And yet it's mostly the same team that won the treble, so the players ability isn't really the issue on the whole.

As I said, we need a hooker, it's a big gap that Falloon hasn't filled. Other than that it's really only squad depth eg Achurch that the recruitment needs to look at.

Wish I had applied for copyright protection on that one now. A shilling a pop. Yes really.

Did you mention 92 days first or did I?

....yes I remember that now.

Let's not be too harsh on GH: he has hardly had much prior warning of needing to consider the replacements that might be required now has he?

First priority is a quality game manager pivot at standoff
Second is a quality hooker

Sutcliffe is currently not a 6 and should be given time in the centres or full back otherwise his utility value should keep open a position on the bench.

At the end of the season I would review the individual performance of all the squad particularly those senior players that have been so bad in the first half of the year. We now have good cover for most of the backs positions

I created the figure on one of my many spreadsheets and first used it at 12:10am Sat 7/5 on page 2 of the Season over official thread. I've seen you use the same figure since, first occasion later on the same thread - page 7. If you got there first then bravo even if I missed it.

I never believed the evil twin rumour but you can never be sure.

Hooker and Halfback are our main priorities for next season so would be happy if we were to sign Gale and Segeyaro. I'm not sure who else would be available in other positions. I'd like to see us keep hold of Ferres really because give him the service and he would be a quality edition like he was for Huddersfield and England. Galloway has started to come on much more in the past few weeks which is good for us. Wouldn't be surprised to see Watkins at fullback and Keinhorst given the centre spot.

That would provide better balance to the team and if you could add a pacy back rower that would be even better.

Isn't Ward a 'pacy back rower'? I don't disagree with the requirement, but an important part of any recruitment will be letting go some players who simply can't make the cut any more through injuries? Every few years we seem to end up with stockpiles of average forwards.

Segayaro is quite simply not the same player he was before he broke his arm. He was poor last year and worse this year. IMO even bringing him over as an emergency would be problematic as he'd undoubtedly want a long contract. The article I read said Leeds still want Farah.

Can't say I know whaen he broke his arm, but Segayaro was brilliant last year in the games I saw.

Rat Boy is Wigans Lenighan confirmed it when they signed him last year

I see Sutcliffe as a great potential lock. Seems to run smart line on the fringes. Works better individually then he does when he's attempting to bind a team.

Segayaro was rubbish last year. He was fantastic in 2014, poor to ordinary last year and poor this year. There's a reason why he's been dropped and told to look elsewhere. I never understand the logic that somehow Leeds signing someone could make them regain form they haven't shown for a while.
