You may be right but, I think that we will have identified all of the players that we want to sign and maybe waiting until the time is right to announce them, with the usual one or two spots left for players who have slipped under the radar.

I think in October we (the fans have to be patient), we've never started a season without a squad (although Kears last season was pretty close).
That must have been the lowest squad spend ever, in SL, by any club.

I'm looking forward to see how Chester & Kear set things up and we're still in the : best position that we've had for 5 years

Chris has also been away too.

Waiting until they are all together would be quite logical.

Deals may be signed up quicker this way as one may need to wait for the other and so on

Business should be done like I said we should not be competing with Leigh Fafita should be sown up now. This will be affecting season ticket sales

Early phased announcements of new signings or even renewed contracts of existing squad players may keep interest high and may help promote season ticket sales prior to people having other financial commitments with Christmas looming... Anyway looks like Saints are close to signing Walker so hopefully not in the market for Fifita ..... www.loverugbyleague.com/news_238 ... aints.html

The greatest garbage myth on these forums. No it won't, you would need to sign someone of the magnitude of Thurston for that to have an effect - typical of you wanting to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Has it ever crossed your mind that as the lowest budgeted club in SL we have to take what others don't want in which case it's obvious to any bargain hunter that you wait til the last moment for the best deal - again reality check.

Me personally I like it that way as the best won't join us so lets at least sign the hungriest.

Finally in signing Williams and Caton Brown I think CC has made one of his two of his three key signings - I'm guessing the other was Fafita which started last year but seems to have hit a hitch, it happens.

So far Williams, Caton Brown, Hirst and Grix, not a bad haul IMHO even if others are already in moan for the sake of it mode.

Wow, I guessing with such astute business acumen you are a millionaire business tycoon, obviously you must have a few spare £100k lying about you can invest in the club
