DR has indicated that new signings were unlikely until later next season, because he and the BOD were happy with the way the squad was taking shape. All we know for sure is that Leafa was one of the players expected to be in the squad, so I would anticipate that a replacement will be sought. As for all the others, they appear to have priced themselves out of our squad which is fair enough. How many of the rumours were true we will probably never know, maybe there are three or four players that were expected to be in the squad next season, if so then replacements will be sought.
Our BOD and recent coaches have got a pretty good track record in signing quality good players over the last couple of seasons as and when needed, be patient and let the guys do their jobs like they have competently for the last three or four years! I have full confidence that we will be there or thereabouts again next year. One thing I know for sure is that Haven is a very well run club and the BOD won't blow the budget to get into super league........I suspect one or two other clubs will do/are.
I for one fully back the BOD as they are the best the club has had in my memory. As one of our forum members avatars reminds us - KEEP THE FAITH!
