It looks as tho were signing these players as squad players but CC & fans are saying to progress further we need to sign someone who can turn games, it does look to me as tho were quite happy to finish 5th & win the odd big game shame really to stand still like the last 2 seasons I thought we should have been buying a couple of top players for that extra push for the top & to bring in more people through the trurnstyles the three we've got are not going to inspire the floaters. Just my opinion.

Do we need a couple of thousand more people through the turnstiles to pay for top players.

slowly slowly catchy monkey

its the only way we can do it

it means you have to have the right people pulling the strings and not some experimental tool who'll spend big on names and when that fails, flog em on for peanuts or "mutually terminate contracts" and spend big the next season.
we can neither afford to spend big nor experiment with minor names, it has to be a good fit from the off and value for money.

list the players likely to turn us in to top 4, that -
A. we can afford
B. are available
C. are a good fit and are low risk of a complete washout

I don't actually mind Renolds, he has a bit of something about him, potential to be more than just a squad player..

Apart from the cost of bringing these top players in, where are these top players coming from?

Thank F*** for that!

I'd happily take 5th next year, as long as we're not too far away from those above and again playing a good brand of RL because we'll be in the playoffs and hopefully get in those semis and finals.

Just to add to that, even harder when you've already got your overseas signed up as well. We've basically only got a choice of a small group of British SL players, like all the other SL teams, who are also looking.

I think because we've only really lost Finn from the team, signing the likes of Kopscak, Renoylds, and King, as well as getting the deal with Rocky done, it's been a good bit of business by the club this offseason imo. It just makes our already strong squad that bit stronger, with all 3 competing for starting places, not just squad fillers.

its what we needed another option in the hallfs well done to the club.

Re: Reynolds : Thu Oct 25, 2018 8:05 am  

I really like this signing - especially if it puts the Brough rumours to bed.

Reynolds is already experienced in SL, and looks to have loads of potential to improve - I think he'll do really well for us.
