7 is definitely right for Non-Fed.

Are you sure the Marquee allowance gives you an extra spot though? Sounds odd.

Murdoch-Masila has just been released by Penrith along with a player I'd love to see in the pack, Adam Docker is a beast in defense and would go some way to filling the gap left by losing Hock, HH and Paterson.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, it was more a tongue-in-cheek comment.

So after the game I learnt that O'brian has sign so has Monaghan and this prop/2nd row from Wests. Sau has been told he can leave and from the reason Hanson has left is a bit more complicated than we think. Apparently Thursday is the day when a number of announcements will be made

Care to elaborate?

I had to ask, the RFL do make this stuff up after all!

a little concerned about the number and quality of the signings we are allegedly making compared with what we lost in through the 2015 season. I just hope there are others in addition coming with some real quality, because obviously we have to improve on 2015 which we thought we would have but didn't, and a lot of that 'supposed' quality has gone. What do you think all?

Re: Next Season Recruits : Tue Sep 29, 2015 5:54 pm  

From the signing rumours I've heard, unless there are a couple of big surprises I wouldn't expect anything more than a bottom 4 finish. Hope I'm wrong obviously but I'm just trying to be realistic.

No change then!
Let us not prejudge on rumour.

Re: Next Season Recruits : Tue Sep 29, 2015 6:44 pm  

no change then , we've been bottom end of the league last two seasons with our supposed ' quality signings.
actually I'm more comfortable with 'just signings' and someone bringing them in who might have a plan of how to use them. eg build a team that is more than the sum of its parts.

Yes I'd much prefer us to over achieve than under achieve . Hopefully next year there will a lot less drama off the field and players with more ambition who are fully committed to the cause. It's time to start building solid foundations for the future and investing more time and finances in developing young players. The long term plan should be transforming the youth setup and then adding a couple of worldies if Marwan still has the appetite.
