| I always say your forwards determine how many points you concede and your backs how many points you score.
With that being said I think we need to improve on the scoring part. Our stats this season vs last back that up. Wigans look comparable to our 2009 though.
We lack the spark in the 3/4 we've been used to over the years. Remember the deep line breaks what happened to those? Everything pretty much comes through Danny. There's no point going out and signing another do a job delaney just for the sake of it but if quality is/was available we should have a look. Maybe Wakins can provide said spark he still needs to have his full "fringe" year a la Smith and Hall had.
I think CC final highlights that in the fact that King and Atkins are a better combo than we have, in fact best combo in the league?
Forwards I'm less worried about but if someone becomes available then so be it. If JJB and Ali can find some decent form for next year they'll be like new signings. Ambler, Amour get a more important role.

| Nice position to be in, even without Eastwood and Donald we are still very strong and we will have space in the cap if any quality becomes available

42170_1280565797.jpg Rule 1. I am always right.
Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |

I agree, says something about the squad that we could comfortably lose both of these players and still have a squad that is easily capable to challenge for trophies.

Neither of them is a half-back !!
Besides not sure we need either of those two unless they are going to offer us anything above and beyond the current squad members....and I don't think they do.
Clarkson and Ambler are both at least as good (from what I have seen) IMO.

Prop maybe...but we have Ambler (especially) and Burgess (less so) to adequately cover the first 3 choices.
I [idid[/i think we should prioritise a good quality centre: Senior is still our best but 'knocking on'; Delaney is probably better placed in the back row and Smith will never make a top quality centre (appreciate he made England selection but that's more a refelection of the dearth of quality in SL...although Atkins is vastly improved it seems and Shenton should further improve playing with a similar top quality side).
Watkins might be one answer of course; BJB and/or Hall might be another ?? That still leaves us with a pacy winger then to find of course ??
As the ideal Broughton
Burrow and McGuire have a good few years left has a partnership, signing a another half back for mine would be a waste of cap space.If a half back signed is for cover only then the quality isn't probably going to be that great.If as you hint you want a replacement for Burrow then that signing will have to be top quality which then could see Burrow leaving so we then would be back to the same cover at half back.
I would like another top prop to take some of the work load off JP.

I think there is a very good player in him but he isn't showing it at present.Maybe be all the hype and his improved contract he thinks he's already made it.Moving to a big club may bring out the best in him.

| Wouldn't touch Westerman.
No need for a half back. We're very blessed there.
No real desperate need anywhere but maybe another prop with a big work rate, especially as Peacock will likely miss a month or two at the start of next year.

| Prop.
Apart from thaty my preference would be for a world class attacking centre to replace the threat Senior has given us for so long. I don't really think Delaney has made any advance on Smith who was just adequate at 3 going forward. If Kallum Watkins develops then I'll be happy, but I would have preferred us to keep Smith last year and not sign Delaney, who is frankly average in attack. These days it's difficult to be able to afford two top class centres, but when Senior (probably) calls it a day at the end of next year we won't have one unless Watkins really comes on fast. I also appreciate that the likes of Senior don't come around very often in English RL, so maybe I'm being unrealistic.
