Its a very sad state of affairs and the recruitment was very poor during the off season and if we look back to the previous year we got very lucky with Dual Reg...look at how many games people like Whiting and Kay won us that pushed us up to the lofty heights.

I agree some of the signings this year are solid but the damage is done and morale is shot across the side, it seems once a team gets 12 points up on us, heads go and we forget how to play. I have faith that GT and PG can turn us into a decent side again but its not going to be instant and due to the late recognition by "Club Doncaster" that we were up to our necks in it it looks like this season could be a very costly one.

I cannot see a big crowd on Sunday sadly as many fans feel let down by the club and its management (I am one of them) Hopefully we can pull of a win tho and with the likes of Waller back and hopefully Waterman we have some match winners available.

There has been some massive mismanagement at the club this year.... who is accountable for it, its likely we'll never know it cost Paul Cooke his job but who was responsible for the close season acquisitions and policy of youth. I am not sure it was PC as quite a few players didnt stay around long enough to even pull on a shirt....as I said its likely we'll never know....hopefully GT is strong enough to sign the players he wants and feels will make us a better side.

Week in week out the fans get behind the team , yet we are served up the same poor performances , fans can only take so much before they say enough is enough, as for sammut in signing him would have taken us over the salery cap and we would not have been able to have any more loan players or DR players , some of u would say that we don't need loan or DR players quite rightly , so would it have been worth taking a chance or struggle to put a team out out if we got a load of injuries

How do you know it would have taken us over the salary cap?
Do you know what we have spent and what he would have cost.
So has Workington gone over theirs then.?

Was told by Baldwin and Carl , at a fans meeting , do you have to question every post I told you and that should be good ebough , no idea about workingtons finances and I ain't interested in them only us

Since when do i question every post you put on here.
I thought that's what this place was for to put your views and ask questions.
You should have explained in your post where you got your information from then, then we wouldn't
ask the question.
So Baldwin and carl have said that actually signing Sammut would have taken us over the salary cap,
this week it only came out on Monday as far as i know.
Sorry another question
I wouldn't trust Baldwin as far as i could throw him.
You should be interested in Workington because if they finish above us we are down,
like i am interested in Batley and Whitehaven as well.

I give up on here you have your own clique I gave u an answer to the question posed , it was not about sammut was about another SL player why we did not sign , and that was the reply we got , I understand why there is so few of you on here u all think you know it all , and when some one comes on here with answers you got to have a dig , I gunna stick to Facebook from now on so don't bother with a response

To be fair, I don't think anyone was having a dig, Titanic. None of us were aware of the salary cap implications with the Jarrod Sammut situation. Thanks for filling us in on the details.

Bang on the money. But I wouldn't expect owt else

I'm in a clique of one ... if that helps?

Well that is that then !

DIRE.

Only just read this thread and the comments about the salary cap. How many contracted players have we got? I wouldn't have thought we would anywhere near the cap as we haven't had to pay winning pay all year!

Well today was bad, so what to do?.. but I have to say, I am sick of hearing that it's poor recruitment of youth as the reason the team is losing, being as most of them have never had the chance to prove them self on a regular basis, which is a bit unfair on those lads as they are all good players.. If some of the squad had half the desire of those lads and got paid diddly the same as them for training 3 times a week, then they would play a lot harder for that win bonus!.. Dual reg players on good money, walking into the side in any position they want, has fkd us up this season and lost us a few good young prospects, who would have got better each week! And don't say they weren't experienced, cos how do they get experience without playing? Oh and by the way, before playing in an academy is mentioned, they all played at that level too!.. Rant over x
