Did I see four years for Partington. Good tackler but doesn't seem to make big yards and we desperately need someone who can go forward.

Quote: 100% Warrior "The Hull KR game takes on a little more of a challenge with Sheens being sacked, when a coach is sacked the team tends to respond well in the next game. That said I still would expect a victory at the weekend, we may be playing poor but we’re still a better side then KR.

Following on from that it’s Leeds at home, Huddersfield away and Salford at home. I would expect to beat Leeds but Huddersfield and Salford will be a challenge. They’re both improving are well capable of toppling us. 4 from 4 and I’d be very happy . First game in July is KR at home (win) and then Saints away. That game is key for me to show how much we’ve either improved, stayed the same, or gotten worse. if we win the next 6 I’m all in for Lam. 5 of those games are very winnable and a perfesormance v Saints, especially away, would go a long way into turning people from being anti Lam to Pro Lam.'"
]
I genuinely believe that out of the next 6 games that we may lose up to 5 matches with 3 I think 3 of those teams currently below us in table. If that happens and London win a game or 2 then we will be really in the shoite.
I've been worried for a while but the Barcelona performance I think showed the true potential of this current squad who seem quite oblivious that we are in a relegation scrap rather than in the hunt for a top 5 slot.
A defeat at HKR will knock the moral out of squad with no player or players for me currently capable to step up to the plate with SOL a pale shadow of a few years ago and not one other player to take up his mantle.
I was quietly hoping for some new troops today with the recent disposals but I think that hope is probably assigned to false hope.
I really do believe that the HKR game will decide if relegation is a reality this season or delayed for another season unless some 4 or 5 new players arrive with proven quality. I'm not sure if this current squad is capable of raising the quality of their game and I'm even less sure of Lam's capabilities in raising the quality of the teams performance

Must admit that was the biggest surprise from today for me. I’m not sure if his contract was up or not but I saw a years extension at best really. He’s clearly committed and will hit anything that moves but he doesn’t look capable of making the ground you need from a prop. In fairness to him maybe if we had 3 or 4 other props making good ground then we could use him to rattle some cages in short bursts.

Flop of an announcement as expected.

Happy(ish) with Burgess resigning.

Clark seems okay but hardly invigorating.

And the rest doesn't interest me in the slightest.

At least Radlinski has dangled the carrot informing us of more signings 'very soon'. The fact he had to follow up this 'huge announcement' with a reassuring statement says it all.

Whilst I was expecting more, to be fair to the club they didn’t promise a ‘huge announcement’.

You're absolutely right. But, the way they built the announcements up led the fans to feel that they've been led down the garden path. While ultimately it's the fans fault, they've ed a lot of fans off with the underwhelming (to put it mildly) nature of these generally positive signings and re-signings.

For me, it shows how out of touch (at best) they are/how much they don't care about the fans. I expect season ticket sales for next season and walk up sales for this season to plummet following this laughable exercise.

I’m not sure this has been a bad thing at all? Fans have been screaming out for some positivity and screaming even louder for an announcement. On Monday, the club released a single tweet saying ‘Thursday’ and nothing more.
Speculation built up and expectation of confirmed signings became understandably widespread. The drip fed the announcements of 8 players throughout the morning and topped it by saying there’s more to come.
I’m ok with that. We’ve made a good start and let’s see how things progress before reaching for the 2020 panic button!

The problem for me is that we haven't signed a decent proven player for years and further signings of at best squad players doesn't float my boat so how is this going to attract new fans and more importantly new young fans?.
I'm tired of ineffective 15/20 props, minimal ball skills, zero kicking game, players who can play in multiple positions but can't play in any particularly well and atmosphere and the ground that is non existent due to pap on the field.
I don't expect all of the above to be addressed in one go but hells bells these deficiencies have been there for years.

He replaced Bateman so for me doesn't count.
Who was the last player we bought and you thought wow what a great improvement on we have got?
I expected ZH to be quoted but again he is a replacement and is of significantly lower quality than the guy he replaced.

Players don't count if they are replacements? What nonsense is this?

Have any of our replacements actually improved on what we had?
We have for me seen our squad decline in quality from 2013. I can't think of signing since sept 13 that has actually improved our squad
