I agree in a way however he'll have had a budget to work with and not a very big one at that hence signings like smith and Tony who couldn't get a gig anywhere else. If we are to be even remotely competitive then we need to spend some cash |

As far as I'm aware he has money to spend, but who's going to sign and who's even available. |

But thats the problem, I don't think they are true.
We are running with a young squad and Kear has not got a great track record with handling young players development. He's had his "one-off" backs to the wall cup final appearance away at Catalans, his track record last season with a stronger squad was woeful as well. My view is we have nothing to lose by bringing someone new in because there will be no pressure on them to get results and if they can get us to play more attractive rugby, then it might be more bearable to watch and we might actually suprise a few teams.
5 drives and a kick with the smallest pack in the league is not the right tactics.
He may have limited money, but he will have known what that budget was and would have been better trusting some of the clubs own youngsters to fill gaps in the squad and spent more money on players that can play in the positions we are lacking in. |

No one will sign other than youngsters (who want first team experience!), or players who have fallen foul with their respective clubs who want a short term gig. |
