Shrugs shoulders in a massive feeling of underwhelmment.

I've not been as disappointed since Alex Murphy promised us a "top class coach", and we ended up with DVDV

Charnley is still a good winger, I hope Darryl Powell comes in and gives the whole place the lift that Tony Smith did. We have a good squad which is underachieving. I want to see more professional attitudes and the lads enjoying their rugby again. We look like a team going through the motions.

Widdop is contracted for next season so why the certainty he will leave. There were no takers in the NRL for this season so what will have changed. Austin is out of contract.

It would be very difficult to have to recruit two halfbacks and I can imagine nigh on all our transfer budget going on one.

True on both counts.
Too many on here (and more than likely, Facebook) are of the mindset, " well, our Michael's newsagents uncle, who drinks in the King's Head, has heard he's off to the NRL. Plane tickets booked for him and his family, and everything". It's just people making up tosh. Widdop doesn't strike me as dishonourable type. He'll see his contract through. He's in his 30's, with a not great injury record. I imagine Aussie clubs have moved on, and have younger options.

As for recruiting TWO new halves, can the club PLEASE stop with the[i throwing huge money at stars[/i for a while. It's not working. Talk of Truman coming here, when we've a squad full of names already here, and another who's STILL not yet match fit, despite signing a contract 11 months ago, really is galling. If Widdop and Austin are continuing to misfire, play one of the youth. No one should be undropable

Dead right. I cannot see Riley Dean playing with York for long. We will need him back.

I don't know about Darryl Powell, but Robert Powell or even Jenny Powell will be an improvement on our current coaching set up.

Clueless.
