To be fair to him what else can we realistically expect though? We are skint and in 2024 had one of the worst squads SL has ever seen. The only way we’d go straight from where we are now to competing for trophies would be to pluck 5-6 absolute top class players that have been discarded by other SL clubs or are fringe NRL players who suddenly turn world class in the first season. It just isn’t going to happen those players just aren’t available this season.
Leigh are the only team I ever really remember turning competitive in such a short space of time like that. They picked up the likes Hardaker, Charnley, Briscoe, Asiata, Lam, Armone etc in a short space of time post covid and Ipape was just brilliant scouting. This quality of player is not on the market this year. Not getting hammered every week and picking up a few wins is a realistic target for the position we find ourselves in. I’d much prefer the honesty rather than BS from the owner.

I can't help but think that some announcements are incoming. It is very radio silent at the moment apart from merchandise and season passes, despite media reports prior to the end of the season about us looking for a hard-working middle, and an outside back, as well as impending takeover or investment - and a fans forum! Got to be quiet for a reason, surely......please!!
