Agree with Batley.
We badly need an established first choice prop at priority #1 now

Heard you're one of the clubs interested in Jack Brown from Hull. Not sure hes what you need though, another small middle.

Wouldn't suprise me.
RS seems to love his small middles

That's what she said.

Replacement for Donaldson

Goudemand,Ruan,Bentley,Gannon,McDonnell and maybe Martin. We don't need to replace Donaldson, we need to replace Tetevano/Walters, Fusitua and if unlucky,Martin.

We have lots of workmen,need some thing else from any incoming and not more of the same

Holroyd is the enigma for me when he came back he looked every bit a prop should be tough a bit nasty with it but now he's like a shadow of that player has he been told to not be aggressive like Bentley im told the coach wants his players to be competitive but no more.

Spot on.
We had 2 strike players in Hurrell and then Macdonald to be replaced by a workhorse who isn`t working very hard!
We need a Sironen or a Fitzgibbon type second rower imo and a prop who can run hard.
Tom Davies would have been ideal to replace Fusitua.

Completely left field thought here.
But could Frawley play FB with Miller playing in the halves?
Just a thought.

Miller needs to start playing like its 13 a side not sevens, if he can do that he will be fine. Frawley just shouldn’t be at the club.

Frawley isn't great but even the best would struggle behind our beaten pack with a coach that wants you to play like a forward.

Are you joking? Have you seen him run?

I think the players we have are fine. It's the defensive tactics that are the issue. I'm not too bothered about unstructured attack, we're not getting in enough attacking positions anyway, because we're allowing teams to stroll 70m up field every set, resulting in us starting our sets on our own line. I just don't understand the logic behind it. RL is about controlling field position, but we seem to be happy surrendering it.

Agree Jack. I didn't rate Frawley, but until he's played games where we've got field position its hard to judge him too harshly. Croft isn't exactly setting the world on fire either, and he definitely is a good player. Momirovksi looks a shadow of his former self, but maybe needs a bit more time to get going, and again is in a team constantly playing at the wrong end of the field. Miller I think would be doing far less crazy stuff if he wasn't needing to look for miracles every play - he didn't do that in the NRL.

The problem is the forwards. We lack a bit of size and power, but that was always the case looking at our squad. The bigger issue is the way our forwards are playing, and even if we had different players would they look much different? The defensive "strategy" is pants, and has been for over a year. We're getting mullered right down the middle of the field and losing ridiculous yardage on every set. That's down to attitude and the way they are being asked to play.

We're looking only marginally better than last season despite laying out big money for a new spine, who are wasted because of where and how they're getting the ball. If Smith doesn't address that then its not new players we need as much as a new coach. And that really pains me to say because I like a lot of what he's done at the club.

So did Daryl Powell back in the day. But it replacing him with uncle Tony took leeds to the top.
