Who is in charge of our recruitment?
Compare it to Rovers. How do they manage to recruitment. ( certainly from overseas) so much better than us?

It wasn't though was it, because after Cooke left we regrouped, signed Matty Head, and actually had a pretty good season. We were one Richard Horne brainfart from being 80 minutes away from Old Trafford. We jumped the gun and got rid of Sharp way to early.

I'm sick of this excuse now. Rovers have signed 5 good halfbacks amongst all the crap we sign.. Holdsworth and Sneyd being the 2 worst of that group..
Our recruitment has been in the bottom 2 in the Superleague hence why we are sat in the bottom 2..
Pearson out!!

The national team is now in a better place than when he got the job, and he's played his part in that. He's used to being in the spotlight, he's done two years in the NRL at arguably the best club in the world and he has plenty of contacts on both sides of the world. He's also Hull lad to boot if Pearson wants to keep banging that drum.
I don't see anyone better who we might actually have a chance of attracting.

And both those players have played much better at other clubs, with a better coach. I doubt that it is so much about bad recruitment.
