You can't sign a player just incase your 3 main props get injured, already have alot cap and 3 quota spots on the props.

We about props signed and two backrowers and no fit halfbacks signed for next year.

This has to be the priority

Think the hold up on Pele is visa related.

He has a point though.
As it stands Fash will still be a starting front row as we dont know about this guy from Hudds where he will play if signed.
I agree though we need an experienced second row,someone who commands respect and is Captain material.
Think we are finding it difficult replacing Clifford,not just like for like but replacing him and now to lose Trueman has rocked the club particularly before Cliffords decision to leave our spine for next season was looking good
The club really cant afford another nothing season and with such a large player turnover have to get it right this time.
I dont buy into this silence is golden.
Its obviously a difficult market,money is tight,and a small quality player pool thats available.
Just hope we dont make any desperation signings.
Still think Grix has brought a couple of players with him

Pure guesswork on your part.

Mine is that the club knowing that Clifford had a clause to return home at the end of this season already had contingency plans and were doing their homework on a replacement months ago. As I say though this is all conjecture.

If you want t believe that then fine
Still believe the club is finding it difficult to replace him and now have the further problem of finding a replacement for Trueman

As I say, the club have known that Clifford would potentially leave so there's no way they'd start panicking a couple of weeks back. This might have happened in the past but I think Smith knows what he's doing.

They may be struggling but then they may have already signed someone. We don't know.

So 12 out yet only 5 in so far - some serious business to do and its gonna have to be good players and not players with potential or weve got bottom four written all over us

I miss angry ‘mucky kebab’ era Tomlinson. Anger lent him eloquence but he’s repaying with interest now.

“Adding more additions”.

In fairness, digesting another nothing burger handed down by the experienced head coach with a proven track record inevitably carries the risk of a bit of mental constipation. When you’re starting with something like “hasn’t ruled out…” reaching your minimum word count must feel like a slog.
