If I keep the negativity up at least they can't get any more dissapointing, can they????

The thing is I am not being positive, I am being realistic.

Long was not released as you stated and Luauki can help to get a team on the front foot as that is part of his job as an impact prop. Tansey is a very skillful young player who has never had the chance to make a position his own until this season and he has done exactly that at Sydney.

We could do with another prop and if we do get Kite we would have a superb looking pack. We could also do with a centre with both Atkins and Turner being linked.

The four players we have signed would all walk straight into our side at the moment . Great signings imo and if we can add a couple more then I for one will be very happy.

Would that be an A grade license?

3 actually

It's actually 2 if you add Turner to the list of who has already signed.

I really hope we don't get Azuie. On his day he does offer good good impact but is far too error prone for me. Too many dropped balls, missed tackles and penalties, plus his age goes against him. Would rather continue with Moa.

I'd rather stick with leaving maloney on the bench for 70 minutes tahn sign aizue. The dobbins are hardly blessed in the prop department so if they're getting rid it says everything you need to know about him

The clubs most recent signings are:

Luauki
Fitzgibbon
Long
Tansey

all for me represent very good signings. If we sign two more of an equal ilk, i will be quite happy.

My apologies to all for being rosy and possitive.

Long aand fitzgibbon were top drawer players in their prime but both are far off their prime. Everyone is bigging up lauaki and hardly anyone has seen him play. He'll end up like manu - given the ball standing still and expected to perform miracles. tansey is a decent young player but the fact leeds have sold him for £30k shows how good he really is in the grand scheme of things.

You forgot to add in radford and cusack

I'll make a prediction here - doesn't matter who we sign, we'll still be shiite next season with agar in charge

Have'nt got a clue who the other two are but i understand we're after a prop and a fullback or centre.
