Quote: The Railwayman "The recruitment over the last couple of years has been a bit hit and miss. For me the crucial recruitment period is the next one readying the team hopefully for a climb back up to the top. I think the TS mantra of evolution rather than revolution needs to be put to one side for the moment because the team needs a shake up. I don't know if the players we wanted either went somewhere else, were too expensive or were just not available. Only TS and the board know that. Next season will show if the current set up up can take us forward or not. I really hope they can.'"
Has anyone thought they have tried to sign the top players and they wouldn't come. Some sides have been lucky and signed average Aussie players that have been good this year (Ben Roberts, Albert Kelly) these players weren't wanted down under so came over here. I believe the club don't want to sign mediocre players they want top quality and they won't come. If this carries on we will sign average Aussies and everyone will still moan.
Do we all really think that the club have not tried to sign a top quality half during the last 18 months ?? course we have and they wont come regardless of the money. I know that Tomkins turned down a 50% increase on what Wigan have offered him, and the likes of Cronk, Thurston, Mitchell, don't want to play in a poor league just for money?
