Apart from Asiata all the players he has signed are bang average and in my mind very lazy recruitment.
Like others you could say that they were the only players available but how do you know?
Have you seen the arrival of a quality halfback as its a year since Clifford departed NO
Have you seen the arrival of a quality centre NO
Have you seen the arrival of a big mobile forward eirther front row or second row NO
The fact that it seems that he has passed the buck now onto Cartwright to find us players i dont think he has done very much positive recruitment at all

Are we just ignoring the signing of Abdull and Jed Cartwright then?

| Quote: Chris71 "In Dans article today he states that Trueman will not be here next season so whilst not official, it pretty much confirms what we have all thought/known for long enough that Trueman is on his way to pastures new.'"
That article feels like it's laying the ground for us to an accept that it'll be a Cust and Abdul pairing in 2025

There's definitely an argument to made that his recruitment thus far has been unsuccessful, especially if its measured against an aim of being a top 6 side next year. Perhaps less so if you reduce those aims slightly.
It's just the lazy comment I found odd, for all we know he has been solidly working 12 hours day contacting every agent in the southern hemisphere but to little avail or he might have been getting unreal scores on Minesweeper and just ringing a couple of blokes in Leigh instead. We have no way of knowing.

| I’m sure the part about Truman leaving wasn’t in the original article then edited in a couple of hours later,which seems a bit odd

No it wasn't. That's why I asked where it was. It was purely about the half back situation without Trueman in it.
Very strange.
So at the minute we were promised 3 marquee players by Pearson.
As if yet only one for next year

asiata and abdul. I'm not worried about how many marquee signings we have, more the quality of player. No point throwing marquee money at the wrong player

| But quality players usually get marquee money.
I'll be surprised if Abdull is a marquee.

How many times have we had the same post from the same posters
It cant be finished but it has to be several levels up in quality to what is already coming in and i doubt that will happen.
Quite obvious we are struggling at this level

| I don't like the sound of all this letting players go and taking stock/sitting on our hands and waiting to see what becomes available stuff. We need to be proactive and making 'unavailable' players offers if that's what it takes. I know there isn't much out there and even less that would want to come here, but to me it smacks of last seasons and the previous ones late rush to sign what turned out to be little more than mediocrity.

two game Jed
Lets see if he can string a few games together so we cant ignore him
Jury"s out regarding Abdull and a huge gamble by the club
That said if we can find a real running half to work with him and keep him fit then it could come off.
What is obvious especially at Wigan is just how poor our kicking from hand is and Abdull will certainly improve both that and our last tackle option

He should have made a trip to Australia a priority to introduce himself to players and agents especially as he knew we needed a quality halfback but instead chose the easy route and recruit a quantity of average players.
One quality player is far better than two or three average Joes as we will find out next season when we line up with Briscoe,Hardaker and Chamberlain as our first choice backs
