| Interesting just listening to lenagan on wigan tv:
Millwall was chosen instead of qpr and fulham because QPR was 3x more expensive and fulham was 5x more expensive
I'm all for investing in youth and he quoted williams and rocky as examples but whats the point of mentioning rocky when he isnt being played?
Recruitment said wigan spend right upto the cap..might just be me reading into to but we may be in for afew more "project signings"

| I've made my mind up we've got a team built on the cheap scenario. It's going to bite us in the sooner rather than later and two seasons without a pot will underpin that because I sure can't see us winning owt this year I'm afraid.

We've "missed out" on every player signed by another club, doubly so if they were signed by a rival. If we were actually trying to sign them or not is immaterial to the debate.
Every signing we've "missed out" on (see above) "will come back to haunt us".'"
Sorry, but I was being sarcastic........ I don't understand why we just don't buy every player whose available... I wish I was a Leeds fan

So what do you advocate?
Say nothing until the night before the first game of next season so we definitely know who we have/haven't signed? Would we then be allowed to comment on our transfer policy.
Also how is it now ok to be in the mix for players but never land one? It's like Saint Pats saying they were trying to sign Paul Gallen but offered him a pack of space raiders and a few pints after the match. Sadly they didn't get him but at least they put thier name in the hat eh.

Until I'm doing the buying, I'll wait to see what happens.... We are already signing the best player to come to the SL from the NRL..... I'll reserve judgement until I see the full roster for next season... Till then it's all opinion and supposition..... I'm sure many on here would be much happier supporting a team like Wakefield, apologises to Wakefield fans, then they could be really miserable...

| Quote MOPSEY LIVES ON="MOPSEY LIVES ON"Iv seen enough of ryan over the years to know how good he is at half and what qualities he's got and he ain't no full back he needs his hands on the ball. Just play him or please let him go. Biggest regret of my life taking him to wigan. It's a short career let him go and have one.'"
i would love to have rocky at the rhinos and there's definitely going to be more opportunities to make a spot there his own than he is going to get at wigan
i'm pretty sure that we were after your lad whilst he was playing for normanton,if so why did he/you choose wigan?

I've decided to embrace the internet and panic like mad because it's 7 months until the start of next season.

| I don't think anyone is panicking at all. I think there is justification for concern given our dealings last year after identifying our weaknesses and failing to sign anyone to improve those weaknesses.

| I think that's fair. IL talks about wanting to be the best side in the world. Well, watch the Roosters, the Bunnies on song, even the boring Broncos; they all have forward packs to put ours to shame, even though I believe we have good strike players out wide, we will not get close to these teams without better metre-munchers.

| The Broncos have been one of the most entertaining sides this year. Some of the rugby has been superb.
On Wigan, isn't the whole way the team plays going to change with Sam Tomkins back on board? I still think he'd be better at 6/7 and letting someone else return kicks etc, but in attack he's going to be the main focal point. I wouldn't underestimate nhow different you are as a team with him back.
As for Leeds, we had to sign a half-decent prop (Galloway) as we're losing the two who've been there for almost a decade - at the same time. I'd be surprised if we were in for Hampshire, as I hope that Sutcliffe gets given the chance to make the 6 his own.

This forum has been sadly lacking a decent thread for ages. We have one here were people were contributing nicely, expressing opinions and voicing concerns eloquently and pleasantly then you had to get involved in the way that you have, throwing disparaging comments around. This from a moderator too. No doubt I will now be the subject of some rapier like put down, and we all know how much you crave the last word, so go for it.
