| Quote ="Marcus's Bicycle"Great post.
The "taking stock" sounds ambiguous to me. Taking stock of the halfback search and/or the remaining recruitment as a whole.
Obviously the "donor" will be announced when things have been finalised but at least give us an update where we are at the moment.
It's been a long time since we've heard from Pearson and that's what worries me.'"

| Quote ="Marcus's Bicycle"It depends on who you define as a good reserve grader. Although different positions we signed and was strongly linked with the two PNG players neither of whom played made a single NRL match. Is that really the level we are looking at for such a key position.
We made Lam a massive offer. That kind of money should be enough to lure a player of similar quality from the NRL even if we are not the most attractive proposition at the moment.'"
It shows there is little strategy in what the club are doing when they sign the PNG full back when we have Moy,Walker,Litten and Hardaker who can also play there and then are linked with the PNG hooker when we have Smith.Balmforth and several forwards like Lane who can play there whilst screaming out for a halfback and centre
In Ritchie we trust

More than linked with we agreed to sign Rimbu the PNG hooker according to press reports. At the time we only had Balmforth as a specialist hooker and arguably Smith so we needed another one. That fell through for whatever reason and we signed Bourouh a couple of weeks later. Since then we have signed Cust who is slated to play Hooker which baffles me as he has hardly played there. I wouldn't be surprised if Cust will be the halfback we need with Charles and Smith as back ups.

Need to chase harder!
Bit harsh that. I think he's a pretty useful squad player.

| If Cust and Abdul can stay fit I think it could be a pretty decent half back combo. I think Cust will surprise a few this year. But i know chances of them both staying fit are slim unless Cartrights fitness regime sorts can sort them both out

| Let4ing trueman go was a calculated risk that I agree with. He's barely played half the games we've had and not been great when he has played. Maybe the taking stock comment means we'll use cust as a half back and switch to looking for a decent hooker which, imo is as important as a half back in terms of the team. Lam was playing for leigh and they struggled until ipape and asisata came back and now they're flying

| More worrying than the result for me today was again how many passholders of 10plus even 20 years staying away. We always lose a few during summer holidays but some must have been on a round the world cruise they've been gone that long.
The worry is then income drops so the clubs decides to cut the budget...and we're in a spiral we can't get out of

Even if our recruitment is done, if the ‘investment’ AP spoke about happens they really need to get it announced to kick a bit of life into the club and get some enthusiasm around the place before season ticket sales. I know so many die hards and ST holders not even bothering at the moment even though they’ve already paid.

| For the love of Christmas
Grix has to go
The players must regard him as a muppet
They refuse to play for him
They turn up when they want and they’re really really not scared of him or that outcome of a Shoite performance
He has no gravitas or credibility
Anyone can see the players run themselves
They are their own bosses
Grix has to go at the end of the season
How can he coach alongside JC
The players just think “ oh yeah - you were that clown before JC”
Some of that play v Cas was akin to League 2
Utter garbage
Shoite on top of Shoite on top of more steaming shoite
Grix clearly has to go and I can’t hear an argument any other way

Not been impressed with him but in fairness what coaches have the players respected?
Gentle was forced out, Radford struggled until the leaders in the dressing room shut him out at Widnes and gave the squad a boot up the...after a golden spell we were back not being bothered at the end of seasons again a couple of years later.
The players performed for Last but that was a short spell in a bonkers season. They then didn't perform for Hodgson and Smith.
So yes Grix could be better but these problems are over a decade deep now.
