So just over a week till the deadline and all we have is Crowther and yet Wakefield and Castleford are making loads of signings hmm.

Whatever our recruitment policy is, we need a replacement for it.

Would you have wanted any of the Cas signings?

That’s not my point.

Blimey. I keep clicking on this link hoping something's going to happen. Loads of false alarms, rumours etc. but still we need some troops & the deadline looms.

Other than a possibility of Mikaele I can’t see anyone else coming in. Having said that with the majority of our squad fit that should be more than enough to finish top 6. But looking at every teams results so far this has been a basket case of a season and probably only Catalans and Leigh fans are really happy with their season so far.

I misunderstood as well, what was your point? (Not being snarky).

Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:15 pm  

We are fit at the moment. But I'd love some real competition for places & injuries/suspensions will start again as soon as we play again.
As for fans being happy ... it's all linked to expectation. Saints/Wigan/Wire expectations high & therefore miserable now. Leigh over the moon as they hadn't a clue how they'd go. Catalans who knows.

I see now Wigan are cash rich they’ve splashed out a transfer fee on signing Dupree with immediate effect. Harvie Hill couldn’t get off the bench on Sunday (during a defeat) and now this? Imagine the feeling of alienation? I’ll await the cobblers explaining how this is different to what they constantly accuse us of.

I think I can explain this quite simply. Generally in RL if my team does something it is great, but if your team does it it is pooh. If you apply that test it generally works. (applies to sub sets of a team’s supporters as well).
