phildog Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Common knowledge on the terraces, don't know why it doesn't just go public. According to LeedsLive, Rhinos are preparing a deal for Luke Hooley. Both players, who we have spent time on imoroing; will bring us ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except a thank you from Wudbes and Leeds. Current financing system from the RFL in basically binding clubs to 1 year contracts is a free hit to SL and it stinks. I hope our club is advanced this time in good recruitment to bring in players ready to hit the ground running, let's nick some good young uns from somebody else for a change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really blame players for moving for a bigger contract or a shot at SL.These two have put in some tremendous performances for the club,so I don't think we have been short changed in that respect. However,I do appreciate where you are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With TG, l think the pull of his home town team is enough. As for Hooley, if he can get a shot at one of the biggest clubs in the game, good for him. The shame is that we won't be getting too much in the form of recompense l reckon, which is a shame. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 When Hooley came to Batley I believe his intentions was to try and get back into Super League as he was at Wakefield Trinity. It's been a pleasure watching him, and good luck in the future. Gilmore as grown on me and his wife as an establishment just outside of the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The scrim reaper Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I've heard 2 figures mentioned regarding gilmore 40k and 60k at widnes which unfortunately for us is around half a dozen players! Plus he doesn't have to travel far for training! As mentioned before I don't blame anyone for leaving for more money in this game! although I did here gilmore had turned down higher offers to stay with batley this year! Both Hooley and gilmore have been great servants for our club and I wish them all the luck in the world where ever they go! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep The Faith Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Good luck to the guy… family comes first, Fuel rises haven’t help too and Widnes throwing silly money about isn’t the best thing I’m sure a certain eagle former Batley loanee will do a job in the 7 shirt next year Edited August 4, 2022 by Keep The Faith 2 http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

Sherlock was a fans favourite and his parents had a reyt afternoon at Odsal with us all, when he played for us. Good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true...Have you considered the documents may not have been completed and approved by the RFL?. and Batley do not announce anything until it is complete, other Clubs do of course. Just wait and see. WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO SWIPE THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know any details All I would say is that it is not Aston's place or business to comment on Batley's arrivals or departures for next season ! It is up to Batley and Tom Gilmore himself to announce what he is doing next season at the appropriate time ! If he does go I wish him well as he has certainly earned his corn with us many times over . However , I am sure Tom will understand when I say that I hope he has two lousy games against us next season !!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Championship you can't sign players until the end of their contract. This doesn't stop them being approached, of course. 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Chris_T Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I heard Gilmore is leaving as he doesn't want to commit to play Superleague so no good being at Batley next year. Onwards and upwards!!! 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
