Very frustrating to see both (potential) middle 8 rivals Salford and Wakefield sign Gaz O' Brien and Liam Finn respectively


Yes I made the point on Twitter that however you feel about Wakefield we can all agree that for the sake of the sport any signings that strengthen them is a real shame.

I also tweeted Liam to ask whether they intend to keep him in cotton-wool for the Million Pound Game or will play him the regular season.

That's the sort of thing a bitter curmudgeon does boys and girls.

Bit gutted that we lost out on Liam Finn to Wakefield, of all teams. He would have fitted the bill exactly imo

Still, getting in the end of a hiding every week at the bottom of SL is obviously more attractive than playing for a winning team. Either that or the money he's getting from the larger salary cap.

Grrrrrr

Yawn, that old chestnut why don't you accept you weren't good enough and move on before it eats you up, oh hold on a minute :lol: it does not matter how much money you get if you waste it by spending it on quantity and not quality.

Indeed. Here is an example of what we would call a team that wasn't good enough in 2015. Probably the worst team ever to disgrace SL, by some margin.

No you're wrong they're a much better prospect now they've got Brian Smith.

They've replaced a coach that only beat 3 Superleague teams with a coach that's failed to beat any. But they were a lot more competitive and played a much more attractive style of rugby.

Well at least we've got a coach, the only person Lowes inspired was the opposition, he even out thought was himself :lol:
