What makes people think he'll get in Oz?

They'll be saying b*gger it, Jed beat me to it!!!

are the last 2 signings from leeds or warrington??

Myler was tipped by some.. After recent performances, i wouldn't mind him

Why not compare our known team to last seasons?

Even if we end up keeping Seymour with Holdsworth, we have a much better half back pairing.
Imho, I think the only one we have not replaced with possible improvement is Moa, but then that would depend on the style of play that PG will want to employ.

Having had a few games, our youngsters will be even better next season. The known players we have coming in, will have a much better mind set. Hopefully Heremaia will be able to concentrate on sharing the hooking role with Houghton. Our coach has got his first season out of the way, and hopefully he will have learnt a lot from the last season.
I know we will get injuries, but I would be very surprised if it is anything like as bad as last season, and even then I think we will be better able to cover them.

We might still be improved further with new recruits.
To fit them in under the cap, we could lose Seymour, perhaps Tickle and even retire Horn if need be.

Was Basil from Cas right ? We really did not have a chance of signing Rangi from the start. But I am sure we have another signing up our sleeve....please ! A quality half back.

People think Seymour will be an answer with Holdsworth next to him?

People call Horne as it allegedly takes 30 mins to strap him up pre game. Well have a look at Seymours right ankle, a very thick almost boot like strapping round his ankle. Not notices as its black. its almost like what Yemo has on now!!!

Seymour needs to be flicked and replaced by

well at this point i'm struggling. so i'll say Dobbo. Hudge may just sell up. And it would be the final flick of the "V's" to the old board by Pearson. as we know, Kath didnt rate him.

Seymour's knee is the bigger problem

Yet they still would keep him over Horne!

If we do end up keeping Seymour then Pearson is going to have to eat his words.
He was quoted in HDM saying


"The one thing I can assure supporters for next season is WE WILL be bringing in quality half-backs. The six and seven positions are crucial and they need addressing".

Seymour AND Horne both have major injury issues. Holdsworth is a great signing - but if we don't make one more "marquee" signing in the halfbacks - it's going to be a similar season to the last 5. Our detractors that point out that Arundel, Crookes and Johnson are average signings aren't all wrong, and as great as Ellis is - he's nothing but a tackle machine nowadays. We seriously need to wake up, we're embarrassing ourselves talking ourselves up without anything of real substance to back it up. We're in danger of becoming an entire thread of voodooroo's! So far in terms of recruitment, we've not matched the season the much maligned Tony Gordon signed Maea David, Shane Endacott and Tevita Vaikona, and I'm infuriated over the ridiculous hype that's WE'RE all making right now!

Oh for us to find a TV now!!!

Our threequarters are absolutely crying out for a CENTRE of his quality. I'm sure we'd not waste him on the wing like Bradford did! Arundel and Crookes have a small chance of proving me wrong, but I've seen both play many times, and not been particularly impressed on any occasion.

The club may be waiting for Visa's of other players to come through before announcing them.

Just because the chase deal isnt happening do people expect the club to sign someone or announce it within day or 2 im not bothered long as they get right man

I don't think it is that I think people are concerned at Bombers comments that we are close to the cap so are hoping that a signing or 2 which we do not know about is included already.

Would anyone take Rangi Chase? Heard he may be available?

No announcement today then? Looking like a week without one.

How many more signings can we hope for?

Does anyone expect to be excited or surprised?

No

3

Both

McDonnell + HB + 3/4 ?

Where would you guess the excitement would come from?

Within.

I was expecting a fb, sh and one other. I dont' believe we have any other SH target lined up, Chase deal has fallen through and now we are scramblin around for an alternative.

Maybe he's got fed up being misinterpreted and then told to STFU by some fans.

Misinterpreted?




AP is prone to the odd 'outburst' there was the one after the Leeds playoff game and the one this mid-season about recruitment.


“[iWhat is obvious is that we need to get a top scrum half and stand off into the club next year and that will happen. It’s not open to debate, we’ve got four half back targets and two of them will be arriving to add to the signings we have already made who Peter Gentle, Shaun McRae and myself think are top quality and will take the club to where it should be.[/i"

Not sure anyone's misinterpreting this, just disappointed it doesn't seem to be happening.

Think that is pretty clear to me, dont think that is open to misinterpretation at all.
