Bonaire, simple question for you. Who would you realistically sign for next season. It’s very easy complaining all the time without offering an alternative.

Next seasons over 30 we will have Oli Holmes, John Asiata, Tom Briscoe, Zak Hardaker, Ligi Sao

We will then have Sutty & Herman turn 30 mid season I believe

So that’s 7 players around 30 in a 35 man squad. Bet in comparison to other squads it’s pretty good.

Stupid post and the reaction of someone trying to get brownie points.
You say the same thing every time like the doom and gloom merchants are out or i dont like pessimists well if you want to fall off the end of a cliff because you dont like criticism of any kind on this forum be my guest
Whatamidoinghere? well ask yourself that.never seen you post anything meaningful or worth debating.
By the way put your glasses on and read what i said about the signing of Asiata.Your last paragraph makes you look a fool.

i didnt complain when we signed Asiata or Chan on a short term loan,
They are very good players
If you think a backline of Briscoe,Hardaker,Sutcliffe plus probably Martin is going to elevate us into a major attacking strike force then you are deluded and the idea that we wait a further two years hoping two young centres come through to take their place is even more deluded
several teams have forwards with more pace than those three

Lets see when recruitment is over, still going to be 2 to 4 quota places, plus a few other domestic players to come. Then we can judge Myler on his recruitment.

The quota players are key, if we can bring in another centre,7, 9 and backrow of good quality I think we will be in a decent position.

Missed out on a lot of recruitment because of the timing on Myler/investment.

Nest year is about competing, in every game and having a challenge of 6th position.

Bellamy has extended at Melbourne. Another coach Myler has missed out on

If we've signed hardaker and, potentially cross, we won't be signing another centre

Yep, but Cross is only a wild rumour, ideally I'd sign Cross and a quota centre, but looks like ZH is locked in.

We need 4 players desperately for our 13, centre, HB, Hooker and backrow.

Probably only 3 quota spots (Carlos, Hoy and Ockunbor), so one of those positions needs to be filled with a non fed player.

Wonder what today will bring?.........

You’ve not answered the question, who are we realistically going to sign? For example i much rather we had gone for Ben Davies from St Helens to play centre, but personally I’m still not sure he’s up for it.

If Chan becomes available I’m sure the club would jump to sign him but he’s currently not. There’s a distinct lack of players available so we have to take what we can get for now and look to build. Clubs aren’t going to release their better players for us

Gareth Hock probably

This is very true. We are fishing in a very small pond for federation players and choice is even more limited because the investment has come late. This doesn't alter my opinion on the Hardaker signing.

As you say the remaining quota signings are key. Far more options and hopefully we will have a minimum of three and a marquee spot. The quality of these signings will determine just how competitive we are going to be next season.

I agree on Hardaker, think most fans do, but I'm not devastated, on the field he is an improvement on Carlos, brings a winning mentality, I'd imagine wages won't be too high and he is non quota.

Would have to do a good job taping up his GPS tracking tag.

Some will always see negatives too. At first I wasn’t happy with Zak but if he’s good with the youth,as has been said, I get it. The rebuild is long term not 2 seasons.

A great role model for the youngsters
