New Signings : Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:40 am  

We have re-signed some good players and some of the young players and Harry Kidd which is great - some promising talent for the future - but do we need more than that if we are going to compete? These big 'watch this space new signing imminent' are a bit of a wet weekend TBH.

Are we going to sign someone anyone that puts down a marker and a statement of intent for 2018???

Think we all suffer the same frustration but it has been reported that Kidd may be the only incoming permanent signing.Think we'll see much more use of DR with our agreement with Cas now confirmed.

we only signed Grady last season and we made the four. Not necessarily a bad thing to only have minor squad changes

Not through lack of trying. We did try and sign Swinton winger who went to Fev. All comes down to finance and players wages. The Super League cast offs demand bigger paycheck. I believe that we are better developing our own as Richard Marshall is doing. DR with Cas when we need it.

We scraped in by the skin of our teeth. Our ability to get over the whitewash was very evident all season, this didn't change all season so if bringing in just one new prop to replace Mitch is it then it will be very tough to get into the 4, especially with Toronto coming into the mix as well.

We do not want to be relying on DR, nice to have yes but we want our own lads earning the win bonus and wearing the shirt with pride!.

Fair point if you have enough existing quality..the other player we signed last season that you've unsurprisingly forgotten rather backs up your point.

Re: New Signings : Tue Oct 24, 2017 1:07 pm  

seems to be completely up in the air with signings at the minute. Maybe with the 'buy a season ticket to increase playing budget' scheme, we will see signings......just not yet?
