So who do you chaps see as replacements from other Super League clubs? Which players are lined up as incoming?

For me, we only need a couple of astute signings to freshen things up.

Hopefully Mcdermott can improve the defensive discipline. We need to improve our play around the ruck. Wigan have been very clever at that this season. We haven't really adapted. We need to improve our attacking structure. Wigan attack with purpose to specifically create overlaps and isolate certain players.

We give the ball to webb, mcguire or senior and epxect them to sh*t miracles. They quite often do.

Smith can take donalds place on the wing and with a rugby league off season should regain his full athleticism. We'll miss peacock and mcguire but the extended rest will do them good. We need a centre on the right who can make stuff happen. Delaney is solid and would make a good second rower. Shift delaney into the 2nd row and sign a genius at centre (if anyone is avilable who fits the bill?). We need a big player at prop. A big signing. We rely too much on peacock and he's coming to the end of his career.

BIggest thing of all though, is how we set up and play. We need to start really controlling the ruck. I can't remember many, if any games against the top teams where we've genuinley had control of this area. Defence has been shot this season, tighten that up.

We haven't developed this season. Teams like wigan have made huge strides in the way they play. We need to do the same next season and evolve.

Theres nothing luike the enthusiasm of skillful youngsters to help rejuvenate a team.

all three should be given plentiful gametime next season.

IMO we need a new half back in the mould of Dobson,Briers or Brough to let Mcguire do what he does best being a support player. If we were to have 2 players with top notch kicking games then we would spend alot more time defending in the opposition 20 rather than are own 20 a new prop to take the burden off JP, a centre who can attack AND defend so both are wingers are able to score tries but I would settle for an extended period of Kallum Watkins if we were to get the other 2 which are the priority.

I dont know what players are available and im sure we would have to check out the NRL but we have extra space on the overseas cap now Eastwood and Donald are going.

Certainly agree that a tactical half back would be useful. Could the McDermott/McClennan combo be enough to calm Paul Cooke down!? The Paul Cooke of 5 years ago would be a welcome addition IMO, but the fact that no one seems to want to touch him with a barge pole (not even Bradford) maybe tells its own story!

Just hope the sleeve has something lined up, as every other team seems to have finalised their 2011 line ups -maybe we've left it too late

Which isn't far from what I was saying since the start of the year, but apparently was accused of writing off the team. Although two was never enough, unless you are purely talking about external signings? if so yes, but 4 or 5 changes were needed to that first 20, including promoting from within.
