For the those who want rid of Senior he is one of if not the strongest with the best hand off in super league! and has produced and coached two wingers into scoring probably the most tries they're ever going to score in a season in Donald and Hall.

Season 2008 Donald plays outside Senior 21 tries
Season 2009 Donald switches wing 12 tries
Season 2009 Hall plays outside Senior 27 tries

Whoever you want as a replacement has big boots to fill!!!!

Senior has two more years I think!

He was also number 1 in 2002 and maybe 2003 I think

If Senior gets a new contract it will show a total lack of long term strategy.

If Senior gets a new contract it will be because the coaching staff deem him worthy of an extension. So by default they recognise what he brings to the party. They will also take into account the flip side of this and assess his weaknesses (being past his prime etc).

Alot will hang on his replacement. Is Watkins, the natural replacement, ready? Or what could be sourced elsewhere?

It wouldn't surprise me if Senior is wearing a Carnegie shirt next year didn't he start out playing 'kick n'clap'!

Without Godden!!!

On Senior he has been one of 3/4 stand out players of the SL era - Cunningham, Sculthorpe and Lowes being the others. A brilliant player and superb athlete - but the game gets faster every year and even a well oiled machine like Keith can only get slower - I would have him in the squad for support but I would be disappointed if he was starting every game next season.

Last year he was superb - his form this year hasn't been as good, although it still has time to reach the aforemention exhaulted levels.
