Who have you signed so far then for 2012? Talaupapa, Hodgson, O'Hara & Horne, any others?

You can't be happy with that surely?

You'll have a fair bit of cap space left, how many quota/non-fed places do you have available?

With a lack of decent OOC players, who do you think you'll realistically bring in?

Hodgson and O'Hara are stronger players then the ones they are replacing (Fox/Colbon and Vella) and their combined wages will be alot less then the players who have left. Horne adds depth to the squad and although the jury is still out on Taulapapa, I think he could turn out to be a very shrewd bit of business and make a bit of an impact next season. He has a bit of x-factor and aggression about him which we lack at times imo. So all in all pretty happy... SO FAR......

I could join in this pointless squabble about players who have yet to perform in this fair city, but I don't think I will bother. Lets face it, the likes of Dobson and Green have proven that previous doesn't count for a lot, Green in particular was seen as a never-has-been who was on par with Chaz I'Anson by some prior to his arrival. Similarly, I'm sure the lesser known lights bound for Hull and Rovers in 2012 will all come with points to prove.

Lets hope Missingtacklespapa (I thought I'd get it in before Hutchie turns up!) is a shrewd signing.

Agree mate,must cheer new signings up no end being mullered before they even get here.
