Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"We are not paying the ground maintenance or rent as part of the arrangements, and people can bleat on about some crazy notion that there is no prop alive who we could have got but sorry, its nonsense, a man with wallet and willing could have assembled a functional pack, it didn't need to be the best pack in the world. I'm just sat here watching Sidlow Bailey and Moi Moi that Toronto signed from nowhere in short order, and the rest of their squad.'"
But what about if we don't have the wallet? I'm sure you'll moan as much as anyone if we go pop again. Toronto dwarf us in financial backing and Hull KR is a much more attractive club than us. The players you mentioned are at the end of their careers and would rightly choose more money beating teams 80+than coming to us for a tough campaign. Also remember Sidlow has endured 2 admins and no payments with us. That probably made his decision for him.
there are things at the moment that frustrate me. The appalling press releases, the debacle with Chisholm (Us probably being naive enough to fall into the Sheffield trap) But in terms of signings we're massively behind the eight ball in terms of visas, where we are in the table, finances and our gutter reputation. I said at the beginning of the season players probably won't be available until after Easter. I expect there to be some movement in the next 2 months.
