not worth it for 2 years

Let's be honest, we've only signed him because he'll be one of mylers mates. Garbage and past it now so will be even worse In 2 years. Waste of a shirt but just the latest in a long line of those. I presume he'll have sorted a lift to training out

I think we've signed Holmes to drive him to training.

It’s a hell of a winners haul by him….think his off-field antics have now overshadowed what a player he was/could be…personally wouldn’t have touched him with bargepole but he is here now and let’s see how he goes for us before we really stick the boot in

Can’t say I’m over enthralled with the signing of Hardaker but as has been said it is what it is. I only hope that he has been signed as a squad player as opposed to being seen as regular starter.

Hopefully he behaves on or more so off the pitch.

I appreciate recruitment isn’t complete yet and we are shopping in the reduced section of the market currently but do feel a little underwhelmed so far.

Although we knew he had signed, and i'll always support and get behind any signing we make but i can't with this guy. Not just a loose cannon off the pitch but he's not even good on it anymore.
A very poor signing by the club.

The final potential 2 quota spots are doing some serious heavy lifting here. People won’t admit it but the hinting of investment has clouded peoples minds. Go back 3 months before the Pearson interview if we announced these signings people would have lost their minds. Now they’ve conditioned themselves to believe that these are only squad players and we’ll suddenly announce a load of top drawer players because we’ve got an investor that’s going to throw money away without wanting a return. Not going to happen IMO.

Don’t get me wrong a couple of really good signings changes the landscape but I’m skeptical. If it’s Lafai 33 on a 2 year deal or even 3 and a reserve grade Aussie I don’t think it’s enough, and the wage bill will be the same if not lower then this year.

Probably right. Hope we’re all wrong!

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue Jul 09, 2024 8:47 am  

I understand that we have two remaining quota places left. Please correct me if I'm wrong. One will be used for a full back and the other I'm guessing will be a centre.

For me I'd be very satisfied with Sailor and Lafai/Leutele. Any players of lesser quality would be disappointing as I find some of the players already signed pretty underwhelming.

What are your realistic hopes and expectations?
