If walker doesn't leave then signing an nrl winger/full back is a poor decision when we're crying out for a quality centre

That's a fair point and that's the difference between you and Bonaire.

Still think your post above is way over the top.

Rapana, Seizer and Asiata are good signings.

Holmes and Cartwright are better than we have.

Cust is miles better than Smith.

Hardaker is a smart signing, robust, string and still performing at a high level

Definitely weak at centre, hope Walker stays.

Hopefully we get better value out of Ashworth and Sao.

Looking forward to the team bern fitter and more robust with a new backroom staff.

Exciting to see what Cartwright amd Last can do.

Definite doubts about the team.

But still think we are in a much better place than 12 months ago, on and off the field.

Fair points. In isolation nine of the signings are particularly bad, it's just the number of higher risk signings. Shirt or bust probably next year. We could finish as high as 8th but more likely 11th or 12th. I doubt we'll have our first choice half's playing together very often

People have been saying the same for the last 6 or 7 seasons. They were as deluded as you.

We're relying on a 35 year old winger playing at full back, an obese half back, another who is about 35 and 2 hookers, one of who is really a half back but not really good enough to play there and another who was kept out of Salfords team last season by 2 half backs playing hooker.

Add in the worst centre partnership in superleague and a pack of forwards who are pretty much what we had this year, Holmes and asiata apart, and I have no idea why you think we'll do well

Wait until after the forum with Adam Pearson and Myler when they promote all the new exciting signings.
No doubt after that there will be some on here taken in and think we will be a top four team next season
