What on Earth are you talking about?

You said he hadn’t made the squad. You were wrong.

Suck it up for a change.

 But you proved he was in the squad which I conceded to, but the overriding fact is he can't get in the team, the coach believes a prop is a better selection.

Can't add much more to that.

Excellent news. Bailey Hodgson signed with Manly Sea in the NRL.

Can Fev afford to pay Addy?

If Featherstone and Bradford want their own thread can we sort one? This thread was set up in good faith to record transfers and discuss their relative merits.

I understand where you're coming from, but from a Featherstone and a Bradford standpoint, it's setting the games up against one another next season for a bit of volatility. Not with both sets of supporters either,just on the pitch.

Yeah great news, he is such a talented prospect. It’s So unfortunate that he has had 2 Season ending injuries in a row, otherwise I reckon he would already be an established first grader by now. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the fullback jersey at manly next year.

What's that got to do with transfers, though?

Please can we keep this thread on track. The original was derailed. Surely any discussions or t1t-for-tat should be for another thread.

Heard a lot about Bailey Hodgson, his potential.  A very special talent.  His position is full back, but a move to the centre position, you say is in the cards.  Sounds promising.

Trinity will have a significantly larger budget than any other Championship team., according to new owner Matt Ellis.

Watch this space I suppose.

I’m not sure why he is saying this?, surely better to do your talking on the field?.

I would guess it PR and positivity. Clearly trying to promote positive news on the clubs media platforms last couple of weeks. All very positive.

Worked out well for Fev

Just comes across as kind of big headed to me, as well as potentially setting them up for a fall. I know from past experience that Powell teams can struggle when it comes to actually winning finals.

Wakey are in for a shock this season. Their squad looks poor to me so far. 

I don't think we are, I'm pretty sure Powell knows exactly what's needed.

Are you for real? It's called positive publicity. The only way any demoted side can keep its fans on board is to appear ambitious and willing to spend to get back to SL. He needs to generate interest in the club, as Beaumont so successfully proved with Leigh. He's not saying we will win the league if you listen to him, he's saying that the money is there to make it more possible than for most teams. That's what fans want to hear, not empty words about winning, but quantifiable expressions that we intend to try.

It works out well if you know what you are doing. Best will in the world, Long was not Powell, and the people running Fev do not have the resources of Matt Ellis. There are no guarantees, but so far we look sound, especially the backroom staff, which matches most SL clubs and betters some. Don't think we've really started yet with the recruitment side of things.

I think it's fantastic that Wakefield wildcats have a new owner who is willing to put a lot of money into the club.  If he does a Beaumont at Leigh Leoperds it's brilliant for the Wildcats and Super League.  Sounds encouraging. 

[Coco]

Does anyone have info, on what is happening at Oldham.  They seem to be buying a lot of players.  Who is financing this club.  I know Mike Ford is back.  I believe they signed another from Wigan Warriors, but unclear who?

Powell did as well in his last gig as Fev did this year, so does he really know what he’s doing?

I’m not sure what this approach will do in 2024 as winning the comp isn't the sole measure of obtaining a SL place in 2025.

The bonus points on offer for winning the Championship final could be a big factor for next season. Although, Wakefield look relatively comfortable anyway.

Back on topic, Matty Marsh to Sheffield.

Sam Powell to Warrington
