| Crikey.
Anyway glad Knight isn't coming to us, wouldn't have been too worried about a few months to bolster the pack but he isn't the quality of player I think we need.
I've been banging on about this but what we lack is quality, it's abundantly clear. I'd much rather we signed 2 outstanding players who could be part of a champion side, than four squad players. We literally don't need them, we have reserves and youth players coming through and they need a chance. McCormack, Edgell, Lumb, TNW etc haven't let anyone down have they?

| Surprised we let Ruan out on loan especially with the injuries we have.
I get the fact he needs game time but why wasn`t that with us?

| If we got a top quality prop and back rower that can bend the line and then try prise Eseh from Wigan I'd consider that a good job/ shoukd move us up the table.
I just hope we don't waste cash and quota on backs or hookers

| We need a big prop to come in for Fussy and a big 2nd row to come in for Martin. We really then need another solid first 17 prop. After that, it will be depend if we release anyone i.e. Frawley, Momo and Miller.

| I think we have a group of young players who should be closer to being SL players by the kick off next season, plus a couple like Gannon and Simpson to come back from injury, and you might include Holroyd and Hudson in that mix too - both would probably benefit from a full pre-season uninjured.
If we add 2 more real high calibre forwards, get better organised, and have better luck then I can see class of 25 being a step up on class of 24. It's all about driving for standards and quality now in my view. If we have more players who can inspire and set the tone, I think it will aid the development of the young guys and we'll be going firmly in the right direction.

| It's hard to judge a number of players as they are constantly playing behind a weak front row, that has to be addressed first. I'm hoping Arthur can make a difference to Sangare but wont hold my breath. Holroyd never plays, Hudson I've never seen, Donaldson and Goudemand aren't props.

If we only add two quality forwards (you seem to be advocating one prop and one second row) we are once again saying Holroyd is certainty in our 1st choice prop rotation. I don't think - given both injury and performance - we can let this happen again. Tom needs to be fighting it out for 4th man with Lisone and Sangare.

I'd love a third and fourth addition Clueso but where are they coming from with cap and quota restrictions?
What I don't think works is stacking the side out with the players we have been for almost a decade.
I also think we have issues at 7 (a few good performances doesn't make Frawley a title winning half back IMO), and at centre.
If we add a real high quality prop in the Mik+ bracket I think the trickle-down effect of that is significant, and I think some more power in the back row would help the props. It does depend who is available too of course in this market.

Oh I do Jim, for coming through and surviving years of personal hell, for an amazing young family, a brilliant job and supportive people in my life. My feelings about the rhino's though are nothing to do with positivity but assessing and commenting on what's there and has been in pain sight for years, not just some blind faith.
When i see something that merits positive optimism i comment accordingly, when i see something that merits the opposite i also comment accordingly, its just how i am. I get that continual negativity is a bit tiresome but its all theres been evidence for for so long. Blind optimism in the face of the opposite is just as tiresome too though, 'insisting the sky is blue when its clearly not'.
