we definitely need 2 more ready made starting props and one back rower that's our priority for 25. we also don't need projects squad fillers,and also need to offload some of the sick notes. the amount of players sat in the stands is killing our cap space

Fusitua -get rid
Donaldson - don't resign
Hudson- not played game get rid
warren not played a game - get rid
Max Simpson not played for 2 years - get rid
Gannon- talent but too injury prone one more year to prove he can hack it injurie wise or get rid.

Holdroyd- does not play enough -see out contract or get rid if cannot stay fit

Ruane great prospect - should be given game time with us not loaned out. hopefully his run at Hull is successful if he cannot break into that side then get rid.

A few others as well Newman needs to stay fit and start performing.

don't know what that equites to cap wise but that's at least 8 players (including martin) that could be gone and replace with 3-4 first choice starters.

Coming back to the topic, what we need in the first round of recruitment are a pair of Kylie Leuluai’s and a young Adrian Morley. Once we sort the pack out, the halves and backs will look better without recruitment there. If we only add three or four players in the coming off season, they all need to be starting quality forwards.

I don't have blind optimism Seth, I teach post graduate critical thinking for a living.

Ah but no Fruit on the Kylie tree this year...

Eseh jnr has signed for Hull for the rest of the season

Its not hypocrisy though is it when the R.S out brigade could see what was happening and were proved correct , whilst your optimism was so far from the mark along with Chris we thought you were Smith in disguise

Critical thinking is what lead me to my less than positive predictions about RS and the teams plight , maybe i need a change of career

I get accused of repeating myself, and yet almost nobody listens to what I actually say... hiding to nothing this board!

How did Eseh go with you guys? Looking forward to seeing him play for us as rated him at Wakefield. Couple big bodies added for us - badly needed

Jack Smith to Bulls till end of season.

Kieran Hudson to Fax till end of season.

Steady away. Did what was needed.

I`m in the minority here as I thought he did ok especially with his aggression in defence.
He could have made more yards for a prop but we are not entirely blessed with good yardage makers amongst our front row with the exception of Oledzki who has little aggression in defence!!

Not impressed, personally. Good athlete, likes to try to offload, but error prone, and has a pretty low work rate
