If he's not on much and is maybe 6th choice prop then I've no real problem with Sangare staying. But I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves. Goudemand just wasn't big enough for the role we needed him to play - hopefully the mythical "middle" will be a thing of the past now. It will be interesting to see who else leaves. Might there even be a few shock departures to make way for the quality we need?

It sounds as if part of our problem is having a cap that is just way out of sync with players' ability. Martin leaving was probably part of fixing that up, as it will be a never-ending cycle of having to make do with some players unless we move on underperforming higher paid players. Martin was probably one of the few who was worth paying overs for, but assuming we're close to the cap we've some players earning far more than they could get elsewhere. Otherwise we wouldn't be finishing 8th and a long, long way behind Wigan.

Peter Smith now reporting Momirovski is off home to take up a coaching gig with the Chooks.

That to me means Conner and Sivo will n and that would be us done IMO

I guess that would be a good recruitment cycle, but I would still have liked a big bodied 2nd row to give us a big pack. I think collectively our current backrows are too small, but note either of yesterdays recruits can fill in at 2nd row too. A large out and out 2nd row would have complimented McDonnell / Gannon and Bentley.

I have concerns with Gannon because how is he going to avoid head collisions next year? Is he ruled out for the rest of the year as soon as he takes a bang to the head? I would love him to succeed but not sure how this will be possible.

If Sivo comes in as well, would there be much need for another prop/2nd row? Assuming the starting wingers are Handley and then Hall/Sivo rotation, you've got some big metres coming out of back play, hopefully taking the workload off the props (which are already looking a lot better). I wouldn't be complaining if they went and got another forward, mind.

Unless were looking at some UK based players?
