Please not Milner.

We have needed a quality 9 for 2 year + to bring Hood in isvery underwhelming for a key positions .Just a swap for K Wood. If the other Wood is the back up ,it does not improve the attacking structure at all.When we lose ,Mr CHESTER say's the opponents spine was the difference .He as had 3+ years to sort the spine out and is still clutching at straws


in

CC spoke about bringing in a 7 that could organise with a good kicking for over a year then signed lino and it was obvious from watching his 5 min highlight reel he isnt this type of player...So there no supprise is there

J C and Ashurst were given a 2 year contract ,but Batchelor who as had a very good season and is still out of contract ,should have been the first to be signed.If they can not reach agreement ,it is a bad move by the club .To me Batch is the nearest we have to replacing Westerman at lose forward

I think Bachelor is the best of the three Legend and although I think there's still plenty of improvement in him, we would be stupid to let him go.Unfortunately Ashurst is well past his best and I think a 1 year deal would have better for the club.Crowther is a tricky one; massive tackler and wholehearted player, but can't seem to get mistakes and pens out of his game and he also worries me with his lack of go forward.

Would also add that if the rumours about Milner are true, then the 2 yr deal for Crowther seems strange.

Would play Brad Walker at loose, good pair of hands and a decent little kicking game.

Adam Milner is going to hull kr,
We nearly signed him but hull kr came in with a bigger offer

No doubt his worth, as judged by some Wakey fans, will now increase. I'll stick with no thanks opinion though.

As long as he ain’t coming here i don’t care. I had heard HKR had pulled out and he was staying at Cas on a reduced deal but we’ll see.

Speaking to Rhino's fans yesterday they seem to think theres some truth in this one.

Given the job our wingers do in a game maybe we should start doing that

Exactly, I’d much rather give Brad Walker a go at 13 if we are keeping him or put Arona back there who did a good job & stop him from flogging his guts out at prop. Maybe sign a new prop, now there’s an idea!

Stop your ludicrous ideas of signing props, when we can play destructive 2nd rowers there!

Sorry really strongly disagree about signing a new prop as we need to sign at least 2 new props

So are the signings that Chester said have signed likely to be joining the club.

Depends if the contract has been signed or not. If it was verbal we may just pay them for the duration of said contract without them having to get out of bed.

Wonder when these 4 quality new signings will turn up. If ever.

Wow. That's a lot of effort to go find this.
But yes, I'd like to see them too.

Been said before ,but is rebuild of a new team started the rot of the team we have got now, We have got 5 players still playing (because of long contracts) who were way past there best when they joined ,And if you put in the season when he wasted all the salary ,for players that were second and third choice players for there team .And was then allowed to waste most of the salary for the season that W Poaching took over you can see why now we have no team and no cash for players .Just brought in old players not young ones

Some of the Chester era signings were just bizarre. If all of the fans could see that Lineham and Gaskell were duff signings why couldn't anyone at the club? I'd have rather taken a punt on some of the academy lads and waited for other players to become available mid-season.

I could go back even further when a certain CEO didn't want a certain player.

Well some time later, that mentioned player is one of our highest earners.

Our 7 overseas signings are the worst ever. Only Whitbread gives us what we want. Tanginoa lost interest as soon as he got a long term deal. Lino isn't the playmaker we thought we were getting. Proctor and Langi are past it. Tofua is bang average and Atoni is stealing a wage

Atoni for me so far is just a total waste of wage and quota spot. His stats are nothing short of a disgrace. He has looked perpetually knackered from game 1 against Catalan with hands on hips after 10 minutes. I never expected us to sign a Paul Vaughn doing 200+ metres a game at what seems a breeze to him, but I’d simply rather of took a chance with a uk Player. We are as a club bottom of the league on metres made, tackle busts, average gain, clean breaks and top of the league in Tackles. Tells you everything you need to know. We are literally getting minimal opportunity’s to score or apply any pressure, Munster and Cleary would struggle behind those stats.

I agree. Atoni is a big disappointment. I hope its just fitness that will improve but its his running game we need. His tackle stats aren't bad but we have loads of tackles.

It's always the same. When we lose heavily people point to the fitness and defense when most of the time for us it is completion rate and field position.
Lino has proved when he has a dominent pack he runs rings round opposition, but he can't do it with a rushing defense on the half way line.

The stats we need to improve are post contact metres especially in the middle and speed and accuracy of pass.

It would be nice if the wingers ran with confidence too but good field position will do that.
