We are a bit like Warrington were a few years ago. Not got the squad or the youth to challenge. We need to do something similar to what they did. Splash the cash on some marquee players in key positions, and then after a few years when the youth has had a chance to mingle with a higher calibre of player, mix them into the team.
Whether we can afford to or are willing to spend that much money is another question. We are VERY short of quality in a lot of key areas. We won't get them all at once I don't think. I think talk of Chase AND Brough/Holdsworth is highly unlikely. It's not amazingly likely we'll get any one of them. We could also do with a full back and a big impact prop. And a winger (is Crookes confirmed?).

Agree with most of that but "one big impact prop"? As far as I can see, we have Lynch and Watts for next season (with Bowden as back-up). We need a minimum of 2 very good props and a quality SR to have any chance of competing with the best. On top of that, one or ideally two quality half backs are a minimum requirement. That is a big ask in one season.

Spoke to my parents this morning about hull and they are considering not getting a pass next season, I have never in my lifetime known them not get a pass for hull. I feel that there will be a few like this unless recruitment really improves, ever season seems the same with us starting well getting injuries and then our season fading badly, it always seems to be next season.

Why? Clearly PG has an idea of what he wants and that is why he is getting rid of the dead wood straight away, i know we lost Manu but he has replaced him, let's just wait and see when all is done and stop panicking

No of course not.
That will be the same salary cap that Wigan, Wire, Saints and Leeds seem to manage very easily, season after season while winning everything AND entertaining their fans..

What have they won?????...Also these 4 teams have spent money on the youth set-up and are reaping the benefits,thats why we have to sign "average" players to plug the bloody gaps.

Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

We also have contracted players who we just can't 'replace'.

What have they won? Are you joking?
Those four teams have won literally just about every trophy for the last 7 or 8 seasons.
