It's exactly like that. I'm not in a position to speak to players agents so I don't know which players may have a desire to move if the price was right or even if we have the money to meet any demands

No. I'm suggesting that making out that Sam Obst would be a replacement for Berrigan is daft at best. Berrigan's cash doesn't necessarily have to be spent on Berrigan's position.



Nice to see you dodging the question about who we might sign instead BTW.

So you're admitting to criticising from a position of ignorance then?



Good oh.

You said : "Are you suggesting that we should stick the berrigan money in the bank?". I'm agreeing with you that we must have money to spare given at one point we had Berro and Tansey on the cap, both have gone and we've only brought in Phelps. So we agree so far.



You think to be linked with Obst is a joke, so let's assume for now that to be linked with players at clubs finishing lower than us is equally silly. We have no overseas spots left. It's all very well to ridicule the club's efforts at recruitment, but you have to at least have a view on the options available. Which of the players listed, ie those from clubs finishing above our poor effort last year and which we can accommodate theoretically from a quota perspective, would you be pleased with and are realistic targets, assuming we would pay a fee?





But you make it your business to slate their actions relentlessly. If you feel authoritative enough to critique each of their decisions, surely you are able to provide a credible alternative. I've listed as many eligible players from the top 5 as I can think of. Which would you advocate as realistic and credible targets to improve our squad? It's a reasonable question.





Agreed. Disappointing.

Not dodging anything. If I were an official of the club then I'd be in a position to make enquiries. As I'm not then how can I say who we should have gone for if I don't know who may have been available? I could give some of the names and just get back that X club would never sell Y player. Neither of us would know if it were true or not

Never stopped you or anyone else on here has it?

How many times, WE HAVE HALF BACKS!! We are looking for COVER!



C O V E R.

AND 2 1/2 YEARS ON WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT ANY C O V E R

Care to name any names? Would love to hear who you would bring into the squad that are so much better then Obst or the like.

But we HAVE brought half backs in. Which you said we have failed to do so.



I agree, like most people, I would have liked us to sign half back cover. It has been stated that we have not yet finished in our recruitment. But I get the feeling people think we're going into the season with no half backs whatsoever! Long is in great shape and played well against Cas, Horney will be back in the next week or two.

l'estrange, kearney, dobson, green, witt, shicofske, gale, dorn, hanbury, holdsworh off the top of my head who are more what we need than obst
