After reading whats happening with regarding other teams for next season on the recruitment front its seems we are light years behind.

Firstly I know we don't have the finances to compete for the bigger NRL names but how can a team like Salford sign a player like Luke Patten before the likes of ourselves?

Surely we are a bigger club and a bigger pull for a player overseas with our background/heritage etc.

Its time the club looked forward and gave us all something to be positive about for next season with a top signing,We obviously had some funds to bring Shane Tronc over who must have been on a fair wage as he made the Queensland origin train-on squad on a couple of seasons ago.

Time for a clear out of sub standard Aussies and 2nd rate project players before we all get too fed-up and not even consider season tickets for next season or buying a new shirt.

We need a quality fullback which Luke Patten is an A1 player and will stand out next season(I'd even would have pulled out the stops to get Ritchie Mathers),Loose Forward and a stand-off that doesn't go hiding when things go bad.

Rant over!

Blythe has looked ok but hasn't played much if at all in super league this season and i think he has been on loan at Leigh, he could be a replacement for Kirmond.

Agree, looked very handy when playing for Wire last year - but seems to be out of favour.

What's more frustrating is the fact that the players are out there - and available. Look at Wigan for example, they have loaned out 1 centre to Hull KR and he is scoring tries for fun and they also loaned out Stefan Marsh who looked outstanding to me in the 1 game (fair enough, only 1) game I saw him play - and he went and looked rock solid for Widnes last week. Those 2 would have sured up the 3/4 no end, pushing Murphy back to FB and making Millard realise he isn't here for a paid holiday.

As has been said, Luke Patten to Salford (with the greatest respect they can only be a similar sort of "pull" as we are) - so we are going to be even further behind next year unless we pull something out of the bag.

need 2 decent centres a SH 2 2nd row and a loose forward something we have not had in years

What do we want centres' for we never pass to them anyway. Millard touches the ball 3 or 4 times a game if he's lucky and half of those is from play the ball.

Agree with murphy at fullback.. think he cud make that is own for years to come, thats if no one takes him of us...
