I don't know what money we have as some on here do
I know what i see though
Sidlow pasts it,if Stones is not good enough for Leigh
He is not good enough for us
The last 2 games Rowley's not lost them the players on the pitch have our own stupidity cost us.what as Rowley got to do put tape over the mouthsh
The number of times Brierley fieded a kick their was hardly anyone behind when he played the ball
Finally I am not as disappointed as some because we are where I thought we would be.

I think the problem is that with 3 Marquee signings @vailsble the bigger teams are spending more and also with their academies collect all the young talent and so we probably need a £1m on top of what we have to get the squad somewhere near the size and quality needed and to develop a decent academy. At least because of the Gerrard scenario we’re not at ML
So we are where we are, generally over achieving, as Dixon states. But because of our injuries and lack of fortune in the past couple of weeks were not in the top 6 BUT. we’re in survival mode and looking up and not down…better than Wakey Cas Hudds
I also believe it’s time now to increase the number of clubs in SL to 14 with no relegation in order that clubs can stabilise…worth a discussion posdibly

Especially when you look at the age of the squad as well. Too many over 30's who will always have 1 big injury per season. Whoever sanction Dixon and sidlow signings need to admit they dropped a bollock. Very poor signings who low and behold are Injured half the time |

Dixon seems not to have played but I do like Sidlow…adds beef …in fact on Sunday seemed better than Golden Boy Dupree
But I agree we get older, experienced players…but all we can afford probably and when we get our 1st 17 out (or if), we can compete with anybody
Its the level of back up that’s the problem…we’re carrying some Championship level players Addy Bourouh Longstaff ( work in progress as Watson used to say) and a few virtually always injured Greenwood Dixon Gerrard with the smallest squad in the League; which leaves about 20 SL level players left
Additionally Sneyds workload (organising/kicking) is immense and he’s our leader on the field at 30+

Very poor signings who low and behold are Injured half the time Rowley signed those players, as I said earlier our recruitment this year bar Stone and Partington has been very poor. Add an unwillingness to play Greenwood too. |

MTR I understand Greenwood injured all season again and not match fit. Sad but he’s hardly played for us each season
Again the recruitment…no funds…boring but why can’t we fill that Quota Spot? We had to get rid of Lannon, sadly and our international French full back to probably balance the books
As you keep saying mate…no funds…get what we can…so it’s older pack members

Yet Rowley's just wants to give jobs for the boys (add helliwell to that list). Just give young, hungry lads in the lower leagues a chance rather than wasting squad spots on Injury prone 30+ guys All well and good having players who can play a number of positions, but get lads who don't have a background of Injuries and then availability will increase and your not reliant on putting round pegs in square holes , not matter how much you wanna dress it up as a positive |

If he did bring in prospects from the championship and they didn't work out he would be slated for it. I will judge Rowley when I can see what he does with the same tools the rest have. |

I think most fans would have more patience with the young players recruited than signing has beens who just sit in the stand taking a wage. I to would love to sit down with bleasey and king about this and ask them to prove how these signing are seen as value for money and wise investments because I'm baffled. |

Yes but What are " ....the same tools as the rest" ? Presumably Money, an Academy, 3 Marquee Players and people that influence the RFL presumably Hindsight is a great thing but for injuries over the past month and some strange events in the last two matches we’d have been in the top four. So if you want the likes of the last guy the Board picked…Marshall,,,,keep moaning😉 |
