What are our chances now?
Leafa - gone to Cas - Nanyn resigned for Widnes
Other clubs in a signing frenzy - Haven - all stood still!
So, it begs the question - are we able to compete seriously next season if no new signings are announced? Personally, I think not. It appears, we are not holding any aspirations of competing with the likes of Cas and Widnes.
Okay, so the squad we have now, done the business this year despite some major injuries to key players like Lester, Fats and Spencer. We have a good crop of youngsters coming through but in my humble opinion, and for what it is worth, these lads still need a couple of top drawer signings to bring them on even further and help them mould themselves into much better players in a couple of seasons. Lester, Fats, Leroy, Seeds are all coming to the ends of their careers and we will probably only have a season of service left in them, they are going to damned hard to replace, which we should be looking to do sooner rather than later to get any new recruit settled in and playing together. I fear we are being left at first base and unless some major signing/s is announced soon then I cannot help but think, like others have mentioned - we have no ambition.
It might just be panic at the moment making us all worry - but we need to act now before all available players are snapped up by our rivals and we are left to choose from the has-beens and Billy no Mates.
The above is my opinion, and I am entitled to it - no blame has been lodged anywhere, no individual named but my observations.
