Plenty going on but nothing to report yet. Just finalising arrangements for friendly . Announcement next week after rfl clearance. In discussions with players and as soon as they're over the line we'll let you know. Race night this Saturday at 7 to raise funds for the club

Cheers Gary, Are the current signed players and coaching staff attending the Race night,? be good to see the players amongst the fans in an informal manner. Can't make it unfortunately due to a prior arrangements but hope it goes well.

Think we are playing Huddersfield in a friendly.

Gary these SL friendly talks ... is there any potential connection there to a link - up in the thoughts with this , and with our squad situation is DR still at all in the thinking ?

[Derwent]

I see that CARLA and the Cumbria League have voted to allow DR with the local pro clubs, but only for lads in their first season of pro rugby. Could be something for us to take advantage of hopefully.

[Anonymouse]

Much prefer the long term loans or season loans from SL clubs , DR is unreliable in terms of lack of squad training or experienced players and no knowing who is coming week after week or even if you get them after being told they were coming .

[DavidM]

we've all gone round and round with personal opinions , I was enquiring about the official position which is interesting and all that matters .

[GMcK]

Hi . Club position is that season long loans are the preferred option.

So preferred I posted twice ...

[DavidM]

I think for most of us as well from common sense , stability and experience

[Hate the rec]

Good to see that the club is hosting a concert at DP next year,  always thought that it should be used more often, hopefully it will be well backed, well done all involved , the new board are certainly trying to generate interest and funds, keep it going guys.

Heard a lad from Kells is in talks with Town..

His dad used to play for us in the 90's I think.

[Carlisle1921]

I was out round town after the race night last night and quite a lot of people were congratulating Bryan Ritchie on signing for Town, I assume that will be our next announcement

[Guest]

Hopefuly another few before Christmas, time is getting closer for the new season kicking off.,

Wear ??

[dkw]

Wear ??

Yes, we are.

[Pink panther]

Dom wear he's a half back I think

[Carlisle1921]

If we are signing a half back from Kells I assume that means we won't be signing Dom Smallwood anymore?

[Hate the rec]

Well done everyone that attended last nights event at the club, it was a great night and raised a good amount of cash for the club.

[Guest]

Think the difference between Smallwood and Wear is experience, Smallwood hasn't a lot compared to Wear who had a short spell at Wigan u16s, then back to open age at Kells, in and out of the conference Carla teams, Wear like his farther a clever player and is a good organiser,

dom is training with town but just as a trialist with the other local amateurs

[snoopdog7]

Noticed Barrow have their first friendly on Sunday!, makes me start to worry how far behind we are in preparation for the season which is quickly going to be on us.

Hi snoop. Interested to understand how you come to that conclusion?

[Derwent]

Hi snoop. Interested to understand how you come to that conclusion?

Probably because we always are, it's a Town tradition over the last few years.

[DavidM]

Indeed , and I am concerned as well . But I do think this is different to previous years , when there were fewer excuses . We dont know how major a rebuilding job this new set up found itself faced with and what state they were starting from . Maybe bigger than we thought and basic reestablishing some kind of stability , even stabilising the club itself , was a big task . My horizons have narrowed a lot for next year just thinking about things and what you hear . Having a team , laying foundations again and hopefully playing to our max and as a unit with enthusiasm under a new coach , and making the play offs is an achievement . It could be a longterm view from here for us
