The lack of available talent was used as a reason for the lack of quality this season.

This squad is designed to attain SL and then prevent another mass redesign. This is not my opinion, it is the clear statement of both Chris Chester and Adrian Lam
Some may be here “in the shop window” but should we attain SL, we are in the driving seat to retain players who want to play SL. It is after all our shop.
Quota spots will dictate some movement but again we have significant control of who fills those spots SL. And significant experience with/of the players we chose to retain.
Either Chris Chester and Adrian Lam are blowing smoke and have no idea what they are doing, or …….
I accept that as a way forward.

I have no doubt that squad is capable of SL. The question I asked you was is that the way forward? Which obviously you can’t answer. The appointment of both Lam and Chester should see nothing less than SL. Sustainability when we get there again isn’t Lam’s issue.
No infrastructure.

If you accept that as a way forward, you need to give your head a wobble.Leigh are again buying a squad to do a job. A season later we do the same again.

what a clown

Or his village is searching for him

Tonight we had SL quality all over the park, that will be the backbone of our squad should we make it - and some real quality has only just started training with us.

Why do you insist on trying to inflame and insult people who support our team on here in a positive way. After your response I don’t feel the need to respond to you, but what the heck.
I will however not be drawn into keyboard argument with you further.
- I believe that striving to achieve SL is a positive way forward for our club (said with wobbling at all).
- I believe that the only way to do that is to assemble a team that is capable of doing that (obviously, well it is to me at least) and can then be kept somewhat intact for the first season of SL because it has the quality within it to make that a viable proposition.
- I believe we are on the right track to do both those points above.
- Adrian Lam has gone on record that the squad is being built to be sustainable in SL. He is the head coach, of course it is his issue. He will be judge on its success on the field for heavens sake.

And to answer the question again, though you said I had not.
YES, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD.
