Who's gonna be announced?

I'd like to think that we'll see the effects of most of our players having a long and proper pre-season in 2015. For the last four/five years, we've had a side that has played in every or almost every fixture possible, without a break, and then gone on to make up a big chunk of the England side

We're likely to only have 5/6 representatives at the 4N (Hardaker, Hall, Watkins, Ablett, maybe JJB, maybe Burrow). At the WC, we had those six, plus Briscoe and Aiton.

Most of the squad will have a full three and a half months before the first game of 2015 - something that they haven't had for a long time. As the players get older, that becomes even more valuable - I think JP is testament to that.

BMD definitely has to trust in youth more but, at the same time, there are a number of players that probably need to do more to repay that trust. Singleton rarely impresses me, Ward often looks like a square peg in a round hole, Keinhorst doesn't look up to the job and Sutcliffe looks like he is going to need a lot of time to become a quality six. Walters looks impressive and I would like to get another look at Foster now that he's had a year of first team under his belt (although admittedly, I've not seen much of him at the Broncos).

No, just ones where you're making statements like the one I quoted. You don't have to do anything. You just (in my opinion) look a bit daft when you try to rebut a factual argument with an opinion that can't possibly be proved and has absolutely no evidence to support it.

No idea.

It's just you stated ''at least 1 signing to be announced soon''.

Sorry, what?

How is this a factual argument...




It's someone else's opinion, just like my response to it.

No I didn't. I said I fully expect there to be and that hopefully it'll be a 7 or 9.

What makes you expect this?

Don't you?

Not really no.

Why would they? Afterall they'd have won the title if they hadn't been so focused on the those 2 CC games in the second half of the season.

Right?

I don't either. If we sign anyone now I expect it to be squad players only.

No, but they'd have finished top though. < IMO >

It's down to 2 games now is it? it was 3 before, make your mind up

Oh right.

So you really meant to say the last 1/4 of the season then. Afterall, the semi was in the 2nd week of August.

Performances were poor for the whole second half of the season in the league.
