We seem to be signing fringe players from the Championship like Spencer, Gee and Purtell. Leigh have shown that you must sign Super League/NRL quality to compete in the middle 8s

If Leigh had lost against Salford,I'm sure your post would been different.I will say though your recruitment is lacking for 2017.

Are you trolling??

Hard to recruit players if you don't know what league you're gonna be in!

Tom Spencer & Dalton Grant are good signings imo.
And it's not even September!

Not sure I agree...5 more minutes and we could have beaten Leigh... these players could still play Super League...Jay Pitts , Purtell, Tom Spencer.... dalton Grant is a proven finisher i hear also Danny Craven...if we sign an NRL prop and a centre and we will look pretty good for 2017

And if we are keeping Jamie Soward.

Soward ??? Doubt it.

Leeds to join up with his mate James segeyaro

Dalton Grant is a very good winger, someone I'd hoped we might go for at Bradford.
Purtell isn't a fringe player btw, he's our captain! Having said that, I actually don't rate the guy. He's getting on a bit now, takes up a quota spot and also isn't a very good centre.

However if you've signed Pitts from us as well, which I think you have, then you've got a very good player there and one I am sad to see go.

What's all this one in one out nonsense with Bradford? They are a poor side currently playing in a relegation league

Re: Disappointing Recruitment so far : Sun Aug 21, 2016 7:42 pm  

With Sheffield being in severe trouble financially, with a good chance of having to fold. Are there any of their players we would be interested in?
Obviously Hendo knows the club and will know most of their team. As we seem to be only looking at Championship players, have any Sheffield players impressed?
