You can't have been following rugby league for very long. Back to back Cup wins in 10 years is the most success this city has seen in 40 odd years. Thank you Mr Pearson!

Club cant win, they don't sign anyone and we have Lane, Fash and Houghton starting next, so they sign some experienced players in a tough market after starting recruitment a couple of month after everyone else.

Add in the fact people don't really want to move to the city and the position the club are in, I'm not sure how we can sign better.

We have signedvone of the most influential players in SL, along with a few others who are better than our current 17.

Club have tried to sign Lam, Whitehead and Sailor who all choose to sign or stay at clubs in a much better position short term.

Not really sure who people think we should have signed, not easy making such big changes to the squad in the short term.

Overall think Myler has gone a good a job as he could, Cust is maybe the exception, but it seems to be influenced by our new coach.

New coaches can make a huge difference look at Rowley and there squad, he has got (what would have been average players) playing to their best of their ability, players like Brieley, Cross and even Watkins, who ifcwe had signed when they were available would have been heavily critisesd.

Peters is another who had got players playing their best form of their career, hopefully Cartwright can have a similar impact.

Be careful what you say the drama queens will be out in force hiding behind It's my Opinion that FC are s hite at everything

there is no way circa 10000 fans in the ground for the last coulple of home games

Don't think there was any update in the Lam situation?

Or that most on here are deluded and believe anything
Dont worry Adam will be on soon with his annual back us speech as we have built a team that will really compete and the usual will be taken in once again

Everyone knows this is a rovers fan,right?

Thought you were a pass holder?

Whilst things aren't much fun at the minute, I do think people have a tendency to overexaggerate. Margins in professional sport are very small, and it often doesn't take much to turn a clubs fortunes (for better or worse). The priority in the wake of Smith's sacking was making sure we made the right appointment, and I'm happy with the one we made. I think Cartwright seems like the perfect guy to sort out the fitness and discipline and get us really fighting for one another, and if we get those things right then it should give us a solid foundation to build from.

Asiata is an excellent signing. The rest have a bit of a journeyman feel about them granted, but they aren't terrible players, they just aren't "bums on seats" signings, that's all. If they can give us a bit of stability to get us on the right track and allow the youngsters to develop then they will have served their purpose. It's going to take at least 2 more recruitment cycles after this one to put a properly competitive squad together.

I wouldn't say I'm excited about next season, but I am happy that the club is in better hands than it was and we are taking little steps in the right direction. I know fans don't want to be told to be patient, but there's nothing else for it I'm afraid because it isn't getting fixed overnight.

Whislt i am far from being a HKR fan i do appreciate what a good team looks like and whether you like it or not they are a good team.
Take a look at the league table my bitter friend and whether they win anything this season i am not bothered but the fact is they have a good coach,very proactive as a club and play attractive R/L with a well structured defence and offence if you understand what that is

It’s over boys and girls

I ain’t your friend at all,,don’t flatter yourself..you’re having a great season,just be happy with that eh..

When a player would rather stay at Leigh after being offered 300k+ you have to take a look at how far we have a fallen.

Don't think there is any fans who seriously thought he would sign, particularly with it dragging on, still disappointed, but glad it's over and we can move on. Suspect the club have known for a bit and already looking for a halfback, that we desperately need.

Was told it was genuinely close at one stage until Leigh came back with an improved contract and most likely captaincy for next season. Just been played for fools like we did with Lam Snr
