So out of our five loan players from last season in the Championship , two have now dropped down to L1 on new loans, two have left the UK altogether after being released by their clubs! Only Ryan Giles is still playing in the Championship, on a new loan to Cardiff City. Leads me to the conclusion that the RUFC recruitment team didn't do a very good job last season regarding the standard of player that was needed. Let's hope that they have got it right this time around, although it's a bit too late in a way.
Watched the football highlights of L1/L2 yesterday . I was amazed that even the most lowly club seemed to have great players on loan from the Premier League. I'm not sure what it is about RUFC that makes it so difficult for us to attract that kind of talent. It can't just be money, as a lot of those clubs will be able to afford far less than us.
