Quote: altofts wildcat "The thing that I don't get is that at the end of last season neither player was deemed good enough to be offered enough money for them to accept and now 6 months later they are. Its a bit like with Luke Gale, he was available before the start of the season yet we chose not to sign him then now all of a sudden he is being built up to be the savior. Now all 3 signings may work out but it seems like very poor planning.'"
Regarding Croft , I think it wasn't obvious then how poor Lyne, Taufua and Langi would turn out plus we then lose Hall. I thought he was at a suitable level to replace Lyne this season and was sad to see him go.
Could say similar about Gale.
Shaw would be the only one where we are planning for The Championship. That's not even considering the rumours regarding him being tapped up for elsewhere.
