes of the game...

Do not worry about boring the spectators with one man rugby. They are only there to pay your wages."

[Extract from a discarded training manual found last month in North Kirklees.]

Read the press release - he turned down more money from a rival club.

I wonder who that was, don't you?

Your completely wrong there Kelsey, trust me.

Not one Batley player is on anywhere near that amount per week.

Tom keep drip feeding the news, the more good news e mails we get the better. Do the press relies go to the media? Would be good to see some in the paper /on local radio.

Maybe SPicer opted for a team who finished higher up the table, maybe he likes the new coach.
