| Half this squad will be crapping themselves regarding pre-season - they best have plenty of sick buckets they are going to need them.

| Quote: leeds owl "I’m not sure we have enough strike in the backs to completely ignore their part in a so far poor season. The pack has obviously been the weaker of the two areas but to completely abdicate the backs of any responsibility would be wrong. If cap restrictions deem the pack is the only place where players move in/out that’s understandable, but my preference would be to strengthen throughout the team. Arthur may believe changes in structure, fitness, confidence and other small areas will give him a more potent back line and ultimately yield more points. My concerns are a sub standard kicking game, a lack of pace from distance and a lack of guile and strength on the opposition line from our current backs. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and if the pack becomes the only focus imminently then so be it, but I’d be happier to look at strengthening throughout.'" I'm not saying I'm totally happy with our backs ,I just can't see us having enough cap space to strengthen both pack and and backs.

| Quote: Seth "Would it? I like Martin but also not sure where we're going to get a reliable kicker from, and if he goes im not sure the back row options are sufficient as they are, we'd be putting a lot of hope in Gannon getting back on track.'" Hall incoming for Fuss Martin out going new prop Donaldson and Roberts monies maybe enough to bring someone decent.There will also be some upgrades our up and coming fringe players.

| Agree about players now dreading pre season bet it will be there toughest in years plus the BA effect will surely be enough to entice some nrl talent over seeing as he mentioned early in interviews that a few players wanted to follow him over surely it’s over to blease to make the space to make it happen

| I completely disagree about players dreading pre-season, I think they will relish it. You can see how Bentley and JoC in particular have been given a new lease of life by playing higher energy and moving up in the line. The RS method of sitting back will have been totally foreign to players, and I think they will feel unleashed with a new fitness regime meant to play higher intensity personally.
A couple of good signings to elevate the standard overall, and the return of a couple of long term injuries, and I think we could be looking pretty decent for 25. The Wigan game showed that this squad isn't as bad as we all feared, and that a full root and branch re-build isn't necessary IMO.

| Two props are absolutely necessary. Then a 2nd row for Martin. After that, it depends who if anyone we release.

| Kudos to Ian Blease for securing the services of BA in his first major deal at the club. The best available option on the market.
Let's hope his new player deals are equally as impressive.

Rhyse Martin is a Hull KR player for 2025 and beyond.
Arthur is a good appointment though. Rowley is a hero at Salford for finishing anywhere above 7th but that would get him the sack at Leeds.

| Personally not too happy with that if it`s true.
Eccles at London might be a good choice imo.

| Think most people on here agree ,including myself that the appointment of Arthur was a smart move. However unless thing change he is a temporary coach, not an ideal situation. Easier said than done, would be to appoint a top class assistant coach ready to take over if as expected Arthur returns to Australia. Reluctantly we have to face up to the fact that the playing squad in its present format is unlikely to win any silverware. Get the right players in next season and we may be able to win something. That is also Easier said than done, losing Martin is a big blow he had another top clas game against catalan

I’d second that, he has done remarkably well at London with one of the weakest and cheapest man to man squad ever assembled, really got them playing well above their ability, always been impressed with the Way London have gone this season lot to like about the way they apply themselves despite lack of talent. They will be no easy beats on Sunday.

| Exactly, we need to be laser focused on the game. They threw the kitchen sink at Leigh and played with a lot of heart and determination.
If we roll up expecting an easy game where going to get burned.
