Quote: Gotcha "Oh, I am not agreed on when it comes to changes. But there is a difference between what I think, and what in reality is realistically possible.
They have already signed one prop, which was a necessity. I would rip up Kylie and Griffins contracts, and sign another one, but doubt they would go down that route.
A quality centre is an absolute necessity, and get our best backrower back to where he should be. In an ideal world, we could do with a centre that is not ony quality, but actually a fair bit of experience. We have excellent young backs who could do with a wise head around them.
I think competition needs to be put on BJB, as I think he is too inconsistent to warrant holding down a place. That is not to say he will not rise to the challenge and still maintain his place, but he needs competition, and I would start promoting somebody from the youth for that.
Our backrow as I have constantly said, IMO is at best average. That is not good enough for a top club. You need better quality than that. IMO Clarkson is better than JJB and Delaney this season, but does not get a look in, so the face does not fit. Ablett back there and the addition of a quality backrow is an absolute necessity. I have heard it said about getting rid of Ali too early. That IMO is rubbish, as Ali at this age was not the answer, we needed better than that. The fact we have actually gone backwards is more down to our own selection than missing Ali. What a difference an Ali of 4 years ago and previous would make to this side right now.
IMO we have three youth backrowers now that I would be giving a run out to. Foster, Baldwinson, and Tonks are certain stars of the future if we get them involved early enough.'"
Huge.. we needed to bring Ellis back which would help for next season big time. Does anyone know why we missed out? Agreed re Griffin and Kylie's contract... don't agree Clarkson has been better this season than JJB but each to their own. A class centre is a massive must, Ablett has got to get back into that pack.. Warrington's pack destroyed ours.. (Peacock apart). Delaney is solid but that's about it..
