That’s my point, whilst Cross isn’t world class quality he is a decent centre and would more than improve us in an area we are lacking. Without any quota spots and a pretty abysmal pool of players that were available by the time we started shopping then I’d be disappointed more if we didn’t make a play to sign Cross.
Think under Cartwright every player has an opportunity to improve and also gives Cartwright & Myler chance to fully evaluate where we are come the mid point of the season.
The noises coming from the club to me indicate that things can & will be changed should players of quality become available.
We still have to be realistic as to where we were and where we are currently, hopefully with the improvements at the club we’ll see an decent up turn in games which will help in terms of the next recruitment cycle.
But adding another average Joe if he is coming on say a 2year deal doesnt help at all in the next recruitment cycle.We are now overloaded with additions on 2/3 year contracts and several of those would have to be offloaded end of 2025 season if we are to add some necessary real quality and pace especially at centre,and add some depth in second row and front row
Just dont see the logic or strategy because unless we offload or pay off players then we are left with virtually the same squad we have in 2025 playing in 2026
If the club has money to spend then save it and find one or two top quality players who can provide some excitement on the field get fans interested again and start pushing into the top four
