£275,000 pound per season for Matt Orford. cannot leave much money for anyone else. So i assume they must have some good kids coming through. i am torn on this signing if it works they will have done well BUT it is putting a lot of eggs in one basket for an older player who has not come off the back of a good season.
We may find out in our first game of the season. ( Oops).
Even if they have got good kids coming through they generally ship them out so though can bring Aussies in, e.g Atkins, Ferres

I did see Kusto play and Orr was far worse. What made the situation worse was the club got up to super league and decided Ali Davys (a good half back) was not good enough to play super league and they brought someone in to replace him as inept as Chris Orr.

Ali Davys would have been hot at SL level i think in those days !.
Remember the song we had at the time - (those that went to games back then ) ...it went " Orr not very good , Orr not very good, Orr not very............" you get the jist of it.
Part of the problem back in '98 was most of the team that got us promoted were dumped for Schofield's mates or blokes who were past it and not up to this level .
roofaldo, what are you on about , they have spent the last 30 years trying to get someone, anyone , the council to improve, renew their ground, ask ant keigthly supporter, they bought all their trophies, by overspending the salary cap (were fined allowed to keep said trophies, no other sport would allow this), now they are big spender again, as long as this kind of thing is allowed to carry on we will always be a nonentity in the world of sport.
Giants forever, hate the Bulls

Like Kirklees did for you?
As for your second point i take it you haven't gone up to the limit of overseas players and the entire squad came through your academy system?
