| Quote Kosh="Kosh"Wondered when that trite bollox would get trotted out.
You reckon we'll be mediocre next season do you?'"
What Bollox is that Mr Mod?
No, I've never said that.. I've always said that I'm happy with the signings made so far, certainly not ecstatic but defiantly Optomistic that we can do a good job and hope and expect us to do well.
All I'm guilty of is getting a bit excited at the thought of getting Chase and to be disappointed that as yet he or similar has not been signed. Therefore if that makes me a whinger and moaner so be it!!

| Quote Kosh="Kosh"He means added to the 'new' signings for next season despite being here this season. I think.
Hope the remaining signings are stellar or some on here are going to be in need of the Samaritans.'"
Yes that is exactly what I meant.
Our squad is clearly going to be stronger next season from the recruitment already. Added to that, Green, Bowden, Pitts etc..will all have another pre-season under Gentle, so things are obviously looking up.
However, it is not what AP has said on many occasions about "6 signings in the bag that he can't announce" plus two of the best half backs and maybe one more. That is what he said and there is no getting away from it.

I think what people are saying is that you get alot of posters on here targeting pearson as if he's to blame for the let downs.
Yes i was excited in bringing in rangi chase. But it's not pearson or hulls fault for him not coming. We tried our best, invested money into lawyers to deal with it but failed. Pearson thought maybe he could throw money around.
The season overall has been a success in my eyes. If we didn't have as many injuries and gave away 5 points (Drew with Saints And Losses to wakey and dobbins) we could have finished top four.
Sorry for the rant, just finished work.

Fact is Kosh some people (Me) want the best players possible for the club and I know that's what AP and PG want too.
Another Fact there are some people happy to go in to 2013 with Horne at 1 and Seymour at 7, is that not Mediocre?
I think it is.

I didn't take it as a rant pal because I agree with everything you have wrote!!
I've never once targeted AP or slagged him, I think we're very lucky to have him.
I was very happy with how the season ended, injuries and a few mess ups aside we would of finished higher.

| If we were to go into next season with Seymour at 7 and Horne at 1, that would be so underwhelming that it would undermine everthing that AP has promised us !

I very much doubt that there would be many that are ‘happy’ to keep Horne and Seymour for 2013?
Problem is about who is available to bring in.
Rather than do some stupid panic buying (to satisfy the drama queens) many would rather wait until the right players are available. If that means keeping Horne and Seymour as our best option, then so be it.

| Some of you guys need to relax a bit, maybe AP was a bit naive and maybe he was a little misleading over his 6 in the bag claim, but there's still a long way to go before the start of next season, anything could happen over the coming weeks.

| I would be very happy if we just get another h/back in the bag to be honest and if this means utilizing Horney at f/back then I can live with that for another year and I am sure he will do a reasonable job tbh.

| Horne would be Ok as a FB, but I worry about his injuries and who is the back up, is Shaul ready?
I still expect us to sign Mcdonnell and would be surprised to see us sign Louis Sheriff in a years time.
I still hope we take a risk on Eastmond if he will available.
