| Quote Ferdy="Ferdy"Some good points raised above,
for me to re structure the management has to go first IMO. I would not trust the current management team to do the right things with the changes.
I was quite shocked at how much behind the top teams we are at the moment. There are plenty of big names who should go but probably will get new contracts on past glories.
On the list of players to get rid of I think from sal, would agree with most of it but for me I wouldn't be too upset with jjb staying and I personally think peacock is worth another year.
There needs to be some big changes from top to bottom but not sure if they will happen.'"
If something radical isn't done what has happened at Bradford will happen at Leeds. It will interesting to see how GH goes about selling season tickets on the back of resigning Senior, Kylie, Kirke etc.

| Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"My issue will JJB is against top sides he doesn't hit - he get driven back in the tackle too easy - I agree re his willingness but that isn't enough to compete anymore. He would be a casualty of the need for culture change
On Buderus he was amongst the best last night - but McShane will not develop if he doesn't get game time - something he seems to be getting less and less of.
I would make Buderus assistant coach next year and see how he goes - it can only be an improvement.'"
From what I've seem, mcshane looks a very very good player.
Where was he last night?

I don't disagree with you at all, other than I personally wouldn't mind keeping peacock for 1 yr, but other than that totally agree.
But I can see some of these people retained. I don't want them retained but I can see it happening!

| The problem with this being, that the cream of what's available for next season is pretty much gone already!

Then GH needs to start making some offers that are difficult to refuse to the right players

When was the last time we signed a truly top class player at the top of their game?!
Webb? Lauitiiti?

| Pitts, Hauraki, Bailey would all be straight out of the door for me. Webb too im afraid cant rely on his fitness anymore and he wasnt the great player he once was. Seniors time was coming before the injury.
Like the look of the OP's team I would also put Kyle Amors name in there he has been excellent for Wakefield so far this year.

Not really convinced that amor is the answer for our front row future IMO

| A lot of unknowns and parentheses but:
BJB/Smith
Hardaker/Watkins/BJB
Top Centre (Cooper?)
Watkins/Smith
Hall
McGuire
Burrow/New young halfback/hooker for "competition". (Realistically GH not going to get rid of Burrow entirely in testemonial year)
Peacock
Buderus (McShane if Buderus gone)
Burgess (New top prop if Burgess gone. Carvell? O'Meley?)
Ablett
JJB
Sinfield
McShane (Hood if Buderus gone)
Delaney/Clarkson/Ward/Hauraki (if we're stuck)/Senior (if he gets the reduced new contract I fear he will)
Cross
Ambler/Amor
________________________
Essential priorities are a top centre and a top prop. Another halfback and a Lauititi/Eastwood difference-maker at second row (which was supposed to be Hauraki) are also required if possible.
I'm assuming the loss of Webb, Lauititi, Leuluai, Kirke and Bailey. Possibly Burgess, Buderus and Senior too. In which case we'll need more squad players and promote some youth and also to decide whether Amor and Ambler are going to make it, or whether to raid Wakefield for Johnson or Mariano. Ideally I'd be looking at players like Patrick or Watts, but realistically their clubs are not going to let them go.
And a new coaching team.

Long term your probably right but I from what I have seen this season I'd have him over Bailey and Cross for starters.
