We persisted with a passenger.

The million dollar question.
Who is available and who do the club buy?
No doubt you'll give a "wish list" of players who are under contract.

While we still have the funding millstone around our necks WRT the new stands, I doubt there will be any major money spent.

I imagine when/if the number of interchanges reduces and need guys who can play longer minutes. There was some talk early last year I think that we'd be going back down to 8 interchanges but it doesn't seem to have happened.

Carney

Sal should resign from this forum after that suggestion

I think it makes a real difference having some genuine footballing talent at loose forward. O'loughlin when fit is the best around for mine. He can bang in like an extra prop if needed and really play.

Without a doubt it'd be the way to go for me. As long has you get the balance right it can take a lot of pressure off the halves too.

WRT possible signings, remember when Brierley was the passing fad? He's done little for hudds whenever I've seen him, certainly nowhere near enough to make me not think we dodged a bullet there. Of course, he's still young enough to prove me wrong.

I was thinking the very same thing.
Although I have to say I did think we should have taken a chance with him when he became available.
Maybe Huddersfield are not playing to his strengths?
I do like the look of one or two of their forwards though as I am not sure any of our forwards can run the ball in with that sort of power and determination.

A passenger with (if you believe the stories) a very expensive contract that might not have been easy to buy out.

Thing is with GH's "nous & previous" id put money on there being some sort of get out clause in it he's well known for doing as such especially with imports so id be surprised if there wasn't one.
Im equally surprised we gave Delaney 5yrs & he's still here despite his regular injury issues.

Stevie Ward has all those attributes but he's used as a BR battering ram/tackling machine.
