You'd have thought so but then we dish out 2 year contracts to the likes of matty dawson. Recruitment and retention has gone down the $hitter since motu left

2 years for a player who has not proved himself in Super League despite plenty of chances is very generous.
Other factors are that the ‘infrastructure’ of the board is now very old and doesnt work well on modern tablets and phones. Ive logged in on my Ipad and Android phone and you get issues on both formats.
Also RL in general feels in a rut, crowds are down at most teams, international tickets arent flying out the door. I hope this latest fomat change at least stops the rot and the game can build again.

Agree, but the I suppose you have to make it attractive for those stop gap/cover type players to want to come too. A bit of security for them and their families etc, whereas you'd not get that with a 'prove yourself' one year offer.
Message to Marcus. Big aggressive forwards should not go round complimenting other teams forwards game is going soft. Now if you want some to complement what you already have that is ok.
Looks like Leeds are looking to release players under contract including Garbutt and Cuthbertson. Shame we haven't got a quota place as Garbutt is the kind of big aggressive prop we need.

Quiet ? There wasn't a single comment on the site before during and after the Dragons loss at home recently. How bad must it be for the busiest forum in SL UK to have no comments at all for a home League game ? I'm not in Hull so can't get the vibe. Marquee signing ? - easy Trent Barrett
