These 4 signings would be massive and get me excited unlike the ones already announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we would try to retain Moran, wilky, Morgan and baker. 23 Totally agree, really hope Moran and Wilky signed up on two year deals, both excellent last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t get excited about the signings so far, I fear that rugby league is not the game for you lad. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did fear for Newcastle a while ago now . I predicted this loop fixture rubbish back on the IMG thread last month but that was before Newcastle pulling out of the comp . We have I would guess Super Leagues preferred 2 in the championship playoff final , for the last ever promotion on merit . I just don't see how you can run league 1 on 8 clubs , it will become a farce and I can see Newcastle not being the last club the withdraw from the season at this rate . They need to restructure the Championship and League 1 , North/South , East/West whatever works best , but all of the clubs need to seriously look at the bigger picture and not just put their self interests first . Sorry gone off topic on this thread , squad looking great a lot of positives , the amount of 2 year contracts is a plus but that does obviously have some negatives particularly in view of this with Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mess, for Newcastle, for rugby league, and for League One. I just looked elsewhere and there are suggestions (eg from Hunslet RLFC) regarding merging/restructuring the Championship and League One, This surely has to happen, if only to avoid League One being a complete waste of time, an embarrassment to the sport and even more clubs collapsing due to lack of support and public interest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they were offered deals but decided to take up offers elsewhere. Could be more money or guaranteed playing time. Personally, I thought that all three were pretty average, although Wilkinson did pick up when Littler left.

I’m pretty sure they’ve been around the game long enough to know it’s all about opinions.
