I'm not sure that's actually possible. Have you seen our injury list, for example?

I honestly don't care about seeing an understrength side lose if they go down fighting and try and play some entertaining stuff. What I can't stomach is half assed performances where there is obviously no real game plan and no effort to try and entertain the fans

| Quote ="Mrs Barista"Totally agree. When I saw the team sheet I thought we were in for a right thrashing. Houghton, Lee and Hodgson FFS. Missing 10 players and picking up more injuries during the game yet got within 2 points. Having said that the second half was poor from us. Forwards just couldn't make any metres and the kicking game was dire. If we'd had Tony, Raynor,Berrigan, Lauaki and Manu in for Thorman, Broughton, Hodgson, Lee and Burnett, we might just have narrowed the massive 2 point gulf between the 2 sides.

| Quote ="pmarrow"The thing is aslong as there is fans through the turnstyles and money in the tills for merchandise they won't give two hoots whether we win or lose. They'll sign a big name from Aus to keep tongues wagging, maybe sack a coach to give fans a little bit of renewed hope but then replace that coach with even worse.
I used to think I'd always go to FC matches but I can't support that, not at over £20 to watch the worst rugby I've ever seen from an FC side. Everything about matchday is now painful, theres no optimism amongst fans, the atmospheres are terrible and most weeks you ended up ranting the same old stuff.
Sure we don't have to follow FC, thats something the club should remember. About time they respected the fans, without us they is no club.'"
JJB has to be the best ground in SL, The Rovers have the Indian sign over Wigan and it's only 16 pounds to watch. 23 quid who's ripping whom off , that's as much as the Tigers and they are really in the Premier League.

So because you've won a few games there and it's cheaper to get in then it's a better stadium? Who says all rovers fans are stupid?

Who is ripping who off indeed.

| You do need a couple of quality props and a quality backrower (I'm honestly not sure that Fitzgibbons still 'got it' after seeing him a few times this year).
We have won a few games this season now with one of the worst Wire backlines I can remember for a while simply because imo our forwards are top notch.
Its such a forward dominated game, a very good pack should take you a long way..having said that, look at Bradford..

| 1st half we were good and should have been further in front. Second half Briers was superb and dictated the game, the difference was they had a SH and we never.

Was there much else on offer though? And Thorman's always being a pretty solid HB previously, now he's being poo.

If the money is right, I would imagine the answer would be 'yes', do you know there weren't any others on offer?

Nope, just asssuming. Some people have mentioned Deacon, Robinson as possible transfer targets but how often do you see people pay a transer fee for people in Rugby league? Also, Deacon has being poor this year.
No one will have left their club and come to us for just a one year deal. If we sign a TOP SH for next year then I don't think the Thorman signing will have being such a bad one.

Wigan have done a few times over the last few years Gleeson, Fielden and Tickle. Warrington again for Gleeson,.
if its for a pplayer you really need then you have to steal a march on the other teams by preparing to do this.
Also shows an intent from the club that they are willing to address a problem too

The only player I'd say would be worth paying a transfer fee for would be a top SH to come in this season. Since they're rare as hens teeth in SL I find it hard to believe that any club would be willing to release one. We might have more luck in the NRL, but the visa clearance would scupper any chance of a player coming in before next year.
I agree with your general point, but I just don't think it's practical for the one position where we are desperate enough to make it worthwhile.
