Is one of our newcomers going to be the goalkicker or are we relying on a existing player.

Ben Reynolds is a goal kicker, so we should be ok.

He's already kicked  9 goals for us

Mixed it up. With it now. I reckon POR stands for Put Oldman Right !!!.  Cheers POR.

Hankinson and Longstaff leaving. Not surprised really, they both must have been on decent contracts. 

[Michael Bates]

Hankinson was class, shame he's gone. The Longstaff signing made to look even more bizarre now. Paid a fee for him and he still couldn't get a game.

[Rovers fev]

Hopefully both of them will have been on big pay packets and the club sees it better to move them on and bring in 3-4 other players instead of having 2

[Wolfey Rovers]

I'm getting pretty worried now if I'm honest. We can say well oh Ryan carr had 9 players at this point. But also Ryan carr had alot of money to throw at the solution. We don't have that now. All abit tense.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Hankinson reportedly set to sign for Salford.

It makes the announcement, a week ago, of a supporter sponsor for Longstaff a bit strange.

Indeed, though the fact that he is reportedly taking some time out of the game suggests personal reasons and that perhaps until recently he was expected to be with us in 2024.

             Was pleased when i thought we had Longstaff but it seems i was right that his agent would be looking to get better offers for him.Can't blame any player for moving on for a better deal.It is a short career and they need to make the best of their opportunities.

The club has stated that Longstaff is taking some time out of the game so maybe it's personal issues rather than angling for a better deal somewhere else.

After the two announcements today I think we can all take comfort because

I'm not confident that we will be anywhere near a playoff place, if anything we are looking more likely to be in a relegation battle.

[Rovers fev]

Relegation battle with just us and Whitehaven ? Everyone else seems in a much stronger place

We’ve seen plenty of 60 plus scores over last few years but this year I think we will be on the other side of them 

[Monkeymagic22]

Relegation battle?, no way with the quality of players we have already signed. Some people are overreacting a tad.

[Rovers fev]

We have 15 signed up with no depth, no links to players, no word from the club about recruitment, what players are even available ?

[sentoffagain2]

      I thought above 7th would be a decent season for us but losing Hankinson and Longstaff i think we will be below that.

[Wolfey Rovers]

We are plagued with the curse of injuries in the last few years. One or two injuries and we will be absolutely knackered.

[Monkeymagic22]

People are just being too negative. We have core of quality players, and also the dual reg players. And i’m sure that there’s more signings in the pipeline, perhaps a few from Oz. Reynolds, Aekins, Springer and Jones would get in any other team in the Championship.

[Featherstonerovers2000]

I can 100% tell you there is 4 lads on trail or signed for next Season 

1 Dean Robert’s 

2 Jack arnold

3 Kyle trout 

4 oli farrar from Wakefield reserves 

[Wolfey Rovers]

Kyle trout in my opinion is useless. He hasn't impressed anywhere he's gone.
