People in the game obviously rate him hence his call up for the knights.'"
He gets criticism because people want more.
Whilst i accept that he is still learning his position he is a very hard worker if you compare him to other back rowers he has a way to go to get to there standard.
He works hard and puts in a lot of tackles but he really needs to be a bit more dominant in the tackle making one on one tackles and really dominating his opponent. ala Westwood / Grix
He also tends to run very direct rather than seeking out the gaps or targetting the smaller man which bearing he was a centre with some good pace is dissappointing. ala Hock or Farrell.
He IMHO needs to be more aggressive and assertive. If you compare him to Cudjoe this year you can see Cudjoe has become more arrogant, confident and aggressive ( he has definitely put a bit of niggle in to his game).He is much better for it.
Bruno needs to follow that lead from Cudjoe.
It may well be that with a year under his belt, more training, time in the Knights squad that will come. Also playing behind 4 big props will help his game.
I am happy with him but think he has got a lot more to give and to really kick on

| Ins updated with AK, reading some of the comments about why these chaps are signing, when other options are available (I know alot of the time we see this quoted) it strikes me we are becoming a very attractive club to go to, one on the rise.
Whilst we get poo, pooed mainly Rhinos, Wigan and Wire fans that the LLS means nothing, I think it does. These clubs are looking over their shoulder at us, really see us up there again in 2014, along with Saints will be a battle for honours by the 5.

I really rate Bruno, I think he's a seriously good player.
I think you're absolutely right that he has a lot more to give. The thing people forget about him is that he's only 23 years old. He made his debut so young that it's easy to forget that he's probably five years away from the peak of his game.

| think lawrence is one of the first players on the team sheet now, anderson rates him highly and he has improved in attack at the season has gone on, expect more next season and the usual tackling and hard work he puts in.
on us being an attractive club to come too now, i agree, it has been said by a few of the players too we have become an attractive team to join and they are picking us over others

No, we weren't told who they were!'"

| Quote: Chetnik "I know you were told there will be no more signings... But are you sure things can't' change? Not many top quality props around, so if two become available in short notice surely we would show some kind of interest?? Dependent on salary cap of course...'"
things do change

My reply was to the quote that talks were ongoing. In actual fact, talks had been completed and all who will be joining have joined, though not necessarily announced.

Ivor I wouldn't rise to it, you can only relay information that is given to you as best endeavours, things are changing all the time, and opportunities arise, I don't expect when they do, the first thing RT or anyone else at the club, will be to make a point of ringing you.

| Exactly. If someone comes in with a very good offer on one of our players then I'm sure the club would consider it- just like if an agent approached the club with a player at a good price we would consider that.

| Impressed by the speed they are announcing the signings! Nothing worse than waiting on rumours! Lads that are leaving are gone and the ones that are coming announced (just about)! Although probably more to do with the strife at London that has enabled us to do this!
Question
Do we think we will have left some money aside to sign a stand out at the World Cup?
