| What if we sign this phantom front rower and he breaks his leg first game?
Do you have a plan B, gaffer?

| Doesn't so much of the marquee players wage count on the cap anyway?

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

| I’m intrigued
We keep seeing the message we’re upto cap, after releasing watts, Fonua, Ellis which is a good chunk of cap and replacing with paea and faramino as well as Hadley coming back my question is who is the cap being spent on, and if are they justifying their wage.
We’ve had two challenge cup final wins, as well as the Aussie trip , anybody care to guess how much we made off those, combined with the good season pass sales and fifteen shirts a season sales, surely we have some cash? If not why not?
If we’re upto cap I think we’ve mismanaged it a tad
Time to review who the high earners are, and if they ain’t cutting it, let’s release them and get some big signings in

I heard Radford on Humberside before the season started saying you had to pay £137k this year on improved contracts of existing players. I know Kelly was one name mentioned but cant remember the rest.

| As mentioned before, extensions for Kelly, Fash, Masi, Carlos, Bowden, Taylor, Connor, Lane, Talanoa, and a number of juniors.

| Abandon the reserves farce, tell lots of players like Logan, Paea, Thompson, Talanoa that they wont play for us again and are free to find another club - ie get them off our salary cap then sign one or two Marquee forwards - would completely change us imo

Who are they going to sign for mid season? You can't just cancel contracts.
You are confusing Super League with Fantasy Football.

| The Club have totally misunderstood what was required for this season.
The root of our troubles started, with the needless trip to Australia.
What did we get out of that ?
Even with the injury crisis it is obvious we needed to strengthen the pack. Once Watts left , Taylor apart , out front row is weak.
To have a good year this year , it hinges on Kelly.
If he stays fit , and interested he will provide the spark and magic required. If he had played more last year, we would have edged some games.

| The club destroyed all its recent work when it binned Watts for nothing. It should of gone out and replaced with better as a statement. Instead it did nothing then rewarded existing players who are past it with more contracts. If nothing is done to rectify it now this season is over and next year will be another season of transition. Thats the next two seasons of nothing. The club needs to take a grip of this now, admit they got things wrong and start changing asap.

Even if we have Kelly back Wigan will be far too strong and fast for us.
The problem we have is how long do you let the loss situation go.
We cant keep saying pleased with the effort if we dont get the points.
With London we are now the other team in Super League that will struggle for points.

I can't agree with that. What harm did it do to Wigan ? they won the GF !!! Seriously how could Wigan do so well and us not ? Our form has nothing to do with the Aussie trip.
We played so well v St George and the plane home would have been buzzing. Also we trained with one of the Top RL sides in Sydney.
I'll tell you what went wrong - Wollongong - we were totally outplayed - outcoached and out enthused
Why ? the coach !

| As much as Pearson has done for the club, he needs to do something, as he is danger of un doing all his hard work and money.
As it stands there is not alot of positivity around the club, which is worrying after only two games.
Poor recruitment
COHA (5 players in the Engalnd squad is great, but shared between two clubs, whilst clubs like Bradford have 6/7 on their own)
Stadium
Losing run.
First thing is we need to win a game, which at the moment doesn't feel like it is coming, I'm sure we will win against Hudds, Leeds or Wakey, but the sooner it comes the better.
Think we need to make a statement with recruitment and bring in 4/5 players, with at least one of them being a top player from the NRL.

Your last line is pie in the sky Dave. It is probably what you need but as Pearson found out impossible to achieve this season.
