| Quote: bonaire "sorry Chris i dont agree that the deals had to be longer to facilitate players living locally
The club have had to rent houses in the past so no reason why this could not have been part of sales package.We are way below cap anyway so renting a house or two for say£1000 per month is hardly going to break the cap.
Like i said 1 year deals with an extension in the clubs favour would have been far more sensible and we dont know whether it would have been acceptable to the players or not'"
I agree the club have rented houses in the past but its not always simply about the accommodation more the whole uprooting their family. If they have a wife/partner with a job and kids settled in a school and doing well and a settled family/social life they aren’t likely to uproot for a 1 year deal, I know I wouldn’t do it for a 1 year deal. That’s why I’ve suggested there may have been a trade off.
Dont get me wrong I’m not particularly enthralled with the signings so far but it’s fair to say by the time we could do much and offer deals the better options on the market had secured deals elsewhere.
At the end of the day we don’t know what the deals agreed are with any of the players but I assume due to the mention of poor cap value and management that’s an area that is being addressed with moving on so many players still with current deals. Sorting the mess out we were and still are in was and is the priority I would say.
There’s no doubt we still lack genuine quality and I don’t get the logic of signing Cust unless Cartwright based on his experience of working with him feels he will be a good addition.
Time will tell come the start of next season as whether it’s been a good start to a complete rebuild or not.

I would assume the logic of signing Cust and a fullback who can play 6 is that they are trying to move Trueman on.

| So if the rumoured comings and goings are true for next year currently we have these "senior" players I think; mixed with more youngsters
Full Back
Moy, Litten, Hardaker, Aussie?
Wing
Baron, Martin, Briscoe, Tindall? - probably going
Centre
Hardaker, Chamberlain, lafai/mcdonald?
Halfs
Abdul, Cust, Trueman - maybe leaving (Unlikely I think)
Props
Ashworth, Sao, Fash, Herman, Aydin
Hookers
Burough, Balmforth, cust
Back Row
Asiata, Cartwright, Stavely, Lane, Holmes
Anyone I've missed? Still a lack of quality but also a lack of depth, particularly in the forwards

| I like the idea of Cust as a 9 with Balmforth and Burrough battling it out for the bench spot. Cust at 6 and Abdull at 7 doesn't inspire me much

| Seems Nikorima (Catalans) is available for the remainder of the season.
Been sacked by then, along with Taka (can't spell his name sorry) and Diakhate.
No idea what they've supposedly done.

Sounds like they’ve gone on unauthorised leave across the England v France game week/weekend

| Taukiaheo has been a terrible signing for Catalan - weren't we linked with him at one point? I imagine he'll be on a decent wedge, seems constantly injured, think he was due to go back to the Roosters this season too before he failed a medical. Haven't really seen much from Nikorima to suggest he'll be a good pickup for us, so would avoid...and Diakhate, silly wasting a chance at Catalan, can't see a third SL club picking him up

Would Nikorima be worth picking up until the end of the season with Reynolds having gone to Fev? Would relieve the pressure of playing Charles week in week out Guess all depends on what he's been sacked for.

| Is Nikorima that good though? He's got a bit of pace from dummy half (which I know I was saying what we need the other day) but not sure he's offered much else of note in Catalans performances this year

| I wouldn't take Nikorima. What would be the point? He wouldn't be here next year, and it would be just spending money for no real reason. Not playing for anything. Play Charles for the most part, with Harman and maybe Medforth getting some game time to see if they can play at SL level. Even Walker at 6 would be an option

Different club different standards I guess, Leigh kept him on despite his drink driving ban

Not necessarily Nikorima but any player who becomes available and is a good fit we should be in for. Charles has shown great promise but like what proved earlier on in the season he isn't ready to play every week in fact it could damage the lads progress.
I also don't agree with there's nothing to play for. League position wise maybe but there's still 11 games left and we should be striving to win or at least compete in all those games.
Finishing strongly would at least give us some momentum going forward in to next season and maintain interest. I will renew my pass come what may but if we finish the season in the usual dire fashion others may not.

Would like to see another big prop brought in if possible.
