To be fair to the club in terms of recruitment from the past, it wasn't as heavily required as it is now, 2010-2012 for example we had a good team and we had arguably the best player in the comp in Sam T, we still had very good reliable players too like Richards etc
We did bring in Blake Green to offset the loss of Finch etc
Since 2013 though the squad has got progressively worse, and there has been some terrible recruitment
I don't expect us to sign star names every season but i expect us to address weaknesses which we simply aren't doing that, we are in fact continuing to make the squad weaker and weaker
The MM situation is perplexing because if we believe its not cap related, then basically what IL and Wigan are saying is "MM had a great world cup and generated a lot of interest, so rather than keep a player who clearly is good enough to be wanted by several clubs, we will cash in on that and play a player who has never been linked with a move away and hasnt ever been near to an international setup" We seem to want to give away any player that is wanted by other clubs
