Fricke Castagna Harris B Cook Kvech  Rushen Scott   so that’s the team then I’ve heard 👍🏻 from a decent source aswell 

Another view is he could have continued and lost enough money to not be able to continue in 27.  maybe the bombshell has just been dropped 12 months early. The end result is still the same.  

Let's all get one thing clear. At best it will be 5 teams unless someone is prepared to underwrite another loss making venture.

The statement clearly said that ‘the Premiership will feature a minimum line up of five teams’. Therefore, one of the following must have been true at the time of the announcement: 1. The sale of the Witches was all but done bar the paperwork. or 2. A new team had agreed to run in 2026. Clearly, in light of the Louis update, 1. had not happened. If 2. had happened then would they not have been better off confirming that fact, even if it was subject to formal agreement at the AGM which surely would be a ‘give un’. I am not convinced that either of the above had/have happened. My view is that their preferred outcome is that the sale of the Witches is completed and that they compete in the 2026 Premiership. If this doesn’t happen, then I suspect that there is a cobbled together Plan B that they will fall back on. 

Be happy if we sign Scott or Harrison to partner him 

Delighted with the signings so far.  Hopefully Cooper will have a long and successful career with the Stars.  He’s fast enough already, it’s just the consistency at the starts he lacks. But can’t wait to watch him develop over the course of the season.
