I've seen this bit of spin creeping in a few times recently. Makes it sound like a mass recruitment drive, when in actual fact 6 of them were kids, of whom 3 never even looked like getting a game. Wholesale changes is not how I'd describe it.

We must have a chunk of cap left.

Gone from the start of last season and must have been included in the live cap (we brought no one in after raynor and king left)

raynor
king
cusack
hall
tuffour
calderwood
dowes?

In

sharp

I know we've upped the deals for manu, and tickle but they can't have been increased that much, radford has taken a cut and I don't see that we will have offered yeaman an increased deal (I'd like to think it would have been reduced but I doubt it)

So we must have enough to bring in 3 decent quality players IMO

We upgraded Houghton and Whiting also and had McShane on loan briefly. Not sure it's fair to include Tuffour on the out list and exclude academy promotions from the in list. Reckon Tickle's upgrade will have been significant. The other thing we don't know is whether there's any front/back loading on contracts, ie players on 3 year deals don't get the same each year. Never heard it rumoured with reference to our players, but it has been mentioned at others.

Got til the end of December to buy pass,and don't intend buying one at the moment with no new signings.Will make my mind up when Thurston and Slater announce they only signed because of Agars Reputation.

he said on blunderside that he hopes to bring in 2 forwards and halfback cover.whether one of the proposed forwards remains dowes?????.he has been offered a reduced deal i believe,which is why he initially turned it down,but there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in him does there??bradford were mentioned before,but then they signed hargreaves.

Reckon it will of been as his previous contract will of been based on playing for his country.

Agar also mentioned on Humberside that the board and himself were also quietly confident with the existing squad that they have at present to do a job next year in super league and that they also realise that the decent players have already been signed by other clubs, i would say tryin to dig yourself out of a hole before the season starts springs to mind, i really cant see them signing anyone or if they do will be players no one has heard of just to say see we said we were gonna sign another 3 players.. Can see a lot of unhappy fc fans next year..
