well said Wilf
just what i have been saying for weeks

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

Yeh but in all honesty I know Dan Tomlinson pretty well, he's a savvy guy and he knows what's going on and who can honestly say they are over joyed with a comment he makes like, "The Black and Whites, who will see Jake Trueman depart the club at the end of the season, are understood to be taking stock a bit before launching another serious move".

We might get two top notch quota signings but we all know we might not!!! Why let Truman go until we have someone else signed. He might not have cut the mustard of late but he knows the game backwards and under a new coach and attacking regime and particularly a new fitness and conditioning team, he could still be better than a lot of the second hand joes that are out there waiting to be 'snapped up' in desperation.

Yes it's tedious when posters make the same point over and over again, isn't it?

I'd rather him here sorting things out to be honest. He can go to aus early next season and do the agent thing. Is it a necessity anyway in this day and age. Plenty of things can be done over Zoom now

Absolutely agree with this.

Wakey sign Trueman.

I would like to think that now Myler and Cartwright are in charge of recruitment that repeats of past mistakes won't be repeated and that we will already have a replacement signed before releasing Trueman from the remaining year of his contract.

Yes it is
Is recruitment finished yet?
i have heard you say several times like other posters on here when the clubs poor recruitment has been questioned

Good luck to the kid, but in the past 4 seasons he's had a bad back injury, done his ACL and his achilles. You have to go back to 2019 to see him hit 20 games.

Frees up a big chunk of cap space for us.

Asi not the half we are targeting according to HDM.

Does anyone even do that any more with the advent of video calls? Plus our new coach is already there if any face to faces are necessary.
Also I don't get how the recruitment we have so far done is somehow easy? Are you suggesting he couldn't be d to find any good players so just signed the first ones he could?
I get that they don't exactly set pulses racing but we need quite a few players and there aren't that many quality ones around to sign atm, especially if you are trying to get value on the cap which is something we're hugely struggled with.
We've still got two non-fed spots to play with and I doubt we're done just yet. Whether we'll end up with the calibre you crave is open to question but I find this assertion that Myler has signed players because he can't be d to do the hard yards a bit ridiculous in all honesty.

I agree with that but I do think we now need a statement from the club letting us know what they plan, what the thinking is and what's behind another player leaving without a replacement. Hardly engenders any confidence amongst us season ticket holders. Perhaps we'll hear something tomorrow!

I can't say I have any great confidence that we'll get the players we need but I don't think it'll be from lack of trying.

Really don't understand how we have released Trueman without signing a replacement.

How many of our eggs did we put in the basket in relation to Lam??
