for me this situation is summed up by the following question, how many players in our squad would get into other teams like saints, wigan, wire, leeds, kr or hudds i.e the teams we want to be competing with? O'meley, Houghton, Briscoe, and possibly Manu and Fitz, to sumise, we are a very average team ...at best and in honesty i believe we've over achieved this season by finishing 6th. So long as we keep signing players like radford for 2 years and Yeaman for 3 we'll never move on. I fear the same will happen with Horne next year when his contract his up, great guy and a loyal servant but if we want to move on the club have to show a ruthless streak.

Didn`t know you felt that way.

was saying at the open day going bk home to be a Plumber

Think he will be quite successful given the amount of 5hit he has worked with this year

fc legend

I would take Manu , Briscoe (must travel down under ) , Houghton . That's it nobody else . For me a lot boils down to recruitment and HFC should be looking at imports who are of similar standard to previous excellent ones e.g Kearney and Swain .
Assuming Long has one more year left in him then either you recruit a young lad from the academy or start looking for an experienced number 7 quick.

I heard recently that Longy has an option for a third season, linked to appearances.

He expects it to be activated.

Anybody know if this fact or fiction ?

nope

this season i would like cusack,calderwood,dowes,radders and burnett all to go with a young halfback, a top quality centre and prop to come in. then for 2012 is when the major transfer will happen with fitzy,long and berro most likely all to leave theres some money.

With the money we've got spare I'm guessing we could bring in 2 big players.

I bet we don't.

I would like us to go for Jason Taylor!!
