Thanks for all your efforts Eddie.

Nice write up by the club as he was ‘Mr.100%’ whatever you say about him…

So far so good on our signings.

To say Fev are cutting costs their signings suggest the opposite.

Reynolds, Minikin and Addy are 3 good signings who to be honest I’d have been happy with.

I believe they are doing what we are. Working from a blank slate and likely going to build strong on the quiet side.

They will likely be our main competitors along with Toulouse.

I am looking forward to seeing our next lot of signings and hopefully we have some quality coming in with pace on edge, quality in the spine (HB or LF) and a big strong forward.

But have Fev paid last month's players wages yet?

Currently and i know things will/may change but i look at the squads in the championship and think fev bulls halifax toulouse and york are as strong as us if not stronger.

Fev are losing players like Dean Kopczak Taylor
York I can't see a player I'd want to sign for our team except Dagger
Bradford have Gaskill and Taufua

I'm really not sure what you are seeing?

Who are you picking out in their squads as their stars?

I'm only asking as you said their squads are stronger. I thought you knew their players, which I don't.

If you only meant they have more cover then as we've only signed 18 players I agree with you. I just thought you were saying you had more insight than that.

Cover is a big thing but fev are signing well (addy reynolds minikin massey)york (i work with york fan and hes very confident)have and bulls have some decent players.this is why i said currently though as id guess wakey still have plenty of budget left and hopefully some frontline players are brought in esp down the spine and a bit of pace

Got to admit not to excited by our squad ,not a lot of pace in the three quarters, very old 6,and 9 with no pace , The spine cost us big time last season because of pace ,as did the the three quarters, Just keeping fingers crossed ,there are some signings to put pressure on the spine and speed brought in to the three quarters
