Looking at no new grounds for me this year unless there's a change of venue.

An interesting 6 minute mini documentary by the excellent Tifu Football on YouTube about Reynolds etc plan for purchasing a football club and plans for them is worth a watch. It's not just about throwing money at a club. Can any KR fan do a rough timeline of stops to get where they are today? -

I agree it was more Hull KR as my main focus tbh. However money doesn't always have positive outcomes RL wise. -
A Challenge Cup victory this weekend keeps the KR train steaming onwards. But how have they built the club into the version we see today? From Championship Rugby some 9 years ago to record crowds, stand extensions, silverware and not forgetting Erasure the story is a great one and not by the looks if it finished. And when you add Oldham's trajectory forward at the moment, with positive vibes around the place and currently sitting in 4th place in the Championship, how have these clubs gone about it and more importantly why cant other clubs follow suit?

From a club to club perspective of signing, in my time of watching Bradford, it's Paul Newlove. Despite competition from Danny Peacock and Shontayne Hape he is the best centre I've ever seen play for us. His try per game ratio of 66 in 70 games (wiki)is phenomenal. He pointed us in the direction of progression in the league but the bonus was still to come. The transfer of him to Saints and Dwyer, Loughton and Nickle (plus cash but I could be mistaken) helped propel Bradford into Bull Mania and within 2 years a SL title.

I keep an eye on them as the fellow BD team. Since Cougarmania they do have fanbase that with success and marketing they can build on. However. The cutting corners whilst in the Championship was I think the recent nail in the coffin. I think there's a dark cloud over the club, and don't think it's to do with the rainbow culture, however Rugby should be the priority primarily. It's a real head scratcher as I think they've a decent side.
