Allegedly spent 100k more this year than last. I've no idea where. @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Ox Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Maybe contract bonuses for reaching the semi final? I know not reaching the semi final has allegedly saved Fax a bit of money involving contracts for this coming season so maybe thats partly the swing?

Brendan O'Hagan going home is a fair wedge saved, hopefully it'll be reinvested in a centre and a big nasty prop. @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumby Magic Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 17 hours ago, Ragingbull said: My sentiments exactly. Still time to bolster the squad but we need at least 2 if not 3 middles and a frontline winger. I know Dunning is keen to use DR more this season but id still like some.more of our own boddies in. I agree. I'd rather us not have the DR tbh unless its season long though. We are 3 signings away from what I think is one of most exciting squads in recent years. (Obviously depends how we are coached) Not full of big names or/and journey men. A SL quality fb whos still young with a point to prove, a skipper who's proven and respected youngsters of the calibre Myles Lawford who I feel is this year's breakthrough player for us.

Well, you have got my lot first up and we have been known to be pretty accommodating when it comes to playing teams who are "struggling". 2 Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.
