Yep no chance of 3 top NRL signings. We can’t afford it over here. Their cap blasts us out of the water significantly.

Think some fans honestly believe you can go out and sign
Ali Lautiiti
Danny Buderus
Even a Kylie Leuluai (low profile when he arrived)

And why ain't we doinh it? Sack Agar, sack players despite being on contract...
The phrase 'cloud cuckoo land' springs to mind.....

And forgetting it isn't fantasy land where you just get who you want. They may be offered more elsewhere or not be the right fit for the group. Agar may have his doubters but he's assembled a squad that looks to have a fantastic spirit and togetherness. Not all players will fit into that.

Since Sinfield Came in mid 2018 I think our recruitment has been pretty good with some top class signings and some that just didn't work out for their own reasons probably 1 or 2 poor signings in there but most clubs have made those mistakes for me personally I'd say
2019-
Lolohea ( poor signing could have been very classy half but was in poor physical condition and nor the right half we needed but I believe Mcdermott was still in charge when we was finalising the deal for him).

Hurrell - Rocks & Diamonds like most of us know probably not a marquee signing but definitely worth a OQ spot on his day probably in top 10 centres in SL.

Merrin - Was a State of Origin player when he came over clearly a leader and definitely worth a marquee slot, however didn't quite work out for his family reasons and how he left was a bit messy i don't think Sinfield or GH could do much about that.

Donaldson- clever recruit imo cheap a hard worker doesn't let anyone down, not flashy but good too have around the club.

Lui- brought it when we desperately needed a half too save our season he did that and now is being moved on as we know, smart recruitment again for me.

Martin- again a bit like Hurrell rocks & diamonds very good goal kicker solved a issue we've had since KS retired I think he probably is worth a OQ but could be upgraded if right second rower came a long.

Seumanufagai- I liked him was worth a OQ spot for me obviously left for his personal reasons but he did a good job in our pack when we needed him.
2020
Gale- probably best signing we've made since Sinfield came in we obviously needed a dominating half back since Mcguire & Burrow left in 2017 we've got that in Gale.

Leeming- still has some improvement in his game but we needed another hooker too go along side Dwyer maybe Leeming was the best that was on offer, but he's still young and can improve like I say.

Mellor- again probably could still improve a few areas but is solid for me as long as he's not on mega bucks which I don't think he will be he's not a bad signing does little stuff well makes his tackles not a flashy second rower but solid.

Prior- probably second best signing for me does everything well that you want from your props probably a 7 or 8 out of 10 most weeks, definitely worth OQ spot NRL standard player.
2021-
Tetevano & Vuniyayawa Dury is still out for both still petty early in season haven't seen a lot of either of them with Suspensions & injuries but I can't see Tetevano being a bad signing he's a Current NZ international player

Agree with all of this. I think people think we can just go sign who we want because we are Leeds. It isn’t like that anymore, players have far less incentive to come over and if they do then it’s unlikely they are going to be top level players.

We just need to focus on developing our young players, signing good quality british players if they become available and signing somebody from the NRL if it fills a position of need and improves us. I think generally our recruitment has been okay because the kind of players some people want just aren’t available to us.

Why do people on here think we have a given right to sign Trueman?
Firstly do we think GH will spend big money?
Secondly why would Trueman want to leave Cas with no pressure on him to have the weight of the world on his shoulders here in a bottom half team?


His agents words ‘Trueman wants to win trophies and if that means he needs to leave Castleford to get them trophies, that’s something we will have to cross. That doesn’t mean he isn’t happy at castleford, but if he declines to sign a new contract, they will likely look to cash in’
