We’ve re-signed Washy, Paea, Westy and potentially Thompson.

Can we re-sign Liam Watts next please?

The wail has a piece today on jordan thompson and matty dawson which looks like we're in discussions with both. Presumably these 2 plus the kid from salford and the guy from oldham are the 4 "proper" signings pearson talked about?

Any news on the ones who we were moving on due to their performances after they signed contract extensions?

Just cant see the point of bringing in average players and then trying to move on average players
Our squad probably looks ok on paper but in reality is miles off the pace of the leading clubs

JTP I am glad you seeing through the smokescreen of Pearsons comments and calling them out, it was a ridiculous thing to say.

I think he's made a rod for his own back and Radford's with them comments, then not delivering on them. ( He still may do - but doesn't look that way)

If the start of next season is tough and you guys lose a couple things will really start to get awkward then, with comments about people been moved on not happening and extensions for injury prone players etc.

He's made it very very difficult. He's done a lot of good things for you lot, but that outburst wasn't one of them.

There's no smokescreen. HTH

It's also down to a lack of developing younger players into quality SL ones. I see ellis will be concentrating on this so I assume the club have highlighted it as an issue and hopefully ellis will improve things

Don't know whether to laugh or cry 2015 ins sneyd , Pryce , minichello and Michaels .2016 ins Taylor , fonua,. Tuimavave, Pritchard, and manu. 2017 ins Kelly, Connor and Griffin. 2018 ins para, faraimo, miloudi and westerman, 2019 ins nzoungo, langtree and potentially Thompson and dawson-jones . How were missing Motu , hardly awe inspiring for 2019 ,in my opinion we are heading back down the poor to average road , will struggle to sell passes if these are the 2019 signings. Well and truly underwhelmed.

yes but from that list we still have mini, taylor,tuime,manu,kelly sneyd,connor, griffin, westy, faraimo,miloudi, so lot of salary cap there, what do you expect us to sign, we are bolstering the squad,

But we’ve lost Ellis, Watts, Fonua, Pritchard.... you could say we replaced Fonua with the next best available but Ellis and Watts have left a huge hole which we’ve barely made a half @rsed attempt at filling

Re: In's and out's : Sat Oct 13, 2018 3:43 pm  

replaced watts with westy, fairomo for fonua, Pritchard imo isn't a miss when he was here most thought he underperformed, ellis we replaced with Hadley, hasn't worked out but these things happen, watts leaving hit us hard imo but sometimes you gotta draw a line in the sand, we still have the nucleus for a good side and look to be adding to the squad, where not as bad as some are saying imo,

Re: In's and out's : Sat Oct 13, 2018 3:51 pm  

…. I thought Hadley was a more than useful replacement for Ellis until his first injury - he never achieved the same performance levels after that.
Paea has played much better than people on here suggest, and Masi has improved immensely since the beginning of the season.
Then there's Bienek, hardly doom and gloom with a fully fit squad.

Who should we have signed to replace Ellis and Watts who was available, oh wise one?
