some official news www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/25712921
I cringe at TR's public pronouncements most of the time. So I enjoyed this one:
Quote "As far as recruitment, we're the strongest players in the market at this unusually late time"'"
"this unusually late time"? As in, when most clubs are over halfway through pre-season, having settled on their 25-man squads before Christmas?
I get that he wants to be positive. Good for him. But please, don't treat us like idiots. You're cobbling together a team of vastly inexperienced players at the last minute - you don't have any competition in this regard because they're isn't any.

He was waiting for an all clear with regards to spending money on players for a while due to the uncertainty on our future etc. He missed out on a few rectuits as a result. Hence this unusually late time comment.

A situation he is at least partially responsible for, by not getting anywhere near good enough results to see us sustain any kind of crowd following.

Spot on. We may put a squad together that can win a few games, but that says more about the standard of the bottom end of SL than it does about us.
If 1 first-grader misses a week of pre-season in the NRL they see it as a major issue. The majority of our squad haven't even had a full pre-season.

I would imagine the loanees and the imports from down under have and i suspect they will fill most of the 1st team spots as we have a lot of inexperienced youngsters who wil only get the odd game this season.

| Agreed T.C. Its not perfect for sure and we are up against it but if these guys roll there sleeves up and give it their best shot to show they can make a career of this we may win a few games and surprise people. There may be a couple of players to come who will put a smile on our faces still.

"Its all rubbish we are getting the scraps, the blokes are gonna get battered everyweek, its going to be poop!"
Come on boys and girls he has to put a the positive spin on the situation, he can leave all the negative stuff to the doom mongerers on here.

He can say he's optimistic for the season. He can say he's happy with who we've signed.
What I object to is someone insulting my intelligence by bragging about the strong barganing position we supposedly have now in the transfer market. It's cobblers, of the highest order.

| Duckworth is 6'1'' and 94kg so could play at Centre if he has the ball skills.

Why would we play an out and out winger at centre if the other 2 on loan from Leeds play there?? :S

| I like the odd bit of good news, however small, so here's one from twitter:
Quote Dewsbury Rams @DewsburyRams 1h
We are delighted to announce the signing of 24 year old Shane Grady from Super League club London Broncos!
'"
Good luck to him. Rob Powell must have told them he was a centre though.
