Getting tired of it now to be fair

ok back on topic and won't be a popular view but i think we have taken the easy option and re-signed too many of last years squad.

That’s the truth of the matter with Tangata, Heaton out and Kavanagh, Robinson in nothing significant has changed so far.
Still hoping for that extra bit of class to be added but not with any real expectancy as time ticks by.

I agree. All top teams invest/improve whilst on the up. The question is, do we want to be a top team or are we happy to be top four in the 2nd division for ever more?

Have you heard Bradford have put a bid in for the summer bash....

We need a decent scrum-half and a centre before early bird season ticket offer ends, otherwise sales will be shocking. Time for LS28 to pull an ace from up their sleeve?

Where is the money coming from?

To repeat myself Leon, we've had 3 out of 4 top four finishes..and the brass that goes with it. If we hadn't made the four in those season's would we have done a bulls and gone bust? If not and the club was ,as we believe and trust being run well, there should be a bit of money left to bring in a bit of quality to take the team into the next level. If not we plod along....

One of those seasons the players took a pay cut. Then at the end of the season the top four brass was used to reinstate the pay foregone.

And no doubt the money from the other two was used to keep the squad together. Too many clubs burn and bust.

Read Robert Crampton`s column in the Times Magazine this week. Ok, it`s football but summarises the life of a supporter of a club that that reaches the holy grail then falls again.( He supports Hull City in case you wondered)

I appreciate and agree with what you say but surely we're not unable to splash out, even a little bit. You've got to speculate to accumulate.

Go broke. No club

Do the best you can afford keep your club and plod along.

Tough decision

Would throwing a decent wedge at the likes of Ridyard put us ahead of Toronto and Toulouse? The club is building stronger foundations with the reserves and academy, long term that is the way forward not throwing silly money at mercenaries. Unfortunately we simply cannot compete with the spending power of Toronto and throwing cash at a few players this season would be a total waste of funds.

I can see what you're saying mate.

I know it’s a defeatist attitude but I just can’t see Toronto messing up this next season. However with the signings they have made not sure how they are going to keep them all happy? Would Brierley be a potential target for us?

Something we don’t seem to do anymore is pick up players from RU, not talking top level but the lower leagues there is talent out there that could be a worth a shot in the reserves.

Indeed, there may be another Chester Butler or a Carl Gillespie playing in West Yorkshire. Who would you suggest do the scouting on a Saturday Leon.
