im my opiion, when AP took charge i thought we would be signing top draw players... he stated the siging of ellis was just the start. and ellis is a great siging dont get me wrong, but since then weve signed jay pitts, who couldnt get in leeds team, joe arundel who lets be fair hasnt really set the world alight this year, maybe through injury i dont know....
and we have lost manu,turner, possibly moa and maybe tickle if rumour about widnes is correct... these are all first choice players, ones of which will be hard to replace especially manu.... not exactly setting the world alight in player recruitment in my opinion...from the outset, we need quality to add to the quality we already have, but weve lost serious quality in manu and thats a fact... i dont think mcrae or gentle ever saw him leaving if im honest and im sure it was a massive blow to both when he stated his intetions same as turner....
to move on we need to be siging players that would get into wigans,sts,wire first team.... and currently we arnet, hence why we cant compete for trophys.... how waire are under the salary cap is beyond me, something in which the RL have to have a seriuos look at, there staring 13 is near-on full interantional standard, which is amazing if were all supposed to be singing of the same song sheet etc, if it is all above board then the money people at teams such as ourselves need to have a proper reality check and ask why they can get the players of the calibre of monoghan x2 , morley,atkins,hodgeson etc etc and we have infirior players...

Spot on!!
Dont know what is going on, what people are saying that Ellis is a replacement for Manu, is rubbish, he was NEVER meant as a replacement, linked now with Elima, what a joke, if that is the level of player we are looking at then you can kiss goodbye of ever competing with the like of Wigan and Wire,

Fui Fui Moi Moi rumoured to be interesting Catalans - should we be interested to replace Moa?

You do know that Wigan are losing Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Lima and who are they being linked with!? That's right - Matty Smith. The quanlity of player will decrease in SL next year.

Cant beleive you are slagging off the club regards recruitment based on ub-substantiated rumours

Mertin signed new deal couple months ago

so your happy with the clubs recruitment / retention so far for next season??

Merrin i meant

Turner - happy he has left
Arundel - happy he has arrived
Ellis - ecstatic that he has signed
Manu - disapointed that he has gone but we have had him during his 'peak' years

Overall - quite happy

no, the guy is finished, this is my problem, we lose a top player in moa, with his best years ahead of him and sign moi moi who's well past his best... the mind boggles

Hardly the club's fault that he wants to be nearer his family though is it?? and we havent signed moi moi, not even linked with him so why slag the club? Until a name is announced it is all just a load of guessing games
