IF Rule,says we are near the maximum cap.

He seriously is having a laugh!!

We still have no backup at 7 or 9.

The talk of the club splashing out a six figure fee, for Westerman, is nonsense IMHO, it was Berrigans salary that paid the fee,

Phelps will be waiting at the most ,12 weeks for a visa.

Do fans realistically think, we will reach the 6 this season??

Personally, I think we have no chance!!!

Thats the spirit!!

It was rumoured on here that o'meley's deal was back loaded so if true there won't be as much left as you think

Starting to wonder about it all tbh, when you consider who we have lost and who we have gained none of it seems to add up

Still, with all those signings in the bag for 2012 we've got plenty to look forward to

Too far



I still think if we are blessed on the injury front our squad is good enough to finish top 4



I accept I am probably the most optimistic ([size=50craziest[/size) fan on here though.

Whats the betting our halves for most of the season will be

Turner
Washbrook

If we only have average injuries we'll struggle to make the 8, if it's a s bad as recent seasons we won't make the 8 (unless we do bring in min 2 more players)

If Long gets injured, Id like to see Williams given a shot at 7.

I agree we need at least 2 more imo. However on paper we have a very good squad, our forwards match any-ones. If and it is a huge if we manage to get 75% out of Longy we will improve on last season, also if Turner makes a good job at 6 this will also help define our season. We actually have improved on creative players imo with both Phelps & Westerman, the key is playing them in their correct positions! Also we start the season with 2 decent wingers which is a luxury considering we had the issues with Raynor and the injury problems with Calders. But like you say on such a light squad injuries may define our season.

We should blood the youngsters ..Other top teams do it Leeds/Wigan/Saints they bring the young ones on I would like to see Williams have a go with fit players around him

We have 14-15 good players the rest are average. Which is why we'll be pushing for 7th 8th not a top 4 finish which some chumps on here think.

This club just seems to be run by a set of amateurs,How long have people on here been crying out for us to sign Phelps,I'd say pre Christmas at least,what does Agar do?signs him 3days before the start of the season,subject to visa(possibly 12weeks).when I bought my pass in November,we still had Berrigan,Burnett and Tansey,although I don't condone what Tansey did,and deserved to be sacked,I can't help thinking we have been taken for a ride.I like many on here aren't very optimistic on the season ahead,and fear it could be a season of disappointment,unless we get some key signings made,preferably not requiring a visa.

We have a squad that "should" make the top 8. Top 6 would be a good season and top 4 is dream land.

I like it in dreamland

no more signings!! Average squad!! 9th or 10th i reckon! + i thought Tansey was sacked because of the booze!... Tut tut no wonder the lads wouldnt speak to him.

Thats a very valid point, we must not be using his salary this season therefore where will it go..........

Not enough quality, nowhere near enough depth and a clown of a coach ! Are we actually supposed to be a big club ?



We'll struggle to make the top 8 with anything like an average amount of injuries through the season.

Phelps isn't a bad signing under the circumstances but it really does show what a total shambles of a pre-season recruitment campaign we've carried out !!





Roll on season after next !!! (yet again)

whatever you do dont turn the lights off at the end of the tunnel as someone else is waiting to come through

At least somebody talks some sense

!
And I've heard something other than the booze with tansey but I'm not going to say what...

Fed-trained (or qualified), presumably a half/hooker and worth 9 emoticons. That's Thomas Leuleuai territory.

=#FF0000A few people have heard this but lets be careful what we say on here please.

Have we? Has the club said that?

Wolfster! You are far too positive for this thread! Move on!!!
