hrtbps 430 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 How long did Leeds sign Briscoe for? I can't see him getting another contract with them. It'd be great if we could get him back on a permanent deal.

They would be my picks too along with Cameron King ,but it looks like he may be wanted by S.L.clubsRender may also be worth taking a punt on as he would not be on high contract money.

Not sure we can hang around risking other clubs signing our best players on the off chance we get into SL - we are some way from securing a top 5 spot right now. Anyway, this yearLondon pretty much went with the squad that scraped into the Championship top 4. Think we would make a lot more high-profile signings if we did go up.

fairfolly 729 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 Phantom. you will make the top5 no problem. Toronto,Toulouse, Leigh, Fev and surprise packets York or Sheffield for 5th spot. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you sign a SL squad and don't make SL you are damned. If you make SL and have a championship squad you are damned. Who'd be a championship chairman?

jamescolin 589 Report post Posted June 29, 2019 Let's go back to one league it would be a lot easier. OK there are complications but all the Yorkshire clubs play each other plus some Lancashire clubs of equal standing and so on. I have said it before and it would cut out a lot of the messing about. It wont happen but there would be no are we up to this standard or that for promotion. Gates would be better and standards higher in due course.

As much as I'd love us to be FT and in the top division, I'd suggest that trying to split Sky funding equally between so many clubs would bring many back to PT status. Rather than trying to progress the game, it would drag towards the lowest common denominator. One division worked when travelling between Yorkshire and Lancashire was difficult for PT players who worked 12 hour shifts. We're now in 2019: that's no longer an issue.

I think they are the best 8 we have and imo the rest are average and we will hopefully plug the rest of the gaps with DR and a couple of signings before the season starts next year. I think it’s the best I’ve felt for years in an optimistic way looking at the Teams strengths going forward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
