Quote sergeant pepper="sergeant pepper"I'd love to know what you class as worth?

We are currently seeing the worst standard of RL in living memory. The league is devoid of any true class. In days gone by we'd be watching top GB talents like Long, Scully, Faz, Rads now thier modern day equivalents are in the NRL.

We currently find ourselves in a situation where distinctly average player like Brough plays for a top side and wins the MOS. After that we've endure the likes of Hudds and Cas claiming to get better when in reality everyone is getting worse. Would those two squads have done anything 10 years ago when we had quality Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Bradford sides?'"

We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.


Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters.  Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played.  That is just too much talent missing from the squad  not to have an adverse effect on performance..


If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming.  Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.


IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.
