I thought we did OK, not sure who else we could have brought in.

I'm happy to leave any of next years new signings to next year, give them a fresh start. If we signed Cust and he didn't perform (which is highly likely with our current pack) fans would start on him already.

Would be less embarrassing if the club just had a big bonny out the back of the KCom and smoked them all.
Put it down to experience.

Salford have one of the smaller squads and still in the playoffs so not surprised. I dont think he's an amazing player either but it feels like a Cartwright signing as he's worked with him before so will trust the new coaches judgement on this one

Either cust or borough played for salford yesterday

Cartwright has to get our discipline sorted, unbelievable how many cards and bans we have had (some very harsh, but still).

I do think it's a bit of a vicious cycle, we're under the pump a lot of time so players get tired and frustrated which translates into lazy arms and stupid decisions.
Doesn't excuse a lot of it but there is some mitigation there.

Well the season started out shockingly bad, seemed to pick up a bit with the news of new investment and Richie Myler coming in but has now fizzled out into a depressing mess. Nobody will seemingly come to us, no news on signings, injuries galore, endless losses and any new found optimism has dwindled away. Some serious signings are gonna have to be made with our last quota places or there will be a hard core of about 8000 there next year and no one else

I respectfully disagree... i don't feel as though the optimism and excitement ahead of what next year could bring has dwindled? We will be stronger, more robust and less easy to play against and will creep up the table (BABY STEPS an and all that!!)

Would you not be happy if we lined up something like the below next year? If potential signings come off...

01 Walker/Moy
02 Briscoe
03 Hardaker
04 Lafai
05 Barron/Martin
06 Sullivan (He would absolutely rip it up in SL)
07 Abdul
08 Ese Ese
09 Cust
10 Ashworth/Aydin
11 Cartwright
12 Holmes
13 Asiata

No

Why don't you expand with an alternative suggestion? You're complete negativity and is useless without giving an alternative viewpoint. It makes me suspect that you are just trolling!

I think the link between the club and the fans is about right. But not everything needs to come out from behind the scenes. Cannot satisfy all posters for whom only a win is good enough. I am happy to see progress behind the scenes which relies on some publicity whether it is via HDM or elsewhere. But if information is put out there it needs to be genuine. eg Hull close to signing Lam may have been true it just didn’t come off in the end. But if we’re not winning for some fans it seems to provoke overly harsh criticism which is only helpful to them - catharsis but is really useless and annoying to most. Wish we could all be more circumspect. The club are trying can’t we as fans follow suit

That team you’ve posted would be better than anything we’ve put out this season, but there’s two big problems, the biggest problem is that we’ve not signed Lafai or Sullivan have we? Then in that 13 alone there’s a least a few players who’ve had really bad luck with injuries recently, and often players like that for whatever reason often struggle to shake the bad luck.

FWIW I wouldn’t be too thrilled about Lafai anyway just because of his age on a 2-3 year contract but I’ll accept he is playing better then what we’ve mostly put out this season.

Barring signings we’ve not made I’d say at best we might not get as many hammerings and maybe have a group with more experience and mental toughness. Quality wise still way and I’d suggest even Wakefield would fancy their chances of finishing above us. We make a few real quality signings and things change, but we can only judge that when it happens. We’ve had trouble bringing quality in.

a question was asked that required a Yes/No answer, no expansion needed. The team lacks pace, size, strike, creativity and flair. Other than that it's great
