We've had some absolute stinkers in one way or another when it comes to signings in the past but never so many all at once. It just looks amateurish. How could anyone get it so wrong?

Someone said we made nine signings so is it just Walker, Ashworth, Ese Ese and Smith left?

That's correct. Brown and Diakhate have left. Okunbor,Pele and Tindall out on loan.

I couldn't hear the robin sing if not for you.

If there was any justice then Tony Smith would be paying the wages of Okunbor, Pele, Tindall and quite a few others out of his pay off.

But if there was justice he'd already be well out of pocket for his disastrous signings of Vete and Takairangi for Rovers.

It was obvious they had a ‘profile’ of player what they went for rather than doing proper due diligence on each individual player. They went for young raw players with size for the forwards and speed with Tindall. Even the star signing Brown was a utility player who’s never really established himself in a position, raw ability but not what was needed. Most don’t seem suited for SL or in Browns case the role we wanted him to play.

I fear we’ve just gone the other extreme now with the recruitment, not well thought out and short sighted. We’ve decided that having no luck with the likes of Pele and Okunbor we’ll focus too much on experience and proven in SL rather than quality and the obvious risks with ages and contract length. Hopefully the rest of the recruitment brings a couple of more dynamic players in.

We won't really know how the recruitment shapes up overall for a while yet in my opinion. I would also say that even if it turns out that they have focussed heavily on one area such as experience that it doesn't necessarily mean that it's short sighted or not thought out. In his interview with the HDM last week, Myler said that there's a plan for recruitment year on year so we're probably going to need to judge what they are doing over several recruitment periods rather than just one. Such is the state we are in.

Now they want to ship Pele out on loan to York, this year's recruitment has been absolutely diabolical, Pearson, Clarke and Smith should hang their heads in shame for the damage it's caused the club


Can't blame Clark he's the messiah now all on AP apparently. :D
