It depends on how significant the investment is and the fact we are not the most attractive club to sign for at the moment.

More really attractive modern design shirts will do the trick

Or read the bulldogs Kennel forum!

There was a strange quote from Okunbor at the time of his signing

"The club have followed me for a while, and my agent also used to play for the club in the past. I’ve spoken to James Clark at Hull who has been following me since I made my debut, which is pretty crazy."

We need another another super hero shirt like the one we played in at Magic a few years ago. Result didn't go our way I seem to remember. Egg on face springs to mind

Is it O'Meley?

It's frightening that James Clark had any involvement in our recruitment. I don't know him and he might be a nice chap but salary cap management is not his forte.

Whilst we're touching on the subject of identity, why are we the only club in Super League who's nickname doesn't get used by Sky Sports pundits and commentators?

Along with Rovers, I think we are the only two teams in the comp' who stuck with our traditional nicknames, yet Sky whilst happy referring to 'the Robins', generally call us the 'black and whites' if not using the club's official title. It's not acceptable! I'm going to write a letter!

Not sure unless it's that most other clubs nicknames have been introduced in the SL era. Airlie Birds is a great traditional nickname but not really trendy enough to be used on TV.

Call me old fashioned but I still prefer to use traditional nicknames like Warrington "Wire", Leeds "Loiners" and Rovers "W nkers" for examples.
