The Asiata signing was a statement but since then the quality of UK signings is poor.and our backline and halfbacks will be the slowest in S/L.
Top six was easily possible with several quality overseas players and by binning Sao,Okunbor and possibly Pele we still could have the overseas halfback,Nine and centre that we need.
The club have gone the route of fillers with experience in the hope that some of our younger players will become regular S/L players in two or three years.
These players are not going to put bums on seats next season.Another two or three big names would have done
I kind of get what you mean but by the time the investment came in any decent UK based players had already signed for other clubs so we are kind of left trying to get what we can from an already limited market. If we can get Murphy (don't know the strength of the rumour) we'll have pace out wide and at FB with Stewart. What Abdull and Trueman lack in pace they make up for in smarts.
Hopefully next year we can have a good go at the UK Market now we have a coach and investment in place. Centre and backrow obviously need the most work and money.
