Yep, starting to look a bit better.

CIA interrogation tactics include knocking you down mentally then rebuilding you back piece by piece....seems London Broncos decided to go scorched earth and are now trying the same..... Signing L1 players from the bottom half of that table whilst retaining players that helped us miss out on the playoffs isn't exactly groundbreaking, but because the club looked dead a month ago, some people are applauding mediocrity
Edit. I see Salford may be moving to a 5k capacity stadium.....kinda blows the plough lane for superleague myth even further out of the water

I'm not exactly dancing on the ceiling here. My point was, considering what I expected, this is a slight improvement, hence getting my attention a little.

Matches my feelings. We do however need to sign quite a lot of additional players in a short time frame to simply get back to where we were before Fozard et al left. I think it’s clear Aston and Gwaze are off to Halifax. Nothing on Boafo and Walters. If we could keep them that would be handy especially as all our ‘rivals’ appear to be strengthening.

Boafo, Leyland, Hindmarsh and Egodo would be decent to keep hold of. I wonder if Sammutt may end up as a player coach

I don't think the club are that clever.

I said it is looking a bit better. A bit better than a total shitshow. In reality, we need to have a stronger squad than last season to be competitive in the Championship and we are nowhere near that yet.

I’d forgotten about Sammut! As he played a large part in getting us over the line in a number of games I hope he stays as well. Considering he’s about 50 he is very sprightly and a good example to the younger players. Unlike pretty much every one else in our squad he had the X factor. His family is in the North though I believe so he may not fancy it.
I’ve said before Egodo looked overweight or unfit. He seemed to have lost a yard of pace, so I wouldn’t be too upset if we rolled the dice there. Hindmarsh looked good in 19 & 20 but not so impressive this year but I agree we should keep. Leyland I’m not sure about but he is home grown and worth developing.

Up to the coach and what sort/style of game we are going to play, but for me I'd like to see us go fast, quick and constant. To do that we need well drilled ball handlers aplenty and a fit pack with at least one gnarly moffo enforcer to stop the kids getting bullied.

With the season basically starting at the tail end of winter, followed by a wet spring, we'll also need a secondary pack, with at least 2 more big forwards and a half with a kicking game. Let's hope the Aussie HGV drivers get green flagged soon
