Indicates a total lack of ambition and inclination from all concerned !!!

The only way this extension could possibly make sense is if Radford, King AND Dowes are all somehow leaving but that just isn't going to happen and it would still be a waste of a quota place.

WE ARE PATHETIC !!!

i agree, its only halfway there at the minute

i'll have a guess at 2 more at the most who are average quality with SL experience plus 2 young kids, Broughton being one.

i bet shaun long cant wait to get cracking

i cant believe were looking down the barell of playing with virtually the same pack as this year, deadend deadwood in all its glory

Cusack is a cracking player imo. He is the only forward who actually gives us a chance of getting on the front foot by playing the ball quickly when he has it and slowing down the other team when he doesn't.

Kite was a pipe dream in my opinion, and I cant really see anyone else available that stands out too much so a one year deal for Cusack dosnt seem a bad move, people seem to be happy with the signing of Fitzgibbon this is a similar move, the thought of a mass clearout was nice but unrealistic, we need at least 3 seasons to build a competative side again.

Cusack was fine this season up to the injury. His re-signing can only really be judged in the context of the full set of forwards for next season, and we don't yet know who will be released, or for that matter added, yet.

Interesting point on the quota and who counts or doesn't. Reckon we still have 2 quota spots left?

you dont know that

WHAT A WASTE , not only will our pack be one of the lightest but also one of the oldest.

he packs no punch and I am strugglng to think of the last tackle he broke, how are we going forward, before we signed old fitz he was on his way out now his mates signed and we give him a one year deal was this one of the conditions of fitz signature

all we now need is to give lee another contract and then loan out Houghton and wow what a team we will have next season,

my pass money for next year is looking more likely to stay in my pocket .

he's decent and solid...

but how many other players do we have who are decent and solid, but nothing special

I hope we have got him on reduced terms, and then it'd be a decent renewal.

Most people have being saying get rid of him so surprised
to see that people are pleased to see him sign for another year.
Personally feel we could do alot better with the quota spot .

TBF I think this is down to their being little else out there. He is a good player and the pick of our pack for me.. If we can get one more decent prop then I think our pack will be much better.

Like Cusack as a player and he was one of our best forwards until his injury.........also Dowes has dropped off since Cusack was injured as Agar is running him into the ground with long stints...you can add Tickle to that as well..wont be everyones cup of tea but we havent got a god given right to have the best........

I must admit first thoughts are Im totally underwhelmed, while accepting his attributes I'm sure we should have got a prop offering a little more go forward than Cusack if we are to use a quota spot here, but hes signed so I'll give him my support I would hope hes used in rotation with Dowes to give us the option of utilising 1 prop with a bit of explosion to him.

its not rocket science is it? can you honestly see us signin a new pack??
