And all i am doing is pointing out that on this forum there will always be some that make a case for whoever we sign irrespective of age or lack of ability..
There cannot be many on here that honestly think that the clubs recruitment for 2025 is good.
its P-ss poor with no strategy and full of average ageing Joes who will spend most of the time sitting in the stands due to injury.

Are the players incoming better than those who are leaving?

Rapana - Walker presumably?
Hardaker - Sutcliffe
Chamberlain - Scott
Cartwright - Okunbor
Aydin - Jack Brown
Briscoe - Mcintosh
Cust - Morgan Smith
Abdull - Nu Brown
Sezer - Hoy
Bourouh - Houghton
Asiata - Pele?
Holmes - ?

Plus the emergence of Martin, Moy, Balmforth. Hopefully Barron can continue to impress and Staveley comes back strong.

Looking at it as a whole, I'd say we've improved the squad overall. Does it still have gaps? 100% I don't think anyone would deny that.

The club has been on a slow and steady decline for the last 5 plus seasons, it might take a steady increase to get back to where we want to be.

Most sensible post on here for a while.

Do I expect to be ecstatic next season? No. Will it be a start of a climb back up the ladder? Yes I think so

I do think our situation is amplified by how well Rovers are doing. I'm sure they felt the same in 16/17.

Just enjoy the ride

Correct but it's like talking to a brick wall.

Hail Sezer surely

Welcome to misery corner, your regular spot for doom and gloom.

You mean...supporters actually SUPPORTING their club? We need to rid the club of this cancer immediately!!!! After all, constant negativity from the terraces has proven over time to be a major benefit right? Remember when we used to turn much better sides over at Boulevard just with our support? The bad old days eh? :'(

I don’t think you ever see an upside, or think anything other than short term. Plus the market is limited. The club is trying to rebuild not buy 13 superstars who are 25 yrs old. We are lucky in several ways that should make all hull fans happy- no relegation, some money has come in, a good youth system, some useful signings, some good signings, yes, some unknowns, a new coach. We have Myler and Ellis who have contacts too. Think we’ve done well given the context. Your mindset will challenge all that but that’s your way I guess. Look on the bright side

Still think we will sign 2 more players, a centre and a forward.

Have we had a definitive update on the quota rules yet? I guess as it stands Carlos will be leaving.

I still don't think Sezer's the type of half we need but a lot of West Tigers fans have been posting many favourable comments about him on facebook which is encouraging.

Unless I've missed someone are Hardaker and Chamberlain and maybe Litten the only centre's we have for next season. If so that's madness we desperately need another one.

Guessing Rapana will be an option and Ryan Westerman too but yes, definitely could do with another one.

Think Dawson will be above Westerman, think he would have played first team this year without his injury

But yes, if we keep Walker and play Rapana there, think we are OK, if we lose Walker, we need another centre from somewhere.
