Quote ="BigTime"Bit surprised Hopi and Tyler turned down the bright lights but I suspect we’re all pretty relaxed about it.
Silva to Barrow. Don’t know what to say about that. It is what it is, but not signing Whare and Norman is problematic. They were clearly a significant catalyst for our moving from decent Championship side to champions. If we were still in the Championship I think most would feel we had done good, if limited, business in strengthening our squad. If we have bagged some like for like replacements of SL quality I think the club might want to announce that now. Proof of the pudding is in the eating but we look a little undercooked.'"
Thought we might've been in with a shout of bringing Silva back and he would've added something for sure. Teams seem to be back in the pre-season grind now, so you would assume the squads are very close to being settled. Not sure where many more signings would be coming from, unless we have a few up our sleeve as you say.
If the strategy is to wait for Elite 1 players to free up, then we might be disappointed. Doesn't seem to be a massive amount of experienced overseas talent this season. Limoux have the ex-Melbourne prop Schonig, who looks like he's going well and could probably make the adjustment to SL. Other than that it seems slim pickings.
