I don't disagree with you, its more the availability of suitable players for making the step up to the championship as we would need at least 7 - 8 players to be able to sustain that level of rugby, by the time the play-offs are finished most are tied to new contracts, which tends to leave the journeyman type of player, and do we really want to go down that route again?

If we go up we will have to just crack on and build as strong a squad as we can 

Yes - but it looks like the BOD and Muzza etc are already looking into the future - they have already a few signed up that we know about and hopefully more that we dont know.

This is a vast improvement than the last couple of years. And i dont think Muzza is going to get rid of all the props and replace them with hookers?

If I remember rightly the news was leaked out by a gobsxxxe jambo whose son plays for you lot. Town only stopped rumours

Hilariously they are claiming on their forum that they have never announced a player before we announced he had left us, they must have a very short memory, its happened loads of bloody times.

On another note do we know when the Oldham match is to be played?

Bit of an over reaction from our jam munching neighbours on the Eccleston signing, it's been enjoyable couple of days at work. None of them have an issue that Daryl Clarke has signed for Saints next season but its different apparently because there's a picture of Dave with a town top on. 

It doesn't matter that he will still give 100% for a team that may or not pay his wages to the end of the season, and has been a consistent performer all season. Storm in a teacup.

It's just what the townies do pal....to look like they're getting one over on us it's pathetic really.

The irony in you posting this on a Town forum is incredible...

Long gone are the days of players playing for either side and hating the other. It's now just the new norm of players either switching clubs or using the other to get a better deal at their current club. I won't hold it against the player for securing a deal and looking after himself/family. Unfortunately there will always be a minority of those who will hold it against them. Town are getting a solid player in Dave who will score a bagful in league 1.

Spot on there. 

Those days are long gone. 

David Seeds is the last one that comes to mind, just couldn't play for Town (Or anyone else) despite their best efforts

Ironically seedsy was going to sign for town from Kells but was put off by an ex town player/coach who said town didn't have a pot to pish and would probably end up not getting paid..

See Brad Holroyd has gone to the Dark side for the rest of the season, does that mean they have jacked of Dave for signing for us

Wouldn't have thought so, they need all the bodies they can get. 

Can see the sense in Brad going there, better level of rugby for him and a good player for Haven in a position they are short. 

[gillmeister]

Id say its more that Haven have a winger who is only 18 playing championship rugby and Brad will bring extra cover in that area

[The Voodooguru]

Haven have gone from having the begging bowls out and worrying about the future with players unpaid, to adding a quality winger to their squad. Bounty must have put a substantial amount into them for that turnaround so quickly. We all know that Holroyd will definitely add something to them, good luck to them both.

Looks like Doncaster are going all out for promotion with Mahe Fonua & Bureta Faraimo signed up after leaving Castleford. Big statement that.

This is the major problem with RL at the moment , players hopping around from club to club every year or so .Super League Clubs complain of the threat of relegation not enabling the Clubs near the bottom to build gradually because of the pressure of having to stay up . They want to try it at our level where 6 ot 7 leave every year and we more or less have to re-build every year .
