Quote: bonaire "you must be joking to think Briscoe and Chamberlain will improve us.
I hope Chamberlain is very short term but to give Briscoe an 18 month deal is crazy.His top level playing days are over,injuries catching up with him as they usually do at his age,plus he is not match fit having not played since round 3.
The problem is we are bin dipping for players.Clubs dont want to release players on loan and we are not an attractive proposition for players,thats why i think its better to go with what we have given we have seven players back shortly and concentrate our effort and available money into targets for next season.
We have players who can bring the ball out of backfield thay are called forwards and should be used a lot more than we do to do that job.
Of course we are not going to sign 17 quality players overnight thats why its important the club put their effort and money into players for next season.Sending Myler out to Australia for 2/3 weeks meeting agents face to face and talking to some players should be a priority.
Signing two or three average reserve players will not make any difference to our end of season league position or add any extra pay at the gate supporters so i dont see the point.
The only thing that will save this club is money to be able to add several quality players and a couple of real exciting names to get the fan base interested again in watching Hull FC'"
You keep mention that we are bin dipping. Maybe there's a reason for that? Just because we potentially have money doesn't mean we can go out and get quality and exciting names. Even if we send Myler out to Oz we are going to be a hard sell. We're going to need to put in one hell of a sales pitch about our potential if we are to attract quality or an exciting names. Or throw them a serious amount of cash. And even that might not be enough given our current plight.
So maybe we have to go for "average" players right now and in the immediate future because the reality is we are second from bottom of the league and have been on a downward trajectory for some time now. Maybe we have to start with players that can come in and do a job for us, take the players that actually want to be here, and build from there. Even if it takes time.
