Up to now it’s kind of recruitment and kind of players that a newly promoted side would generally make. We’ll be lucky to end the season with 6-8 points so we are effectively a championship standard side at the moment. It’s the reality of our financial situation as a club and the playing squad we currently have. You have to start somewhere and build our way back. Compare to Wakefield who have a backer pumping money in they’ve signed a couple of top quality players but still think they’ll have to bulk up their squad with a few more steady SL players like we’ve signed.
I'm not convinced Wakefields recruitment is as good as people think, Mcmeeken is a brilliant signing, but not sure about a marquee winger.
Scott, Hall and Storton are OK, both probably squad players at Hull and Rovers.
Russell on a 4 year contract is brilliant work by his agent, very average halfback.
Look at their pivots, Jowett, Lino, Russell, Hood and Pitts, ok they might recruit more and its a positive they are spending, but think people are going a bit over the top on their recruitment.
