We've lost Gareth Hock.

Might lose Bailey.

Have lost Flanagan.

And we're signing nobody.

So instead of strengthening the front row we have in fact gone weaker.

Excellent

Its dissapointing but there's nobody available anymore.

We won't win anything until the recruitment is right. If we would have got the recruitment right for this season we could of challenged this year.

We've not got the recruitment for next year right so far either and if we go with the squad we have at the moment I doubt we'll challenge again.

Is Scott Logan still off contract at the end of the season? Would be good to see him back.

Has come here twice and gone back straight away.

No chance.

We're due some good news I feel in terms of recruitment.

At the moment it seems quite obvious we have no-one lined up any time soon.

We need something to change, otherwise myself and I am sure many other fans will be left disappointed.

Well get ready to be disappointed, because Lenegans already signaled that it's very unlikely we'll sign anyone for 2010, however he say's if we were to sign someone they would have to be of the highest quality, yet on the other hand he claims we have little money left under the salary cap. Mixed messages are all I'm getting and ones that signal to me no one is coming in for 2010.

Just read an article that stated Ben Cohen is moving back to England to play for Sale Sharks, also two years ago he was eyeing up a move to Wigan, I really to believe he would have been immense was this ever a likely transfer or was it just paper talk?

Never rated him as a Union player so he certainly wouldn't be worth the money we would have to pay. Massively over-rated even by the standards of English RU players.

Welsh Lion Andy Powell (who was "linked" with us by his agent and bank manager last year) said this week he would still love to try League at the end of his present contract (he will be 31 by then)

Powell would make a top prop in league.
