Ok lets hope we have a better season than last year & get better signings that we require.
Fwiw id love Agar & co to prove me wrong & do think we have better players than last year but we still need a fair few more & less journeymen.

I see improvement in the squad, but that’s struggling to translate into the pitch. It’s still early with the new players in the squad and I’m confident they will gel and improve.

I’m massively reserving judgement on the coaching set up. Someone posted that they think we are saving money whilst paying off Furner, which I’m tempted to believe. Coaches are not salary capped so there’s no excuse for not getting the best you possibly can. I don’t think we’re doing that, something doesn’t add up there IMO.

Fwiw I don’t think Sinfield sees Agar as long term coach hence the 1 year deal, they only thing that would change that would be if he had a very successful year, and I would love for that to happen.

Much as I doubt he will, but so do I.

I get that Sinfield doesn’t think Agar is the long term answer, but I do think we could have moved more quickly to secure a coach who would be long term. Griffin has been mentioned and would have been a massive upgrade on Agar.

The cancellation of today’s game doesn’t really help us in some regards, it leaves us with a game in hand but short of two potential points meaning we pretty much must win the HKR game or we start slipping behind again for the third season in a row.

It’s not just a one year deal, it’s a rolling one year deal, keeps been a year tomorrow, and the day after, and the.....

But your right he isn’t the long term, just the stand in. Doesn’t make it right though.

The squad is better now than it was at this time last year. A quick consideration of the ins and outs should show you that.

We are still not good enough. Also true.

Mistakes? Well, I think it‘s still to early to say on a few signings. Some others yes I would put in that category - although to be fair most have been moved on if they’re not up to it.

The likes of Dwyer, Briscoe x 2, Myler, Donaldson is very average, Sutcliffe, Crosby - will he ever play? Cuthbertson, Evans, that's a big change round at the end of the season plus the younger players that wont make it

Sutcliffe ,Donaldson and Crosby are contracted until 2021.

Goodness me.

Sutcliffe fair enough but that deal for Crosby n Donaldson is ludicrous

Bit difficult to say unless you know what they are being paid. What if Crosby was on £60k per season for 3 years but it would have been 90k for two? Gives him the same money but us more cap room...

All depends on the the deal but I was surprised when Donaldson got two years but knowing GH he'll have got him cheap.

Donaldson needed 2 years cos thats how long it will take him to break a tackle. People tell me hes good though.

Is breaking a tackle the only criterion for giving a player a contract?

Donaldson is filling a role much like Kirke in the glory days. The main difference is the quality of the guys Donaldson is coming on to give a breather to...

I'm more concerned by L. Sutcliffe's lack of attacking threat, tbh, especially since he seems to be much higher up in the pecking order than Donaldson.

We have no strength , no speed and no skill which really leaves us in a bit of a hole
