Are we getting any???

no

Snitch and jackson, thats ya lot folks.

It's not been ruled out.

Yes, but don't think you'll find out about it until the club decide.

all that i've read is that mattersons lookin to signin one more player whos "high calibre" (his words not mine) and can step straight into our startin lineup. Not holdin my breath though

Be resigning Feather

I have heard this too from a pretty good source. Who its going to be? I don't have a bloody clue.

Could have knocked me down with a feather!

glad to know i'm not the only one who's heard it but i wouldn't care to take a guess who it will be...i'll only end up disappointed and sittin on my sofa in the foetal position drinkin JD from the bottle

(i await to be proven wrong

)

I've been told we are after another prop.

heard that as well, although i would much rather see a better winger (no offence to mad mick)

I hear RW has been practicing forging Sam Burgess' sinature all week.

well we have owen, and dixon there as first choice who are both proven try scorers with thompson and snowie in reserve so i think we have more than enough cover there. persoanlly i wanted to see another half more than any other position.

I'm thinkin in the sense that we'd play owen at FB as i was really impressed with him there, but half back wud be nice too.

What youngsters are going to be promoted into the first team then.

He has initials not dis-similar to John Kear's.

if they were as keen to sign a decent player or two, instead of signing all the marketing people etc, it would be nice. its the same old carry on, have it rammed down our throats about season tickets, only so much time left to get this, that, and the other, just chasing our money all the time, and giving us very little in return. we are just kept in the dark all the time about things and get sick of it. no season ticket for me, mr wright.

Without season tickets etc there wouldn't be any signings, it's as simple as that.

so we have resigned Ryan Clayton on the back of our season ticket sales, my god were up for some bumper crowds then arnt we, season tickets arnt the be all and end all for signings ambition is a part aswell and Cas arnt showing any we have yes a squad that wont need as much time to gel as the majority have played a season or two together. But we have made no real significant signings that actually make the squad much stronger than we had last year, infact i feel our squad is weaker on a player count alone. The season will bring what the season brings and we will have to deal with it ,but anyone who thinks we can surpass last seasons position is very very optomistic.

Even if we do people will still whinge.

IMO, we massively over-achieved last year, setting us up for a fall this year, I hope we can match last year, and I'll be delighted if we make the play-offs again

Agree with that. The fact that Warrington, Hull and Bradford were poor allowed us to gain a couple of places in 2009.

Play-offs in 2010 would be a great result for us.

Im getting Da ja vous.

1999 we did well - then recruited nobodies

Same story this season - they'll never learn, just keep taking the =bluemickey out of the fans.

We need a strike centre,
A Winger with real pace - Owen needs to be the regular fullback, he has all the attributes of potentially being England's next FB
Another big hard hitting Prop - Sarge gets injured were in trouble
A stand off. Neither Chase or Primadonna McGoldrick are Standoff's

Jackson - average - couldnt bust an egg yolk nevermind a tackle.
Snitch has promise of consistancy and high work ethic
Clayton - making up numbers

We all have our own opinion - Making excuses isnt acceptable anymore.

All the so called bigger clubs who we finished higher than have gone out and recruited quality - we alas have done the usual.

=blueEdited - Bonzo

Can't argue too much either. Certainly we did a great job of capitalising on the poor seasons that a few other team's had. 2009 proved that anything can happen in Super League and that overall the competition is pretty even.

One thing we have to our advantage in 2010 that we didn't in 2009 is consistency - a very low turnover of personnel in the squad. In fact the main changes we're seeing are in roles to support the coaching staff, which can only be of benefit in both short and long term. As a settled and established squad, with a few additions and good team work ethic, we may just see the improvement and development of consistency required to allow us to compete for the playoffs again.

Additions to any team need to be of quality, not mediocre at best. (Snitch aside)

Receiving heavy Thumpings need to stop too.
