Got stuck in against us in the friendly last year/year before, but looked as close to SL fitness as Jarrad Hickey, perhaps less so.

Let's get real - we just don't have the budget and there seem to be limited options for off-loading, so we'll have to run with what we have!

Of the three names that were doing the rounds this time last week two have signed elsewhere and only Kirke remains. Thing is he doesn't want to leave leeds! Leaves us short if the injuries strike. Wonder if Ben Gledhill fancies escaping the mess at Salford and returning?

Just shows why we need anybody that can afford to and hasn't signed up for a membership, or got the shirts & other merchandise to do so. AG is right not to pay more than we can afford like others clubs may do so we have to try and raise the funds ourselves.

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.

RA uses Agarmetrics, the RL equivalent of the 'Moneyball' technique - they'll all be at it after we've done the double in 2013!

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.

Which is better than the moneyshot technique which has a very different but equally very happy ending, depending on which side of said moneyshot you are at of course!!! :wink:

I personally would have liked to have seen Matt James kept on until we at least had a sure fire replacement. Maybe we are watching the Salford situation?
