I have said before that we need a good clear out more so up front and there is also some backs that could be moved on too. I think it would be a big risk for Finn to make small changes to the squad with the hope that he can get more out of the current group of players, that said if he did then fair play to him. I would be looking to move on. Tibbs though he did play his best rugby when Finn was assistant so i could have my arm twisted for him to stay, Oakley for his own good needs to leave, Maizen like Tibbs i wouldn't mind if he stayed but it depends on who we could replace him with, Maher, Fleming, Murray, Larroyer could all leave for me, and it depends on if Finns wants 2 hookers in his match day 17 or not if i would keep Moore if he does then we need 3 in our squad if not then 2 will do. If we are not able to get O Brien on a permanent deal Amir bourouh contract is up at Salford he could be a option. Also some genuine competition in the second row for Kav who is not getting any younger and Gee.

We've certainly missed Gwaze and Barber this season and their intended replacements Doro and King didn't work out, as well as Maher and Kyle Wood easing off is like losing another player. Also we've missed Worthington's defence on the edges.

Need at least 5 new signings to plug the gaps.

SG’s final interview has a few comments on retention and recruitment and the state of the club so worth a listen.

Basically there won’t be wholesale changes but there will be some incomings and the majority have been done with a couple more bits of business to follow which according to him should give us a competitive squad in a competitive division.

The club faces some difficulties and challenges and he mentioned not owning our ground as one of them but it was in good hands and that was about it.

Huddersfield have just signed Thomas Deakin from Roosters who plays at 9 so could see A O’b coming free but even if he does there will be a few clubs interested in having him.

Sheffield officially announce their departing players:

"Josh Guzdek, Ross Oakes, Liam Kirk, Mikey Wood, Brandon Douglas, Matty Chrimes, Ben Sheils and Jason Bass will all be moving on to pastures new ahead of the 2024 season."

But no official "confirmation" that Fax have signed Douglas yet. Has he really been signed??!!
