agree st helens and warringtin have already strengthened their squads and we are keeping same old same old so what chance have we against them.

That is fine if it gets us to the top 8 in my eyes though,

Sorry guys but we need something in new in the attacking department a new 7 and 6 in my books.

....And where do we get them from bearing in mind how much below the salary cap we are due to finance????

A lucky bag or never never land???
Get a grip.
I do wonder about some posters on here.

Miller & rocky haven’t played that many games together for me to come to the conclusion that they won’t make a good partnership.yes we need cover in the half’s but what we need is a settled team ,instead of days gone by when we were swapping shed loads of players every campaign .

To me the marquee rule should be for British players only not signing a Barba or any other Aussie here due to issues with the NRL.

It is staggeringly amazing that our club has managed again to finish in the top 8. Have a look at the clubs in the Top 8, they all have at least double the number of home fans / season ticket holders, several have 10 x the number of season ticket holder. Most have Chairmen that plough 100 of thousands of £ `s in to cover the loses, recently reported that Lenegan at Wigan ( or his company ) have loaned £ 6 million to the club, Davey at Huddersfield is £ 10 million down. So how the hell do people think we can compete, these clubs can afford to pick up youngsters at 16 pay them £ 20,000 plus for 4 or 5 years ie invest 100 grand, just to see if these players make it. What MC and his colleagues have achieved is nothing short of a miracle. We need 5000 season ticket holders, a new ground to compete for a top 4 spot. Its only going to get harder unless the people of Wakefield wake up, Hull KR have one of the top coaches in the World plus 7,500 home fans ( we have 2,500 at best ) they will get stronger. Leeds will not fail to get in top 8`s next season, if Toronto come up they will spend big time. Thank the Lord for MC and his team for somehow achieving the impossible.

For a poster normally fond of hyperbole, this is a welcome dose of reality.
