Jordan Baldwinson has been crowned Championship young player of the year.

George Milton and Mason Tonks have both joined Doncaster permanently.

So we are paying out wages next year so Brierley can play for someone else and in 2017 we can give a 25 year old championship half back with no SL experience a go?



What an utterly terrible deal that would be for us.

Yep.



But i will believe it when i see it.

Yeah the deal has apparently changed already once. Even though we were going to get him if Leigh didn't get promoted we've suddenly decided to loan him back JUST as Leigh's Middle 8 campaign is hanging by a thread.....no, really!

Horses mouth, which I think you'd believe wouldn't you?

Gary Hethrington told you?

Neigh. I wouldn't believe it if was Mr Ed. Never believe a talking horse till you see the signed contract

Robbie ward is being released by the club.

Current standings for 2016 season, obviously missing the hooker/s

Kath Hetherington surely?

I had an impromptu breakfast with Mr Hetherington yesterday morning, whilst he waited for his meeting to arrive. Would not confirm or deny any signings, but I could tell from his responses that there are three waiting to be announced, band enough questions at him you can form an opinion. Then again he was full of beans and fully expected the team to turn around last night and win their remaining games, so I suppose bluff could have being the game

.



And before anyone asks, he had a round of toast, and yes, I paid
