Why? Contrary to some postings, we have a lot of young players in the squad. I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that they will be better players at the start of next season than they were at the start of this.

Besides which, I think the right coach would probably have been worth 6 league points this year on his own. I can't prove that, obviously.

I agree r.e. coach. But we have this coach.

Just changing the coach (subject to who it is) we will finish higher than we do this season. Change any player you like, with this coach we will finish lower next season.

Quite likely. I did qualify my post (I certainly intended to) with the change of coach as a key feature.

fed up now a top man signing when we wanted Savile Row FFS

if was any where near good enough to play for a team playing to win trophies then there would have been a lot fight for his signature and believe you me everyone was beating a path to his door

in reality IMHO he offers nothing better than what was at the club already and does nothing to delight the fans and bring in the merchandise. who wants a Richie Moore action figurine? who will want to have his number on the shirt?

Mind you i take my hat off to his agent with the contract that he did get. what i want to know was Peter Ridsdale doing the negotiation for the Rhinos

Not the best signing but am starting to feel sorry for him now so, "Go Richard......"

Comparing him to Burgess, BTW, is pointless. Burgess didn't want to be here and wouldn't have been here next season regardless.....

It wasn't that long ago that most on here preferred Ambler
and had written off Amor.
Either way both are better than Kirke ( and Kylie ) ( and Moore ) for kicking on in 2012.

Of the three Moore could be better than the has-been and the never- has-been.... But having all THREE next year ( especially with our present esteemed incumbent coach ) is the kiss of slow lingering death of a club, that has had its halcyon days well and truly numbered.

Remind me again of the roots of that recent success .. Youth or aged has beens ? ?

Decent player with plenty of aggression and go forward , someone had concerns over his temperament , personally I would welcome someone with a bit of genuine mongrel about them .

Not a stellar signing by any means , but if it means Kirke never plays prop again its fine by me.

P.s. I remember Wigan fans being just as underwhelmed when they signed Coley , but that didnt turn out too badly .

I don't understand this signing, can anyone explain it to me? Why have we signed an ordinary 30+ year old Prop on a 3 year contract, when we already have a number of 30+ year old props?

If he was a world beater, or had significant room for improvement in him, then maybe I could understand it, but this makes no sense whatsoever.

I think he may have been drafted in as a replacement for Amor who I think might be coming to Wakey full time, we'll have to see.
