I always say your forwards determine how many points you concede and your backs how many points you score.
With that being said I think we need to improve on the scoring part. Our stats this season vs last back that up. Wigans look comparable to our 2009 though.
We lack the spark in the 3/4 we've been used to over the years. Remember the deep line breaks what happened to those? Everything pretty much comes through Danny. There's no point going out and signing another do a job delaney just for the sake of it but if quality is/was available we should have a look. Maybe Wakins can provide said spark he still needs to have his full "fringe" year a la Smith and Hall had.
I think CC final highlights that in the fact that King and Atkins are a better combo than we have, in fact best combo in the league?
Forwards I'm less worried about but if someone becomes available then so be it. If JJB and Ali can find some decent form for next year they'll be like new signings. Ambler, Amour get a more important role.
I think centre's a really weak position in Super League. It remains the most obvious mis-match position up against the Ockers as well. Leeds are far from being alone in struggling to find real top class in that position. Top quality English centres are rarer than unicorns at present.
