by the looks of this, he is a winger, the caveat to that being, I haven't a clue what's going on, on the pitch.

I dont think Williams has ever given us value for money.

I'm not even slightly bothered by him leaving. He goes down as just another bad decision in the failed 'galactico' recruitment strategy of our club.

Hopefully we will start to move away from that desperate model now.

That's an interesting observation.

Hopefully our galactico strategy is over now and we will stick with the model of signing hungry 'project' players who won't break the bank like Roderick Tai, Dan Russell and Oli Leyland. That's an approach that gets a far warmer reception among Wire fans.

I guess the author was hoping for those players that fit between those polar opposites. But the level of debate on here means we have to have this facile "false dilemma" between galactico and basement, bargain bucket players like you have mentioned.

Plenty of other clubs make sound signings without breaking the bank. One of them is currently top of the league.

Hull KR spend the same money as we do (and have far fewer of their own youth products in the team). Do you think Waerea-Hargreaves is on £25k but came over for the East Hull air?

I don't think we've had a 'galacticos' approach for years. If anything I think we went from a really successful era of recruitment where we picked up players like Ashton and Harrison to more of a bargain basement approach this year which has cost us dearly.

We have 3 marquee players. I wonder how many other clubs have 3. We don't know how much Hull KR spend as the wage bill is different from the salary cap.

Successful period of recruitment? Im not going to list the plethora of poor players we also signed around the time we signed Ashton and Harrison.

Or thane:

King is only 50k on the cap so it makes sense to have him on it (marquee) while he is with us.
