i agree but not only must the player want to come to us we need him to WANT to stay also..as for westgate, if you can't pull there then there are always the latex gloves (see the physios for location)

Why is it unnecessary to hold a shareholders meeting?

That’s the only reason I bought the shares!

Dont worry he is ill informed and due to the recent share issue there will be every need for an AGM etc which as a share holder you are entitled to attend.

Like a few people have said it isn't as easy as some people think to find a quality player who is not tied to a club,who doesn't want a ton of money and a long contract.All the top players are not available but the few that may be available which looking around means a NRL player which would take time to even get into negotiations and then they must want to come and then for the right price.All us lot would be the first to moan if Kear brought in a NRL player who turned out to be a joke and worse got stuck with said joke for 2 years.
Kear knows we need a couple of players but I think he will be canny about who ever he signs and he will be determined to get the right players to fit in this team for the right price which might take a little longer than we all want.

If they can't pull on Westgate, they aren't making enough of their 'average rugby league player' status - there's a certain type that throws themselves at them!

The way some of them tackled on Saturday they'd probably fall off a bird.

According to thishttp://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/169123/Leeds-winger-Lee-Smith-allowed-to-play-rl

our mate Charlie isn't coming as he can't get a visa...

Foam fingers at the ready... "another one bites the dust"

Or does it?

Awww, don't be like that! Smile!

From that articleLEEDS winger Lee Smith was last night given the green light to play in Saturday’s Challenge Cup fourth- round blockbuster at Hull.

England man Smith, who has just returned from a brief spell in rugby union, was found guilty of illegal use of his knees on Hull stand-off Jordan Turner in the Super League clash between the two sides last Sunday but escaped suspension and a fine. He was cleared on a second charge of using his knees on Shaun Berrigan in the same game'"

Gone into Black hole

Personally I think someone like Mike Cooper (who has just returned to Wire) would fit the bill. Obviously we would have to wait for Carvell's injury to heal.
Or possibly Luke Burgess, who isn't in the 1st choice 17 at the Rhino's, but is a young forward, with bags of potential and point to prove.

The more I think about it the more I come to the conclusion that I for one am all in favor of signing no more Aussies after this Tronc situation. Build up what we produce, we have the talent in this country, we just need to show faith & time!

Until a player such as the two I have mentioned comes along I think we need to give a chance to the lads we have, who are working their socks off in the juniors.
Yes we might find it hard now but we're building a sustainable and viable future & for god's sake theres no relegation!! That's what this system is about & rewards.

So just be patient, sit back and watch the superstars of tomorrow grow under the best British coaching duo in the code- FACT.
