Other than Hall it has been horrendous this year.

Lineham - did very little in his few games.
Gaskell - just total crap.
Hood - not good enough to be a starting 9.
Minns - pointless
That bloke from London - anonymous
That army bloke - waste of money
Whitbread - another signing from the championship.

Can not disagree we, have been signing poor players for the last 3 year and we are seeing the results of it.When \if we get our strongest 17 on the park we go ok lose 2 to 3 and we struggle We need a good clear out but we can not afford to do it

I don’t understand how to do this but I’m sick of this guy and the bulge he spouts… how do I block and not see his comments?

Click on the name to see their profile and then click 'add foe'

Done it… suddenly the world seems sunnier

Sorry pt put he is entitled to his opinion

but we like that bloke from london don't we Poptart

rolling eyes just for you

We seem to sign players because they are available not because they are what we need.

I do wonder if there is a plan at times.

but you will see quotes though when someone replies

yes there is to stay within budget

Well I couldn’t last so sorry I’ve broken my own embargo, what a dope I am for ever thinking I could keep my trap shut.

Anyway was talking earlier to a friend of mine who’s is an ex SL player and has coached bit. He’s not Wayne Bennett but he knows more than me or anyone on this forum.

So his opinion on our team.

We have too many players who are really good at training.

Hope I don’t need to explain what he means by that, I think it’s pretty obvious.

will its simple don't select the ones that fail in the game

Train like Tarzan play like Jane

So why waste money on players we don’t need?

Don’t sign players who don’t improve us just because they are available.

Better to save the money and blood our own than bring in the likes of Lineham etc.

personally I think both Gaskill and Lineham are past their sell by date but you can't knock them for experience and past record can only put it down to that and cover for injuries we need a good solid prop and leave Battye for reserve and cover and yes the young ones do have to learn and quick

Sigh*

That’s fine but if you can’t rustle up 17 from the 30 then you’re stuffed.

Correct.

Not wanting to pick on a specific player but Tanginoa is your perfect example.

I've no idea what you are talking about.

Put things into perspective at this present time with the teams I’ve watched only saints would compete n beat Wigan . Wigan are on a roll , we sent a weakened team , any other team in super league sending a scratch squad would end up the same , look at saints at Toulouse for proof , even they came unstuck

true you can only replace them when you can

you just have so while we have Tanginoa named just what has gone wrong with him because he was used to do some barm storming runs and his defense wasn't that bad

I don’t think anyone would deny that but all the same it doesn’t sound like we made much of a fight but the damage was done in Thursday.

I think there’s about 6 players in the First Team Squad that aren’t up to SL standard in my opinion and possibly shouldn’t have been signed….they appear to be merely making up the numbers rather than genuinely competing for positions …..

Money saved from these signings could have led to the signing of a promising prop forward….

Think 6 is the starting number
