You say drama, but last the last two seasons we have left haldback recruitment late and ended up with Reynolds and Gale.

But that doesn’t appear to be happening now does it?

Just seems a matter of when we announce the new half back not if and it is only the middle of October!

If we get to the new year with no announcement then I could understand the drama but not now.

We're just impatient

Im not sure, what happens if we don't get Clifford, need to replace Connor with equal quality, but that becomes harder when targets fall through. We lost Sneyd early November last year.

Not sure the club didn't hold off on the Connor announcement until we had a replacement signed.

Pommy Rich on Twitter is 100% he’s signed. Says it’s in the Aussie press that he’s been granted a release to join us.

One things for sure we won't be signing Walker as Leeds have announced he's signed a permanent deal with Bradford more here Don't think there's any surprise in Walker leaving Leeds but have to say I'm surprised its Bradford he's gone too, thought he'd get a gig with another SL team at least. I guess his unfortunate injury record has possibly counted against him to an extent. Also Leeds confirming despite Walkers exit Hardaker will still not be getting a new deal at Leeds as terms couldn't be agreed.

Too true and that includes me

We shall see but I’m confident it’s all sorted so not panicking…………yet

Sneyd came out of the blue and early November is still a few weeks away.

We have been planning for Connor leaving for a while now it seems?

I think we can be pretty impatient as fans however this time I think its justified

To be honest as fans I don’t think we’re any different to any others, all fans can be impatient at times. Though putting things in to context it is as you say justified presently based on the recruitment failures over the past couple of years and particularly in the HB area. Kelly left and we seemed to get Reynolds more as a panic move than anything as a replacement, we lost Sneyd admittedly late in the day and ended up with Gale. Now we’ve let Connor go but no confirmation from the club that any replacement is signed.
In all honesty I think the majority of fans have been very patient over the past few seasons when you look at the performances served up.

Hopefully with the appointment of a proven head coach in Smith we will start to move forwards instead of continuing to stagnate or loose ground on other teams.
