Quote ="rhinoms"If the eastwood deal had gone through i think it would of been.
That was taken out of our hand's and now we have this squad(for the time being) to support and get behind.
Whatever the reasons this is the hand we have been dealt and despite what many detractor's think there is enough quality imo to retain another championship!
Too many "fans" think we have a god given right to win every match,sign every top player available and jump in to have a dig at GH and co without knowing the FULL details of what's happeneing behind the scene's.
Afterall GH along with caddick have built this club from almost oblivion to where we are now.
They have delivered 3 championship's,1 cup and 5 other finals, a new carnegie stand,graham murray,tony smith and bluey mclennon.
On the playing side we have seen the like's of Harris,Godden,Glanville,carroll,senior,donald,Webb,peacock and buderus to name a few.
All the talent that the acadamy has produced.
I agree there have been disappointment's along the way,i.e lance,clyde,mullins and ben walker to name a few.
Seriously do you honestly think that GH and caddick are doing nothing to keep improving the squad and club????
Let's just wait and see where we are in september,if we have another 2006 so be it bang yer drums and rant away and do the "told you so" post's.
To do that now make's no sense we lost the wcc and the cc match's to the better team on the day it happen's in RL and there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest another forward and another centre would have prevented that.
We still have a good chance of winning the title and i'm sure if the right deal is out there it will be done,afterall weren't the bulls supposed to be signing ellis and saint's or wigan signing Ali??'"
Great post
