Don't think i'm biased...
...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!

Re: New Signings : Mon Oct 25, 2021 6:32 pm  
Past experience suggests that quality players will become available during the season, so I think if we can establish a competitive team now and see how things are going into the season, I'm happy with that.

If we are not too far away from the leaders and showing that we can complete with some backing, then I could see us strengthen for a play off push. However, if we are grinding out wins against Widnes, York and Halifax then no amount of money is going to challenge Leigh and Fev.

The new ownership appears to have steadied the ship and I'm hoping the years of boom and bust are long gone. Until we find a wealthy backer, this is going to be the tale every season going forward.

York have signed Pauli Pauli. Now that's the sort of signing we should be making if we want to increase ticket sales. But I suppose we just can't afford it.


Wonder if people stop and think sometimes maybe John doesn’t want the player, or he doesn’t fit into the budget?

Sick of seeing comments like oh the club should have got him, the club have missed out on him…

John brings in players he wants, that’s how it should be.

Dual Reg is returning in 2022. Wonder if we will link up with Hull FC again.

I'm not saying we should havd signed Pauli Pauli. If you read my post again I said that signing players with his type of profile would stimilate ticket sales. But once again if we can't afford players of this calibre then so be it.

Sadly people don't read comments John. They see what they want to see, then jump down your throat for something they 'think' you meant. Its becoming more common on here im afraid.

:DOH: That's done it now!

As for years of boom and bust, it's been more like bust and bust!

Sorry it wasn’t meant at you Peter, but the assumption in general that we should go for everyone.

Couple of big forwards another winger and I’m happy

I agree another pacey winger would be great and I would have loved to re-sign Hitchcox but it seems our affluent friend at Leigh has snapped him up. Woud probably have cost too much anyway.
