After reading through the thread lower down, i was just wondering if there is any one else cas rumours fo next season? Reading on the other forum i've heard Dane Nielson (sp) mentioned a few times. But i'm just wondering if we were looking to strengthen on the two good signings we have for next year.

By the way, hi everybody from a new member of the RL fans board

Dane Nielsen rumour is untrue. He's just signed a new contract at Melbourne.

There are many rumours but nothing concrete at the moment.

I think next years recruitment policy has to be simple :-

Recruit players that are better than the ones we already have !

Sounds simple, but sometimes the club can't seem to grasp this. If they want to keep a sound fan base and if they have any desire to progress and move forward, then it's black and white.

Welcome to the board Ria....Riha....Rihil....Riiha...aww e i'm never gunna get your name right.

Welcome buddy!

Typo ammended.



I agree with what you originally said and i've used the very same argument with friends in the past over players. They have said a certain player should be let go and i've argued that even though i think the player isn't good enough, we should keep them unless we are bringing in better. We seem to always swap like for like and never improve our squad though, possibly for the reason i replaced your reason. All this must change or we will never be anything but a side struggling to stay ahead of the bottom sides. We keep hearing about wanting to make the play offs but we shouldn't be just scraping into them like last year and possibly this year. Eventually we want a squad that not only can make the play offs but actually deserve that spot and even have a shot at winning the trophy at the end.

i cannot see no top nrl players joining us and ive a feeling that a lot of people will be dissapointed with next years recruitment.

for me next year will all be about youth and if players like owen,walker,milner,thompson, arundel and holmes can cerment first team spots then i for one wouldnt be massively dissapointed.they are the future of our club and if they get a squad number in place of a journey man from the other side of the world it can only do our future well,next year will help them then if we get a franchise and a new stadium then it is time to spend big and with a secure future there is no excuse to not bring in quality players to enhance our junior system.

Whats new.

haha no worries marsh, but thanks



i was just wondering due to thi likes of Hull FC and Salford strengthenin their squads already for next year, just didnt know whether we had took further steps to gap holes left by players such as shenny or sarge, ahh well looks like we'll be recruiting cast aways again

Michael Worrincy is OOC if you're interested

straight swap for clayton?

Done.

you've robbed us of a quality player in Clayton
