Could also be on his way to Swinton Lions. Reports are that the club have offered Goulding a contract and they're just pending on his signature.

In 2005 the CC will move to sumer with a september final is this correct?

I have still heard nothing about the TV deal and whats going on there.

From 2005 the CC has definitely been moved as part of the television deal, but no date has been announced yet. Last I heard, they were arguing about how close to the GF it could be without affecting the GF's importance.
