Shopping list for 2025

Quote: Chris71 "I don’t think people are moaning per se or just for the sake of it though, I think they most are balanced with their views and reasons why.

For me Rapana who despite his age is still a top player who will add leadership which has been lacking since the likes of Ellis & Mini retired. In isolation along with Asiata then I think Rapanas signing would have been received a little better.
But with the likes of Sezer who seems to have done ok this season back in the NRL but did very little after his first season in SL and was practically anonymous at Leeds. Then add in Cust who can’t seem to get a game at Salford and has a more than chequered record in the SL fans. Add in we have ideally needed a running half to complement Abdull, a quality 9 to replace Houghton and ideally a quality centre then fans will quite rightly
question the signings given our record since 2018.

I just hope that the connection with Cartwright will be a big plus but remain to be convinced on Sezer or Cust as personally think both aren’t they type of players we needed.'"

Balanced post. I'm not convinced at all by the recruitment but with a new coach and the strengthening of the back room staff I'm hoping for a steady improvement on the field. That's the least we can ask for after the shambles of the last few years. Hope over expectation!
