Hull KR are going to make 3 more signings according to their forum.

As more clubs recruitment ticks by, there is no way that we are spending the full cap.

So what if were not spending the whole cap? If the right persons not available then i dont want us to sign some poor mans feka like sam moa and end up missing out on real quality in 2011. As long as we get a new coach im happy with what we have to go with next year. We are looking very good long term and thats all that matters, even if we re-signed trent barrett and got 2 of the best props in the world we probably wouldnt win something next year, people need to learn to be patient.

Great post.

Randoms like Hull KR, Hudds etc will never win anything because they always feel like they HAVE to sign new players every season. Teams like Saints and Leeds, sign people to either replace older players, or to strengthen a particular area. The randoms of SL just replace like with like, crap for crap.

Terrible post. You've managed to contradict yourself whilst dribbling that tosh out.

To be fair he did throw in a couple of schooners at the last minute.

What is incorrect in my statement?

Leeds have signed Delaney to replace Smith and Eastwood to replace Ellis. Thereby strenthening certain areas. St Helens have replaced the ageing gilmour with the spritely Soliola and have also signed Fozzard on a 1 year deal as a stop gap for the nailed on signing of Luke Bailey at the end of 2010 (hes already told Saints he signing them).

All the other randoms in SL just have a merry go round of playing staff that dont really improve their team with the exception of Hull FC who, for once, have recruited well.

CUT OUT THE INSULTS. PEMPS. If Wigan feel that the players available to them, arent as good as what they already have, then why should they sign anyone. Just go with what they already have until better players become available.

If we are significantly under it i.e. under it by enough so that a wage for a top class player could be offered but we are not going to spend that amount of money because the club is making a loss, then this is where the "rich chairman" comes in.

If this is the situation we are in then IL is presumably attempting to get the club in profit eventually but in the meantime he needs to speculate to accumulate IMO.

Subsidizing the wage of a top class player while he works towards profitability for the club are not incompatible things to be doing.

IMO if he does not do this he will find it a harder and slower process to get the club profitable.
