Gareth Hock? I'd rather sign Gareth Gates ffs!
Back row we've got plenty of good options and good starters too in Ablett, Ward and Delaney.
As for front row we do need to make a signing or two but I'd rather we spent our money, time and energy recruiting somebody that we won't end up sacking 3 months later.
People say what message does it send out to the youngsters if we keep extending the careers of the old guys.....even if you don't agree that we should you can still sort of understand the 'make it here and you can have a long career here' thinking, even if some youngsters have to wait longer.
What message is it if we then turn around and throw a career-waster whose messed up every chance he's had in ahead of them. On his day he's a good talent, but he ain't that bloody good to go mess around with the ethos and mindset of the club.
Think he'll end up at a middle 8 club, someone desperate. Desperate to either avoid relegation or desperate to gain promotion.
