Looking at our likely restricted recruitment options this close season, what can we expect for next?

Can we add enough quality to improve things and will our ageing superstars suffer less injuries?

We will just jog along as usual,in the hope of a brighter future.

It really depends how much of the cap is tied up in the players we payed off (Raynor/King). It looks likely that Yak/Calderwood/Hall will leave and perhaps one of Dowes/Radford. Not a great deal of cap there IMO. We may have to rely big time on our youngsters to stand up and be counted like Wigan's have this season.

A hell of a lot will depend on the signings we make and the tactics we choose to employ. The likelihood of Long playing more games than he has this year doesn't seem that great. So we either need to bring in a halfback or move Tansey there permanently. Chopping and changing the most important attacking positions on the park is doing us no favours whatsoever. We need another specialist winger and possibly a class centre as a minimum. We also need to learn how to perform at a consistent level and put the same amount of effort into every game.

I hope that injuries don't come to around 40% of the first team players AGAIN!

Why does this surprise anyone, we've suffered from injuries for many seasons, it's what happens when you recruit ageing players.

If I could wish for one thing,it would be for the end of these bloody injuries.

Not all the injuries we have had have been ageing....since the move to the KC we have had more breaks than anyone and more career ending injuries than anything.

West
Crowther
Prescott

Are 3 that spring to mind then we had T.Smith,Eager,J.Smith,Barnett snr,Horne,Swain,Whiting,Calderwood and no doubt others.

Attitude , Tactics, ,line speed all need to improve for a start regardless of who we bring in. But i don't see them changing much under the current coach .

Things will be the same until you get rid of Agar the guy really is clueless

Attitude.

Change that first.

Yet he's still beat Justine twice this year. Justin must be terrible.

I believe it's cost us at least 6 points this season.

At the very least.

Oh ffs...i couldnt give a toss if we beat them or not...i would take 2 losses v them if it meant us finishing in top 2

. We all would however I'm just saying if Agar is 'clueless' then a coach who has been beaten twice by him this year must be awful.

I know exactly what you mean .... most 32 year olds dislocate their elbows, we should have known better.



Oh and how old is Richard Whiting again? I mean he must be at least 40 the amount of injuries he gets.

Tbf mate....i dont rate Morgan all that much either.

Where's Jake the Peg?? I've come to apologise and i want to join the negative club.....



Still gonna judge our progress/success at the end of the season but my confidence is now shot!! Maybe the playoffs is not such a good idea!!

not unless we get a decent half back.....too boring and predictable,horne and long will not be together enough to forge a great partnership,but thats what happens when you sign players that are past their best and knocking on a bit

Problem is... i don't wanna see Long and Horne play together. What i really want is the club to dispose of Horne's services and complete the release of the deadwood which we started this year!! He's not really 'knocking on a bit' but past it he certainly is!!!

Can't really say until we see who we bring in, but I expect us to be a little bit better than this year. However, I also expect others to improve more than we do, so we'll probably be further behind the best and surpassed by 1 or 2 others.

Things will improve for me because i wont be getting a season pass. That way, if the players and coach cant be bothered to turn up i have a get out clause and i dont need to either. Waste of money large parts of this season.

agar must be clueless then maguire has stuffed you twice in his 1st season

I don't envisage major incomings for next year. A winger and a prop, you'd imagine. I'd be astounded if a new pivotal player came in and there is nothing to suggest that our attack will improve unless Long stays injury free.

Looks like another battle for 5th-8th coupled with the odd shock win a la Saints this season with the hope of a cup run.
