Kevin Brown new signing and got rid of several rubbish players.I think Phil Joseph added and a few of our youngsters will be stepping up and going on dual registration too.

I think we're being purposefully conservative in terms of signing players. The club are probably disappointed with the levels of support last season (the reason for this probably under investment in the playing squad creating something of a vicious circle). Hence the new CEO and upping of prices, trialing Friday night games etc. We're going to be using this season to take stock of where we are and how we can build better.

I'm not hugely disappointed if this is the case. I'd rather us build in a sustainable way than for Steve O'Connor to pump more of his own money in to draw more supporters in, that's the sort of logic that put us into administration.

To be quite frank there are some people who don't appreciate how lucky we are (not here mainly looking at the Trust board). A few years ago we didn't have a club to speak of, now we're in Super League. That's massive. Of course we'd all enjoy to be putting a better team on the pitch but not at risk of putting the club in financial trouble again.

Mixed from me at the minute, on one hand im glad we've kept a settled squad overall, it must be the first time in god knows how many years we've done that. On the other side of the coin our squad appears to be a little weaker in depth than it was last year. I'm sure Kevin Brown will be a good signing given we didn't really have a settled stand off at any point last season.

Still need another 2 players coming in for me, second row and centre, once we have them ill be looking forward to 2013.

For what its worth if Phil Joseph stays fit I think he'll be a decent squad player for us, he's got a lot more size than Haggerty for example and is very strong.

Joseph appeared to start the season well for Bradford then faded and found it difficult to get a bench place. Doubtful he's a SL quality player.
To climb the league your pack needs better than him.

We're pretty ed if we have six season ending injuries again.
