Cas  and  Widnes  were  always  going  to  sign  alot  of  players.

Don't  forget  Cas  have  lost  a  few  due  to  relegation  whilst  Widnes  have  also  lost  the  likes  of  O'connor  and  Barry  Mac.

Still  I  would  like  us  to  sign  3  maybe  4.  We  have  1st  shout  on  Wilkes  and  I  for  one  would  love  to  see  him  back.  Nanyn  looks  like  he's  on  his  way  out  of  Widnes  so  he's  another  I  would  sign.  Another  couple  of  quality  signing's  and  I'm  sure  we'd  be  up  there  if  not  above  Cas  and  Widnes.

Biggest  question  is  just  how  much  is  the  BOD  prepared  to  spend...........

The BOD are scared to spend i think, maybe justifyably so but sooner or later we have to make the decision. Take a chance and buy what is required and push for SL or remain in comfortable mediocrity in the lower leagues?



WHY DOESNT ANYONE @ HAVEN SEE WE NEED A DECENT STAND OFF?????????????????????

agreed reg then you ask a someone about  a stand off they reply tell us where there is one
well here goes
we have clayton friend in new zealand surely he knows a young stand off wanting to make a name for himself?
dave has been at saints what about young scott moore on loan or matty smith?
dave was at london what about matt gaffa?
