Agree with both of you. I think three (Momirovski, Sangare, and Goudemand) will leave and we'll look to bring in 4 players - 2 props, a second row and a wing/centre. The big thing is - all those signings would have to be very good players, and one would have to be a non quota player. Not an easy task for Blease. Also think that pre-season is a huge opportunity for young Sinfield. We don't have a goal kicker and our first choice half is no more than solid, so destiny is calling him if he has the talent.

This season was an unmitigated disaster. Edgell and Lumb could be a couple of shining lights for next season but apart from that there’s nothing at the moment to look forward to. I was disappointed with last nights display, I wouldn’t say we looked any better than the first game of the season under Smith where we lost by the same margin. It’s pointless going through individual players weaknesses because we’ve been doing it all season, but if anyone thinks a tough pre season under Arthur is going to improve the majority of this squad they’re kidding themselves. Smith will still be as slow as the slowest prop in the league, Frawley will still have the worst kicking game in Superleague and the forwards (if retained) will still be powder puff. I await Gawry’s email with more cynicism than ever

Everyone thought we were light in the forwards before the start of the season and then had 2 of the first team effectively miss the season with concussion. How Holroyd and Gannon come back will be vital as we can't have them missing huge amounts of games anymore. The last couple of games have really shown the weakness of the front row, with Handley and Miller out there's no yardage made in tackles early on in a set and we proceed to go nowhere then the props get their turn.

Big first recruitment cycle for Blease, it's what he's been brought in for and needs to deliver.

If the aim is to re-build that Murray pack, it is going to take one hell of an off-season.

I mean, that pack contained Fleary, Farrell, Newton, Morley, Glanville and McDermott. They would struggle with the latest protocols on tackle height, no doubt. Let's not forget the RFL letter to Leeds warning us about our style of play in those days - inconceivable now.

To think that the only player who comes close in our team is James Bentley, just sums up what opposition forwards must think of playing us. Tbf, McDonnell has the right attributes, not sure about the others. I like Oledski a lot but he comes across as too much the gentleman professional.

Agree with much of the above. We certainly can’t just spend our way out of it, it needs to be combined with top coaching and development of quality young players. We’ve not done enough of that for several years.. this season has been a bit of a shambles and the appointment of Rohan has set us back a couple of years. There’s a hell of a lot of work to do
