Now that we are 99% safe from the drop( unless London decide to win 100-0 over there next 2 games and we lose) wonder how everyone sees our 2020 squad looking like. If I'm thinking realistically I think our squad next year will be.

1. Walker
2. T.Briscoe
3. Newman
4. Hurrell (NFT)
5. Handley
6. Lui (OQ, NFT)
7. Myler
8. Cuthbertson( NFT)
9. Dwyer
10. Seumanufagui(OQ, NFT)
11. Merrin (OQ, NFT)
12. Ablett
13. Ward
14. Martin (OQ, NFT)
15. Mellor
16. Singleton
17. Crosby
18. Peteru (NFT)
19. Oldezki
20. L.Sutcliffe
21. Golding
22. Smith
23. Mclelland
24. L. Briscoe
25.
26. Holroyd
27. Trout
28. Mustapha
29. Johnson
30. A.Sutcliffe
31. Waite-Pullan
32. Dupree

I'd like to see us Possibly Release or sell the following.
T.Briscoe, Myler, Cuthbertson, Singleton, Ablett, L.Sutcliffe, Ferres, Crosby, Peteru,Golding, L.Briscoe, Donaldson, Albert, Lunt

I know for a fact that we will not get rid of all them for 2020 but for 2021 I hope all of the list I've put our out of out squad because they really aren't good enough for a top 5 team and that's where we want to get back to. Wouldn't mind keeping T.Briscoe been one of our form players this season, give Crosby a second chance to see if he brings anything to our pack if not he should be moved on, and I'd give Donaldson another contract for his efforts this year hasn't really let us down and won't demand thousands and thousands.


We probably won't bring in many more recruits for next year if any, but for 2021 we need a class half back and another go forward prop.


I wouldn't mind if Agar got the job for next year just to keep steadying the ship which he has done since May, but for 2021 would like to see is have a well know coach with good pedigree.

We'll have to wait and see how next season plays out now and see what Sinny has up his sleeve.

2019 mid season outs: Mullally, Walters, Ormondroyd, Watkins, Parcell, Lolohea
2020 outs: Ablett, JJB, Albert, Golding, Donaldson, Lunt, Singleton, Ferres. McLelland (loan to HKR).

Is Mclelland to Hull KR an actual thing?

It’s a rumour and on the grand scheme of things, KR only have Abdull and Lewis next season so it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Those lists show how much work still needs doing to get us ready to be challenging for top 3.
Personally id happily lose Singleton T.Briscoe L.Briscoe Golding Peteru Ablett Albert Jjb Ferres Donaldson & Lunt.
Also get rid of Agar & get a new Coaching set up recruited with the Head Coach allowed to pick his own staff & IF Sinfield stays get him in the Biard members seats & away from the Coaches on match day.

Need a quality 9 unless Johnson is ready for week in week out sl. Can't see dwyer doing 80 every week successfully

Drinkwater?

One year deal not been renewed as of yet.

A bit if momentum gathering about Gale to you lot . I personally think it would be crazy as would involve a fee and he would command a huge salary and hasn't really played for 18 months plus wrong side of 30 and you have Myler and Lui 2 established halves. Though apparently you're trying to get shot of Myler. 2 years ago I'd have been mortified to lose Gale but the show goes on and surely he won't improve from here on out. Begs the Question what happens to Myler unless there's a possible swap deal line up?

I dont think the salary would be huge. It would be a decent salary but not huge. If the deal was right I'd take him no doubt. But the deal would need to be structured around injury etc and give Leeds a get out

Guys, whilst we all appreciate that there must be changes for us to get back up there again, we should also remember that we’re talking about people with feelings and families.

Let’s discuss but also be respectful.

Also salary cap exemptions for him previously playing internationally and being a home grown player.

I wouldn't touch Gale. Fine player in 2017 but two bad injuries back to back would be taking a huge risk on him staying fit and also finding his form pre injuries.

That said i do hope he gets back to his best with cas they were a joy to watch.

Number 1 priority for me. Theres a chance Corey could get a game next week but he isn't ready for week to week in SL. Hes a terrific kid and he shouldve been given a few games off the bench this year to bring in on and feed him in. Its hasnt happened due to 1st teams problems. His time will come though.

Need a top class, tough tackling number 9 from somewhere.

FWIW I wouldn't be surprised to see Ferres given another year despite the almost unanimous view that he'll leave.
We need a prop and a hooker already, we'd also need a 2nd row were he to leave and I'm not sure whether we'd have the cap to cover all those adequately. Needless to say, Ferres would need to be on much reduced terms though I'd assumed this would be nailed on.
