I always look for a player in the new signings that I think can put extra bums on seats.We have not signed one, so like most fans we hope for the best but know we will be out of the top 8 till we get more cash coming in to the ground .Let's hope the new Stadium starts that

You don’t think Hood is better than the Woods

You don’t think Lineham is a class winger?

You don’t think Gaskell is a versatile player?

Mate you clearly don’t look very hard.

Johnstone, Fifita, Tanginoa, they're our draw cards. Yes the signings are not anyone to get excited about, but hopefully they will add to the team in a positive way. When/if we starts selling more than 1000/2000 season tickets, we might start looking at signings that could out bums on seats. Until then it's making the most of what we have.

I'd also add Corey Hall to that list. (given time)

Too many big name signing have turned out to be disappointments over the years ,and some that have come under the radar have been fans favourites . A side that is competitive and shows commitment and effort will pick up more wins than losses IMO and that in itself will bring folk in . Listening to poaching and his vision for the club fulls me with confidence ,and has more charisma and vision in his little finger than Chester had ,who was about as inspiring as an undertaker in his interviews,and surely that must have rubbed off on the players when things got tough .Different team/coach/mindset,what’s not to like ,bring it on .

Im with you it is what it is although think players released would offer more than some signed and the squad is a little unbalanced but we have a budget and would rather stay in that than the club go bust for me its about getting through this season and will happily take 10th right now then hopefully the ground will take shape and with the pitch we can start improving our income

To many fans go by reputation, this is probably a good guide if you are Saints. However, you have to ask why a player with a big reputation has ended up at Trinity, especially overseas players.

There is simply no logic as to why a player who still has it would choose us. We have no money, no obvious chance of sucess and facilities at present remain poor.

True we used to pick up the odd star but NRL players of any known quality joining SL these days are so rare that even Leeds and Wigan etc struggle.

Trinity has some quality but what we really need is players who are hungry, most of our signings fall into that category with the possible exception of Gaskell though even he has underachieved so far in his career relative to other players from that generation.

Signings are never about reputation or selling ST's they are about players who fit and only the coach knows that, despite what we all think on here at times.

Gaskell and Lineham the most high profile of our signings may be duds but they may not be and if the latter is the case we've signed two cracking players. Best to judge after 10m games or more imho.

Regarding NRL players coming to the UK, I got told the other day that in a recent interview Joey Leilua admitted that he didn't know that Featherstone weren't in Super League until after he had signed for them d040.gif d040.gif

If those players had signed 3 year ago would agree with you .Know it's hard to judge with friendlies ,but think W P later signings have been better .Let's hope you are right and I am wrong .Will still give them my full support

Bit of chinese whispers going on here I think, he did say he didn't know Fev were second tier when they rang him up, but I'm not sure he said anything about not knowing until after he had signed...

Just googled it and it could be interpreted either way to be fair....

[i“I got a phone call from Brian and Martin to come over here and play – I didn’t know they were second division to be honest. The way they spoke to me, I thought they were first division.

"They spoke to me and convinced me to come over and my wife said to come over and start fresh and enjoy it here.[/i

Either way I think he will be a cracking signing for you guys if he applies himself as he should icon_thumb.gif

Yeah he's the epitome of a boom-or-bust signing really. I'm pleased we have taken a gamble with him (though rumour is he's not on an exorbitant salary), we'll have to wiat and see how he goes.

Hopefully that's next week v Leigh? Can't decide whether to walk down to POR to enjoy the atmosphere or just watch it at home on t'box.
