I think i am getting my memories jumbled up. I think last season was when Hill declared the players need to take a long look at themselves.

I've given up now, i'll take whatever we get. It's gonna be a chance Prop now, we'll sign an unknown Prop who has Potential and hope he can do something special but that hasn't worked out for 4-5 years so i don't care anymore.

Re: Rumours 2 : Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:33 am  
We've collectively moaned for the last few seasons about a lack of half-backs. We now have two marquee signings in Austin and Widdop. Austin has demonstrated a commitment to making a go of it in the UK and we've seen what he is capable of over here. We know what Widdop can do, the risk is around his age / injury record.

Having used up our two marquee spots we now have to compete on the open market, within the limits of the salary cap, against NRL and SL clubs some of whom have not filled both their marquee slots. It doesn't matter how much money our benefactors are prepared to put into the club, we are limited by the cap and we are likely to be some way down the batting order.

As things stand we need Akauola to step up in 2020.

Moaning or not, I believe our pack is in need of a Prop or two. We've been back row heavy for a while now, and we are where we are because of some poor recruiting.

Take SHW's point with the salary cap, hence we cannot attract a prop with what we have left. However, we've had too many back rows on the books which hasn't helped in the last couple of years.

It's perfectly reasonable to discuss our attempts and failures to land a decent forward under a thread called "Rumours".

Two stellar half backs getting pummelled because our forwards are on the back foot won't achieve anything.

We need someone who helps give us momentum, a fast ptb and room for Widdop, Austin, Ratchford and Currie to do tbe damage.
