See you in January Serious About Rugby League have seen this post and will shortly splash clickbait all over Facebook linking us with exciting prospect Tom Bullweed. Anyway...yes it's phoney war season. Apart from JSL, I don't think we have been strongly linked with many other signings, but that doesn't mean there aren't more to come in...for instance, few if any of our overseas signings in recent years became common knowledge before we announced them and with visas etc to sort they might take time to be announced, if indeed there are any such signings in the pipeline. Then if as mentioned before on here we're getting a contingent from Leeds it might still be a while before we hear about them as they'd probably train full-time with the Rhinos until January and might be contingent on pre-season injuries etc. So frustrating as it is, it remains worth repeating that you can't always judge how strong the squad looks until close to the start of the season. Same for the likes of Leigh who presumably will have a few more to announce including perhaps more from St Helens on loan/DR. The one question in my mind at the moment is that if any reinforcements from Leeds are going to be on DR, we are going to look very short of numbers for the Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup campaigns. But again, there's still two and a half months until the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we just elect to not take part in those competitions, or is that option only available to those championship clubs that the RFL wish to manoeuvre into SL?

Yes super greed will do the game no good in the long run.Game prices it's cheaper to watch West Ham,Man City,and Leeds U than us.I know Premiership can afford it with TV money but Championship Football Clubs are struggling but Barnsley ,Notts Forest,and Sheffield U all offer season tickets about £3 a game cheaper than us and Huddersfield Town£7.50 a game cheaper.I am not bothered as i can afford it but i think we will sell fewer memberships this year than last.

You may be right on the sales front, but let's hope not. That's a very fair point re the cost of games, and the whole thing is looking unsustainable in the long term. However the solution to all of this, which nobody wants to consider (least of all SL clubs, who have enriched themselves and lived beyond their means for the past 25 years at the expense of the wider game) is for all RL clubs to go back to being more or less part time. The way Barnsley are playing at the minute they'd have to pay me to go and watch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First why would we want to pull out CC gives us chance to play SL club and make some money and 1895 the chance to win some silverware But to answer your question that option is only available to teams who are not full members of the RFL i.e TWP and TO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the right answer is NO not playing i the cups was down to the clubs got nowt to do with RFL and remember TO haven't played in challenge cup for the last 4 years You got to understand if ottawa had joined the league this season by your reckoning could be classed as another option only available to those championship clubs that the RFL wish to manoeuvre into SL? THEY bought hemels licence so would be full members and would have had to have to play in both cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be cheaper up front, but when you add on therapy fees and subsequent 24 hour care fees then you'll soon see that a Rovers ST is SO much cheaper!! "Out of the way,son. Where's my medal?"

If you think that was fair or just, or didn't give Toulouse a clear advantage, there's some tartan paint I need you to go and fetch for me.
