What the vision for the club over the next 2 years? Steady rebuilding?
That's a tough sell to an NRL player when the usual contract is 2 years.
"Come for two years and help us climb to the heights of mid-table" doesn't exactly sound enticing does it.

I'm no rocket scientist but why not pay the fee we was going to pay Salford to a club for a player who we will put on the wages we was going to give to Lam. Obviously if they fit the bill and not just any one.

That's the feeling I am now getting considering in the article it says about the half back likening it to the Treigh Stewart signing.

Usually try to look at positives. But my word in struggling after recent weeks!

But I get your point, we just aren't attractive anymore and nedd to use money as a motivation, unfortunately this still doesn't always work like it didn't with Lam.

I was hoping the appointment of Cartwright and the repeat he must have would have some pull.

I had hoped cartwright would have sorted out a couple of gems for us but seemingly not

So far its just very lazy what Myler has done

Whilst the club may take a slight hit in margins I think increasing prices would following this shambolic season
would certainly hit the club a lot more by tipping more fans over the edge at a time when they need to reward the fans for sticking with them be it as pass holder or corporate sponsor.
