Shame about Taai. I thought he would not be too expensive considering his age and the fact that he has no club. Would have been a great addition and maybe have given a boost to season ticket sales. But if Kear says we can't afford him then that is the correct decision, simple as that.

I must admit its been that long since we've played I struggle to have a real feel about the quality of our existing squad. Surely there or thereabouts for the top 6, but beyond that I wouldn't have a clue.

There’s gunna be a lot of things affecting the position... 6 again no scrums makes it a faster game I think we have a good squad for that... some others don’t

The Taai comment from JK and the few responses on this thread look like the exact reason Squad Booster was set up. To help with funding or topping up salaries when the club can’t meet the demands of the target. For a minimum of £5 pm can enough join to help with this one or others? https://bullssquadbooster.co.uk/

How true it all is I don’t know but Rugby League ITK on Twitter reports we have signed Ukuuma Taai

That Twitter account is garbage. Some attention seeker who probably gets their “info” from rumours on fans forums etc

Re: Taai : Fri Feb 05, 2021 8:26 pm  

Hes just signed for Newcastle

Re: Taai : Fri Feb 05, 2021 8:49 pm  

Taai confirmed to Newcastle Thunder. We really must not have a pot to urinate in.

So many decent players gone to smaller clubs than us.

And before anyone jumps on my back i fully understand we cant over spend AGAIN. It just frustrates me when we miss out on good players.

Re: Taai : Fri Feb 05, 2021 8:51 pm  

I agree raging bull, simply can’t believe that we can’t afford some of the players that have been available and gone to smaller clubs

Re: Taai : Fri Feb 05, 2021 10:52 pm  

Yeah disappointing to have missed out on Taai. That one forward of the calibre of Taai/Olbison etc will give us one of the best squads since we came down IMO we still have a decent squad though.

It is frustrating but with the unknown in crowds and more importantly the championship likely to get zero funding next year due to SLs bumper TV deal (what a great bit of business it has been the split and putting Elstone in charge BTW) it's more important than ever to be strict on budgets.

Still frustrating though.

I suppose this is exactly the scenario where www.bullssquadbooster.co.uk can support We all seemingly agree that we shouldn’t be breaking the bank but if we want to sign these players who can make a difference this is where we fans can support, if personal circumstances allow I’m on the committee for squad booster so if anyone has any questions please contact me but I urge, if people can and are prepared to, please join and if we get enough members contributing s relatively small, amount (min £5 pm but more can be paid if you want) we can potentially support the club and allow signings such as the ones mentioned Membership is going really well but without stating the obvious when raising money, you can’t have too many members!!!
