the club certainly know how to pee off their fans.

Are we looking for Rangi to do it all on his own again next season?

And he'll be taking up a larger chunk of the playing budget to do it.

Great news but we need to put some players in to help him. We desperately need a stronger running second rower, an experienced centre and prop cover.

I will be honest, I feel totally deflated now, cheers cas, you know how keep your fans happy. Just a little question about rangi though, what stops anyone like warrington, wigan or Leeds coming in with a substantial offer for him at the end of 2012?

The fact that Rangi has signed until 2015 is going to be a major factor in attracting the players that we require. I'm sure there is even more to come from Rangi with fresh ideas from Basil.

The buzz of anticipation and subsequent feelings of anti-climax will be gone in a day or so but the gratification of knowing one of the best players in the game is ours long-term will be far more enduring.

i agree and i'm sure the club are aware too but just because you were expecting something different it does not alter that the fact that this is fantastic news.
