London away was his best game.

Hurrell for me is always better defensively when Ferres is inside him. In the games when Ferres didnt play Hurrell always seems to running in and leaving massive gaps. Not as much when Ferres is there.

Some of fans at games tho are hilarious blaming Ferres for us conceeding tries on right wing when Ferres is 30 yards away. Hes really a big scapegoat for some. If Merrin gives a penalty away its fine and dandy but if Ferres gives one away you can see veins about to pop on some people.

That said its time to free up some cap space and move on i think if only to stop some fans having heart attacks at games

I think now merrin has committed again we all need to get behind the squad now I agree with most that the recruitment is disappointing but let's hope we get through the season ok next year and then by 20w1 we should have two over seas spots open and some decent signings then.

I still wouldn’t be surprised if we still lost Merrin before or during next season; we’ll see. Having a child is pretty hardcore if you’re away from family.

She’s coming back with him.

In all honesty I think he means away from family as a whole. They’ll both be in the UK. However I do agree, I do believe he will see another year out now, he would struggle to get the money he’s getting here at the moment.

I cont see how his heart will be in it like it should be. He couldn't find a club after Leeds had granted him permission to to seek. I think he will still be searching

I dont think he actually wanted to leave because he didnt want the challenge or disliked Leeds, it was more the fact of the horrendous family issues off field that would have caused a re-evaluation in his life as it would anyones in that situation.

He'll no doubt have his agent trying to drum up a deal in the background (no issue with that) hopefully for year after, giving a few NRL teams the heads up and a chance to move some cap around. If we have him pegged right, he'll see this year out no issues.

The club does have some good credit in the bank WRT looking after players who are struggling with issues and im sure there will be a hardworking team behind the scenes making sure that away from the pitch there is plenty of help if the struggles flare up.

We should be shopping Peteru around, so we can bring in Prior. Need a proper hooker, even at 32.

Irs to Merrins credit that he performed the way he did with everything he went through last year. A total professional.

Leeds gave him opportunity to find a club prividing it was done quickly and ge honoured that. Something my still happen but in my opinion Merrin wint be an issue whether he stays or leaves.

Couldn't agree more

Prior is a prop.

Need a propper prop I think he means

Unfortunately does work like that, because Prior is on the overseas quota, whereas Peteru isn’t. Merrin, Cuthbertson, Lui, Martin, Seumanufagai are our quota players.

I think it looks like we are going to start the season with the squad we’ve got and look to move players on/bring some in mid season as players fall out of favour and become available

Its early days yet. There is plenty of time to bring players in.
