Honestly I'm beginning to suspect that there will be peeved fans regardless of who we sign.



Your probably right, after all the rumour and speculation I'll be very happy if we get Chase, Holdsworth, Crookes, Mcdonnell, a big tough prop and one of either Whitehead or Bateman. Anyone on top of that I.e. Amor will be a bonus. Anything less will be worrying because except the halves we will be no stronger.. I know we need to wait and see.

with regards to being weaker in other positions if these are the signing before writing them off like aspinwall and mcgoldrick, people should wait until they've played a few games and actually let our coach coach them.

games aren't simply decided by who has the best squad otherwise cullen and then lowes would have won trophies with wire.

Think you may well be onto something there Kosh. If we signed the full Australian test team there would still be some underwhelmed people. PG knows what areas he sees as a priority for top class and with only so much available on a cap and quota spaces then its a tough job especially when we as a club are in need of so many at once.

We seem to be going with younger home based players that have a desire to play for us and can be moulded into a top side rather than the old stagers just coming for a pay cheque.

If we do indeed get Chase & Holdsworth that will be exceptional recruitment let alone without the addition of Ellis. Maybe PG has decided the way we will play next season we do not need so much emphasis on battering ram style props as long as we have some decent size & pace in there?

Until all the signings are announced we can't bitch and moan although some always will that's life

Definately not in the Cuddle Crew

Re: Rumours.... : Fri Sep 07, 2012 11:29 am  
Is Amor better than Moa or O'Meley who he'd be replacing, is Johnson too? And dont give me all this bol lux about you cant have a team full of superstars as i know you cant but you need high quality winners in as many areas of the field as possible, not one at scrum half, one in the back row and one on the wing then expect us to be real candidates for SL and signing Amor when we originally went for Paea is poor imo. Id rather have Mason from Hudds or even Lovegrove from Rovers than frigging Amor

To reconcile respect with practicality, what is the optimum speed for a hearse?

I'm very happy with AP, PG and SMc and I'm sure they will do a great job for us, however going for Lopini and possibly ending up with Amor is underwhelming. And for the posters saying we can't have a team of Superstars is a load of rubbish, in my eyes all the top teams have a lot more superstars and until we match them we will be behind them. Also we have a lot of good players leaving and AP said said they will be replaced by better, let's hope it comes off or there WILL be a lot of peeved off fans.


Was Ben Westwood a superstar when he left Wakey?
Was Zak Hardaker a superstar when he went to Leeds?

Point is these players become better when in a better environment, so i've no problem with us signing "journeymen" and letting Gentle work with them. Watts was a very naughty boy from Cas at one point and is now looking great. Aspinwall had looked average and people are now saying give him a new contract.

The salary cap and the quota says we can't have a team of superstars, otherwise it would be open season with Wire getting the superstars based on their backer and the rest of us picking up what was left.

As I said before I'd rather have a team of players who want to play for FC and are enthusiatic, decent players, than be tripping over egos when I arrive at the KC as we slip to another defeat before they all head out on the lash thinking they're bigger than the club.

Think Mr Pearson mentioning that they will spend to get a players in to win trophies has handed more power to the clubs who have players under contracts. Not a really good move IMOA.

I recall you were the same about Goldie and others who have turned out to be very good buys in fact!!!
everything we do is poor according to you and some of your comments are so silly its unreal.
Amor is regarded as one of the up and coming talents and his work rate is as good as anyones
give it a rest jesys

:lol: your not wrong some are bitching about players we have NOT signed yet FFS (same one incidentally whom said PG had lost the plot when he brought goldie in and our hardest working forward)
if we had a SOO front row coming some would complain

God this place is full of poop. Amor is nothing other than average but as soon as he might be coming here he's great. :roll: Anyway what about Johnson who's definately signed according to some? :roll: And Chase who has signed or maybe he hasnt. :roll: The fact is that 99% of you havent got a clue and need to stop dreaming and bandwagon jumping. :roll:


Johnson is signed. Anyone with an ounce of RL knowledge will know Amor has been in fantastic form for Wakey this year, i'd say as equeally impressive as Taylor has been for Rovers.

Just for good measure :roll: :roll:

Mason is finished, doesnt always get picked for Hudds. Amor has been better than both this year. That will remain the same if we sign him or not.
