Got to agree with Doom in that we're definitely top heavy this season. We haven't got enough depth in the D for a championship winning side. As much as I rate Lee and Swindlehurst, I think too much is being asked of them at the minute, especially with the injury to Waugh. It's great having Ling back etc and I don't doubt the ability of our forwards to rack up points this season. However I can't see why we haven't added some more quality to our defense.

It's almost November and we still haven't replaced Peckham. Farcical.

Didn't someone say the cash had gone to keep Lacho?

Didn't someone say the cash had gone to keep Lacho? I thought Lacho was instead of import #13. I figured the original plan was 12 imports (inc Theo) and our warehouse full of Brits. Peckham drops out so they look for a replacement, get Wieds in for a bit, the defence is doing OK and Ling's free of his "issues" so we use the Peckham cash there instead. Just my take on it anyway, don't think we've had official word at all.

Sign a d man and Ling. To choose to play short is just daft. Everyone and I mean everyone knows that Panthers make a very healthy profit so we should be playing with a good Brit pack and a full compliment of imports.

With our injury record,the last thing we should ever have risked is going an import short.
Seriously,a half decent Euro Dman costs next to nothing in the grand scheme of things to Panthers. Say 20 weeks left at £500 a week,that's only £10k.
Put another way,it's only 800 match tickets,ten 50/50 prizes,seven game sponsorships or even just one shirt auction.....basically nothing really,it's ridiculous !

Well they just announced that there will be a announcement in the next Checking it out show so hopefully it's a player but doubt it.

The team is so good this year, I like all of the players individually. That's what makes it even more frustrating for me that we are choosing to play short. How good could we be???

With a full squad,we could be very very good.
But if we keep playing short,i don't want to hear "the guys are playing tired" excuse trotted out in the coming weeks !

There was a huge hint at the beginning of the night that we have signed someone and will be announced on the GM show.

Where was this hint? We are a good side while we play short others are logging more icetime therefore risking injury. We are treading a thin line. Frustrating is the word

We don't even need superstars. Our roster has enough skill and character.
We just need guys who play a steady game and allow shorter shifts for those putting in a lot of time.
At this stage I'd be looking at a short term Euro forward and defensemen but at least guys with potential to stay if they prove themeselves.

Well well well, Sheffield act quick to bring in cover for injured imports and sign Lawrence, now in the process of bringing in temp replacement for Plante... Why the hell are we playing so short, don't care what anyone says we need a 13th import and a temp replacement for Schultz as he wont be back anytime soon. Really annoys me tbh.

What exactly was said that gave the impression we were lining up another D? I have heard from sources close to the organisation that there is nothing in the pipeline.
