Sorry to be a bucket of gloom, but I'm still of the mindset that we will be going bust soon enough until I see a shred of evidence to the contrary. This bizarre interim ownership limbo means I feel any signing is futile. And yes I know I'm a mardy eeyore.

I wonder if any of the new signings are given the option to opt out of the pension scheme

What evidence could be provided tho??

Evidence of what is coming when Sawyer and Perez leave. What's the plan beyond this interim management team?

Plan? There's a plan? That's been kept quiet.

Don't think that idea will take on though. What's the world coming to when people start up the Bulls with an actual coherent business plan? We can't have people coming in and just paying the pensions in the normal fashion, what sort of plan is that?

No, can't see it working. Plans and the Bulls don't mix, though that said, there might possibly be someone with one of those special 'cunning' plans squirrelled away, but not a real one - you know, one that might work...or is that the one we've just had?

Anyone got any thoughts on HKR loan signing then as I see the rumour of Will Oakes is now dead as he signed for Dewsbury for 12m

I think that was put to bed when Greg Johnson signed. Keinhorst anyone? Said in League paper no offers for him yet.

KR made it very clear recently that they wanted Oakes, Keinhorst & Elliot Wallis to go out on season long loans. Wallis has gone to York, so that only leaves Keinhorst as openly available. I suspect the main reason they want him to go though is that he's likely on better money than he's worth (to tempt him in the first place) and they'd like some of those wages off their salary cap. Which I would think would largely rule out the Bulls.

I would expect the other KR player that's coming on loan to be a different fringe player. Maybe someone like Harry Bardle, Adam Rooks or a longer shot of Owen Harrison.
