<p>There are far too many players that have been here far to long and need moving on, the squad needs refreshing from the core as we have become stagnant.</p>
<p>Our recruitment for the last two seasons has been very very poor we have recruited far too many players not just from crap teams below us but from teams that have been relegated which in itself shows a lack of ambition and a lack of knowledge about actually recruiting a decent team. We are now reverting to signing ex players which again is worrying, either nobody wants to come here or our recruitment is utter shite.</p>

<p>we need to be looking higher than that - so is it right will roberts was recalled ?</p>
<p>big miss for me, a stand off that can give a spark to the team</p>
<p>lets wait and see on recruitment but we need a running standoff a grizzly prop at least </p>
<p>if we can hang onto Big Ben that would be a massive plus, but suspect he off to Leigh </p>
