I believe Addy had agreed to sign for us but like Tuson he was given the chance to go and sign where ever when our financial difficulties were revealed.

We had agreed terms with both Danny Addy and Jamal Fakir only for the Elston circus to roll into Town and we had to give back word to both players who then resigned for their clubs on reduced terms due to it being so late.

What about these wingers who should be cheap and strong runners. viewtopic.php?f=33&t=562434&tsmp=1391967775 www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... n/?ref=rss www.dewsburyrams.co.uk/team_member.php?id=2280

And Will Sharpe.

Foster is lucky he can kick goals. Ainscough is a better winger and RL player in every other facet of the game.

The Quota is five places

If Harry gets his polish passport he won't count

Such a ridiculous short term decision to increase the non-fed limit and revert back to the loopholes that existed prior to when the quota and non-fed limit was set a five.

The 'quota' is effectively defunct due to all the possible exemptions allowed, Siejkas polish passport been a good example. I believe neither Tautai or Godinet count as 'quota' due to their pacific island heritage. Its all about non-federation trained these days, which the level has incresed to seven overall. As we stand we have Collis, Tautai, Godinet, Ryan, Anderson and probably Siejka on that list. So oom for one more if we had the funds. Now rumours are that Sammut is available.........

Just because we have a place available does not mean we have to fill it. Unfortunately this is the awful effect of having relegation again. Too much short term thinking. We were just starting to see good youngsters come through, but I fear they won't as a coach will go for an experienced overseas player rather than take a risk

If Siejka comes, we don't need Sammut

I suppose that depends on how quickly a relatively untried, untested 21 year old settles in a country 12000 miles away from home. Sammut for all his faults is a known entity. Seijka is a punt. Not that I think Trinity could afford Sammut.

I just mean we should decide which we are going for and only get one of them. We don't need both.
If we had the cash for both we have other areas that need bolstering.

absolutely 100% correct.

Five years of licencing blown, in one month of a recruitment circus, where everybody is signing dross.

The season is already underway and teams still haven't got "full squads", whatever they are...

The Aussies London have signed are no better than any of the English Championship players - they weren't even getting reserve grade games every week in the NRL.

It's just saddening.

Agreed, Sammut over Siejka if he was ever a viable option.
