lets be real AM is not a international class player he is average how many tries did he score last season 3-4 how many did he create for his winger?i think he his made out to be better than he actually is and i think we have a better deal out of this.we now have quite a good set of forwards (maybe a prop short)and it wouldnt matter who we have in the halfs if we didnt have a good set of forwards

Well said Forrest.

How come any report from Hudds never mentions a cash fee?? Didnt this happen with Brough as well?

Dissapointed he has gone, a, because he is good and b, because he has come through the system here and someone else will get the benefit.
The argument with regards to his number of tries and assists he provided are a bit flawed based on the fact we played a 'limited' style of play and we were struggling all season. We all said the same about Atkins 3 years ago! Amazing how players can look so much better with decent players around them.

Dependant on the amount of cash we got, i am reasonably happy with the deal. Raleigh i like and Kirmond, you know what you are getting. Not 100% sure we needed another 2 in the pack but i suppose if good players become available, you have to take them.

Struggling to keep up with all the comings and goings at Wakey but while the net result looks to be a significant strengthening do you think there's a real possibility your 17 most weeks wont include a single homegrown player?

I would like to think Wildie and Davey have done enough to get regular starts. However, with Ferguson, George and Murphy now all departed, there is a very real possibility of there being no Trinity youth in the first team. All the more reason to off load Lee and refrain from signing Obst (although he is a player I admire).

I'm sorry but that is a load of rubbish, the 2 things are totally unrelated and as far as I'm concerned you can have a problem with the standard of import that sometimes finds it's way into to SL and have a completely different view on a foreigner playing for the national team especially when he's no connections to the country and in Chase's case has only come about because of the scenario he finds himself in. I think you'll find that a lot of people moan when second rate imports get signed and people are moaning now with Chase.
