Serious question, do you think its a conscious decision to not strengthen and save cash or do you think its a decision thats been forced by certain targets turning you down? Or maybe a mix of both?

On a new contract.

Is that the business plan that we had to show the RFL to get a SL franchise?

Ah, that explains our 3-year licence then!

If you think Hudgell didn't recruit Paul Cooke, then you are deluding yourself. Do you really think he was Morgan's choice?

Don't worry - Hudgell has already spoken of 2 "top class" signings, and we're all agreed that the incoming players so far don't fit into that bracket. Plus GML said recently that two players are coming in at the top end of the squad.

This isn't the first time Rovers have declared recruitment as good as finished then brought someone in - just a media tactic to create an "unexpected boost", like overstating injuries etc.

There's a difference between listing injuries that actually prevent players playing, and declaring a multitude of players doubtful in a post match interview a week before an important game to create the age old "unexpected boost" on the Thursday when they're all miraculously fit. Morgan never seems to tire of it.

Anyway, back on topic. The names in the frame right now seem to be Graham, Clinton and Crocker. Which 2 from these 3?

The frame of messageboard rumour and speculation. Since GML has said there are 2 senior players coming in and these names keep cropping up (Clinton having been identified as a target in the HDM), why shouldn't it be two of them?

So it's Clinton plus one other senior player.
