£ 999,999 is also six figure sum. ( We can always dream ! )
I don't think we can stop a player going to super league if he has the opportunity. I just hope we don't see him in the colours of one of our rivals on loan/dual reg. The worrying thing regarding finances is that I seem to remember, at the time we let Mcnally go, Kear saying he"d see how things went before deciding to sign a replacement. A couple of weeks ago he said we wouldn't sign another player unless someone left first so the position seems to have changed since the start of the season.

As I understood it, he was one of the standout props in the academy games vs Australia in December. Several SL clubs showed interest then, enough that it was put to Olly &his agent for a decision and he decided to stay here, as he was more likely to get gametime & develop.

I accept that in our current position we have to consider reasonable offers for our players. I just wish there was some sort of mechanism to say that we have first dibs if the SL club are looking to loan said player out at some point in the future. I know the Bentley example has been used a fair bit, but he seems to have slipped off the radar a bit since joining St Helens. Would he have continued developing better at the Bulls where he was more familiar.. who knows. It’s just frustrating to see our young players leave for SL only to see them propping up another Championship club on dual reg.
I just hope that we are not selling players to stay afloat. Would like to see a first refusal clause written into any transfer deal should players become available for loan.

With Toronto in the league this season there’s absolutely no point spending the whole playing budget. Interesting to see who gets relegated too. Imagine if it was Leeds. Can’t see it it’ll be London or KR. Game on then!
