Ross stating the obvious....... or stoking the fire?

Re: Recruitment & Retention Latest : Thu Mar 31, 2016 8:21 am  

Part of me reads that article and thinks that Ross is essentially voicing in the paper what the fans are saying. Perhaps getting it out there to people who don't frequent social media or internet forums.

Another part of me reads parts of it and wonders if Ferres has been on the blower to him to put something out that casually tells fans they are trying to bring some players in and they understand the frustrations. Or maybe someone other than Ferres, as I'm not sure he understands the supporters at all.

Perhaps it's a mix of both.

A fairly accurate article in my opinion. The RFL not selling the lease is interesting, i thought Green said it was almost a done deal and just needed legalities sorting?

Not inaccurate. One of the legalities is that it doesn't belong to him.

Curious they won't sell though. Provided they're making money from the deal I don't see what the issue would be.

The point about the mood changing very quickly is a good one.

How different the mood would be if we ran 40+ in against Sheffield, announce the re-signing of some of our key players and the we'd secured Bosc for the rest of the season with an option to extend; all with in the next week.

That's sport I suppose and we will all continue to live in hope...

Not my mood. Sure - in April, we just need "a scrum half, a fullback, and a centre". What great master planning that was.

Just makes the decision to release Ulugia even more ridiculous.

Exactly and why sign Mathers if we still need to sign a full back?

The article just confirms that SF's recruiting has been pants
