So to set things straight.

We've lost Gareth Hock.

Might lose Bailey.

Have lost Flanagan.

And we're signing nobody.

So instead of strengthening the front row we have in fact gone weaker.

Excellent

Is Scott Logan still off contract at the end of the season? Would be good to see him back.

Has come here twice and gone back straight away.

No chance.

We're due some good news I feel in terms of recruitment.

At the moment it seems quite obvious we have no-one lined up any time soon.

We need something to change, otherwise myself and I am sure many other fans will be left disappointed.

Well get ready to be disappointed, because Lenegans already signaled that it's very unlikely we'll sign anyone for 2010, however he say's if we were to sign someone they would have to be of the highest quality, yet on the other hand he claims we have little money left under the salary cap. Mixed messages are all I'm getting and ones that signal to me no one is coming in for 2010.

Just read an article that stated Ben Cohen is moving back to England to play for Sale Sharks, also two years ago he was eyeing up a move to Wigan, I really to believe he would have been immense was this ever a likely transfer or was it just paper talk?

Never rated him as a Union player so he certainly wouldn't be worth the money we would have to pay. Massively over-rated even by the standards of English RU players.

Welsh Lion Andy Powell (who was "linked" with us by his agent and bank manager last year) said this week he would still love to try League at the end of his present contract (he will be 31 by then)

Powell would make a top prop in league.

Smith, Hock, Bailey, Flanagan out.

Nobody in.

Well done Mr Chairman.

Come on AJ, we dont know what the out come for recuitment will be. If we get no-one on board then we have every right to get the pitch forks out. there is still time yet

But that’s not strictly true now is it?

Yes I agree the recruitment for next season isn’t what i’d either want or expected but IL has done other good things with some of the wages you mentioned above.

Just to refresh your memory he’s signed up the most talented young player in SL to a FIVE year deal as well as resigning the current in form FB as well. Even a staunch IL critic like yourself has to admit he’s done well here.

Yes I would love us to sign a top class player (prop) and I agree it’s frustrating watching the likes of Pauleta, Carvell & Tronc going to other teams while players like Lynch, Price & Petro stay at their current clubs but it’s not all doom and gloom.
