Depends if the contract has been signed or not. If it was verbal we may just pay them for the duration of said contract without them having to get out of bed.

C C believes that Trinity have made some quality signings but the squad will be thinner next season. Apparently at least 4 new quality
sighning are lined up and it's just a matter of dotting the I and crossing the ts
Any ideas.


Wonder when these 4 quality new signings will turn up. If ever.

Wow. That's a lot of effort to go find this.
But yes, I'd like to see them too.

Been said before ,but is rebuild of a new team started the rot of the team we have got now, We have got 5 players still playing (because of long contracts) who were way past there best when they joined ,And if you put in the season when he wasted all the salary ,for players that were second and third choice players for there team .And was then allowed to waste most of the salary for the season that W Poaching took over you can see why now we have no team and no cash for players .Just brought in old players not young ones

Some of the Chester era signings were just bizarre. If all of the fans could see that Lineham and Gaskell were duff signings why couldn't anyone at the club? I'd have rather taken a punt on some of the academy lads and waited for other players to become available mid-season.

I could go back even further when a certain CEO didn't want a certain player.

Well some time later, that mentioned player is one of our highest earners.

Our 7 overseas signings are the worst ever. Only Whitbread gives us what we want. Tanginoa lost interest as soon as he got a long term deal. Lino isn't the playmaker we thought we were getting. Proctor and Langi are past it. Tofua is bang average and Atoni is stealing a wage

Atoni for me so far is just a total waste of wage and quota spot. His stats are nothing short of a disgrace. He has looked perpetually knackered from game 1 against Catalan with hands on hips after 10 minutes. I never expected us to sign a Paul Vaughn doing 200+ metres a game at what seems a breeze to him, but I’d simply rather of took a chance with a uk Player. We are as a club bottom of the league on metres made, tackle busts, average gain, clean breaks and top of the league in Tackles. Tells you everything you need to know. We are literally getting minimal opportunity’s to score or apply any pressure, Munster and Cleary would struggle behind those stats.

I agree. Atoni is a big disappointment. I hope its just fitness that will improve but its his running game we need. His tackle stats aren't bad but we have loads of tackles.

It's always the same. When we lose heavily people point to the fitness and defense when most of the time for us it is completion rate and field position.
Lino has proved when he has a dominent pack he runs rings round opposition, but he can't do it with a rushing defense on the half way line.

The stats we need to improve are post contact metres especially in the middle and speed and accuracy of pass.

It would be nice if the wingers ran with confidence too but good field position will do that.
