I don’t know if you have seen Eccles interview but some interesting stuff coming out of it. (1)We’ll be fully Full time. Not  hybrid. That seems to put paid to some of our very best performers - Bienek, Stock, Lovell and Worthington. Hope we give them a proper send off as opposed to our usual approach of ignoring. (2) some retentions but seemingly not many, number of 3 mentioned, and those players will be squad players ready to step up (one assumes overseas quotas no longer apply). I’d guess Tindall, Adibiyi, Poscelli maybe Curtis D would be in the frame. Any room for up and coming youngsters- unclear. What do I know but Porter and Davidson showed promise to me. (3) if I’ve understood correctly some returners from our last unsuccessful foray into SL. I could see that meaning Oli Leyland, Sam Davis seems an Eccles favourite but who else. One assumes, with due respect not Meadows or Miloudi and we appear to be fishing in a different overseas pond to Campo. So not sure who they mean. All change that’s for sure. Real shame if we don’t get SL slot but it’ll be an interesting ride next season.

And at the end of that triumphal season, we challenge Bradford & stuff em again. 

The 1895 is our best route to Wembley (Sod’s Law it’s cancelled). It would be funny though if we got Bradford in the Cup and turned them over. Let’s see who we recruit first before we get ahead of ourselves. 

Met with Grant Wechsel and Paul White on Saturday. Really impressed with what they said. 

Talking of RL management decisions. 
I’d somehow managed not to hear Nigel Wood speak but there was an interview with BBC sports guy today so I thought I’d get some value from my licence fee and take a watch. Hmm. You know those execs who people say ‘talk a good game’ or ‘look the part’ but aren’t all that. He’s not that kind of guy us he. And they say the sport is tin pot!
