I thought this was supposed to be the rumours section?
Not a section of the forum devoted to the colour pink and what people may or may not think about it in various contexts. Whatever makes people happy I suppose....

Seems to be the worst kept secret and Panthers STILL haven't got the decency to keep their fans updated and tell them what's going on Yes they should just come out and say Welychka has jumped the sinking ship. Although they’re probably waiting to try bury it under some supposed good news...like a new sponsor has signed up or something. 🙄 It’s about time Black showed his face !

So because you don't like a (other colours you have an irrational aversion to are presumably available) pink shirt, no-one should like it? My sartorial elegance has nothing to do with it. Plenty of teams have played in pink shirts and if there's a recorded instance of a player leaving any sports team because of that, I've yet to see it. Maybe you could enlighten me. The Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash in blokey, macho Australia have been wearing pink for years and loving it. Pink is the adopted colour of the Mcgrath foundation, which is the breast cancer nurse funding charity set up by Aussie legend Glenn Mcgrath, whose wife tragically succumbed to breast cancer aged 42. Whole test matches are "pink" as a result. Not sure what you've got against pink. Bob you’re missing the sarcasm,I’ve nothing against pink I’m just jesting. However,they do need to get back to and stick to black,gold and white and create an identity. Bar this valentines jersey, haven’t all our special jerseys been for warmups in order to create the identity

Given the current situation it’s only going to snowball the longer it goes on which then makes it harder to bury so you’d hope that there is a genuine reason as to why we’re not announcing it otherwise the club is just needlessly damaging itself

Well I don’t about you Bob, *although I do have my suspicions* , but I don’t have any pink shirts in my wardrobe. "Suspicions" 🙄 Haven't we got past this kind of innuendo in 2023??? 🙄 He’s only joshing, you know. 😳 That makes it OK.

I don't suppose anyone has taken into consideration that all the paperwork has to be signed and sealed and sent back before they release anything. Could be they're still waiting for this from the new club

Could be they're still waiting for this from the new club I wondered if they were trying to sign the replacement so they could sugar coat the announcement? We presumably are getting a replacement?

Only got one more change left so potentially but there was a rumour before Welychka decided to leave that we are bringing in another import so maybe not

That'd amount to the same as he's not coming back. This is another area where these roster rules don't really make sense, if a player opts to leave, that's not really your fault, so should you be prevented from replacing them? You can't really stop someone going if they don't want to be here. Strange rule. I wouldn't thought a maximum size at any one time would be better. Anyway, let's see what happens.

Good idea, so if you release someone and sign a replacement, they do count as a roster addition, but if a player decides to depart and you sign a replacement, they don’t count.

Or just say you're allowed 17 active imports at any one time (14 for a game night roster, plus a spare of the 3 positions). Brits you can have as many as you like.
IR would allow you to discount that player from your 17, no minimum periods out, but to then bring them off IR again you'd have to have space, so someone else would have to go. You could in theory leave a player on IR when healthy but it would be odd for the player to be happy with that one.
So players leaving can be replaced, and you could turn over the entire team gradually if they were really rubbish *cough cough*, but no one would have 5 healthy scratches every night.
League keeps the current lists up to date (lols) so we all know when Steelers are cheating.

Yes we could bring in someone for Duggie but unless it has changed we could only have them for 21 days, any longer and we’d have to use a change. I agree it’s unfair on us as Welychka has chosen to leave but if a rule was put in place that’d allow us to replace him without making a change then teams would abuse that and make all departures appear as though it’s the players decision

Edit - looking at the PDF from last year, I think you're right, it was 21 days and then make a decision. Makes it even worse. Good job no one keeps track. I agree that a specific rule for departures over sackings could be exploited, so I'd do away with the restriction. You could allow teams to make all the changes they want to, without allowing them to keep enormous rosters of players on the books.

Realistically I doubt many teams have ever even signed more than 20 imports in a season and even if they had you can bet there’s some right old rammel in there. It’s rather a silly rule,presumably brought in to appease the small fish.

Thought I recognised the name but can’t remember what he was like, must have come towards the end of the season as he had two previous clubs before us?

He was very much a last minute, lets get another body in. Played as a 3rd/4th line forechecker, chipped in with a few points. Not Trevor Gallant, more Mike Vaskivuo.
