Or maybe Richard Agar has fixed and specific attributes in mind and would rather wait than just recruit what's out there. My older brother Neil was very good at understanding what his team needed in order to become greater than the sum of its parts, sometimes a seemingly lesser player actualy adds more to the team than a big name.
It's worth remembering that RAs playing career was at its peak whilest under Neil at both Dewsbury and Widnes, maybe he picked up the same philosophy.
Could be right Rich - in fact I have no doubt that RA knows what he would like and the style of player he needs, but I strongly suspect that the club are finding it difficult to meet his needs at this point. I also think RA is realistic enough not to get huffy about this and will both accept the situation and work with the club to try and move things around.
I think signing Reece Lyn on a 3 year deal shows that RA is looking at the quality of the player and not the level of the reputation and I think the current squad shows that we are very clever at getting good VfM out of what we spend but, ATEOTD, we only have so much to spend and I reckon we're about at our level now.
