I see this weeks league express has sammut nailed on for Workington and we sign a unproven Queensland cup player aged 25. He openly admits to being a general running team around the field which roughly equates to nil attacking flair and will see crowd moaning after say 3 games with his lack of breaking the line. Afraid this shows to me the lack of financial strength behind the club and no chance of promotion and not sure going forward of full time survival

Glad to see us putting players down before even seeing them play. What's with the insane amount of negativity from our supporters of late? I'm half expecting a Jones town type scenario at the next home game.

I'm surprised it's taken you this long to realise the financial difficulties the club are facing are very much real. Whilst Marc Green continues to take out more than he puts in, we are doomed to failure.

Season ticket sales won't hit 2500, let alone the ridiculous figure of 5000. This putting more pressure on Parker and Hunter Paul, who have already got to find an extra £300,000 shortfall via increased sponsorship sales.

Worrying times. Hopefully the players wages for December are paid on time.

It's more realistic concern than insane negativity. Marc Green and the club need to realise that supporter morale is at an all time low.

i wouldn't say all time low. When the club was moving between owners like a game of pass the parcel, that was probably a worse time than this.
As it stands, the club, despite what certain people on here who seem to think that having their user name as that of a previous director means any of the garbage they spew is automatically insider knowledge, is not in a bad way.

I don't believe that the crowds will be substantially down in the coming season on what they were this year, this is because the club is now down to the barebones of support.

The team is, bar a couple of players, the same one that made the MPG and of those players missing going into next year, well they spent a great deal of this year missing too and we didn't do too badly.

As for turning noses up at the new half back we have on trial before anyone here has even seen him play is stupidity of the highest order.

Re: Jarrod Sanmut : Wed Dec 23, 2015 8:00 am  

I aren't turning my nose up at him, just saying organizing scrum halls are often not appreciated. I will support the new scrum half just saying I think in our position we need a proven player at a minimum champ level, preferably with super league experience or potential. Scrum half must be one of the most important positions in the team as we saw last year and I don't think we are in a position to take a gamble

Perhaps not appreciated by some, but I would say those who understand the game a bit better realise that it's exactly what our team lacks. Addy did a good job of it last year, but a specialist at organising from the halves is exactly what we need. Whether Jacks is up to it or not, time will tell. I for one am willing to wait and see, as it's all fine and dandy saying we need a proven or top quality player, but you can only sign what's available.

Re: Jarrod Sanmut : Wed Dec 23, 2015 8:41 am  

Well I share the frustration that we haven't signed a halfback with a proven track record. It was clear that it's an area of weakness and I genuinely expected we had made plans and would address it for 2016. Instead it appears we have recruited two inexperienced players and Mullaney and Siejka have gone. Now I'm usually fairly optimistic but how can that be seen as an improvement right now?

Welham aside, it feels like we're very much building a solid Championship side rather than one trying to compete with SL clubs.
