Re: 4 signings for next year : Fri Jul 22, 2011 1:20 pm
Hopefully, MP will have seen enough of the current squad to make decisions on where we have to strengthen by the time it's time to act. It's a shame he couldn't have come over a few games sooner. In terms of the present squad, I think Cashmere is a big loss and it will be difficult to find a better replacement. We do NOT need another winger. We definately DO need a Centre. Feka has shown signs of improvement towards the end of the season and under stronger management and coaching he may well yet prove to be a good signing. Regarding Anderson, I've seen many players have a poorish first season and then have storming second and third seasons. I hope this is going to be the case with him.
I hope Ratchford stays, but at the end of the day he's an out an out 6 in my book and for whatever reason he can't impose himself in this position with us now, so in those terms I don't think he'd be that hard to replace. If he does go to Wigan or Warrington, I can't see him being anything other than a 'benchwarmer'.
As others have said, I'd rather see us sign two or three younger players with potential rather than take a big money gamble on a 'superstar' signing, especially one who's at the latter end of his career.
