How the hell can we keep Sangare - he is absolutely bloody useless !!!

All those confirmed to be leaving are OoC wiht the exception of Hudson who has asked to be released. I expect more to go, currently contracted for 25, and I really wouldn't be surprised if Sangare was one of them. Look at Goudemand for example, hasn't really featured under BA, he can clearly leave if he wants to.

Yep. This is part one, in my opinion. Part two is likely already taking place behind the scenes. Given the surgery that obviously needs to take place on the pack the fact that Arthur is openly talking about the need to recruit a ball carrying 3/4 does not bode well for Momirovski. End of year review could be like the last episode of a season of the Sporanos.

We just want to make sure whatever players we bring in, they are better than the players we’ve got…

That’s a very telling statement…

Hopefully they do just that, wouldn't be hard for some. Just hope 2-3 are much much better

I`m sure like others have said that conversations will have already taken place possibly with the likes of Momorovski, Sangare and Goudemand.
Maybe he`s told them he doesn`t see them playing first team and to find a club?
It is then down to the players to decide if they stay and continue to get paid or they get their agent touting their services for next year.
Could be why Momorovski has improved lately.

I wouldn't mind losing Momo, Goudemand and Frawley, but we have to get quality replacements otherwise we are just trading for more deadwood to move on next year.

Amongst all the talk of recruiting overseas players, what about the domestic market and out of contract players? Any decent players available?

Will be interesting to see who gets gk duties next term. The one facet of the game where we had a genuine world class incumbent. When we do score tries we generally move up in 6's. A big, big advantage.

Agree, given Goudemand has not made a team which has no props on the bench and Donaldson in it speaks volumes, he is on the outer.

Didn`t there used to be a prop in the NRL who could also kick goals?
I`m sure he`s retired now but that would be a buy one get one free solution.
Or a winger maybe?

Wasn't Hudson mentioned on here by some KaeruJim as being the next BIG thing? Or was he just another rubbish waste of money or will he turn out to be a great player for another club, Ormandroyd Trout etc.?

No

From the Hull press conference Arthur is after a strong running outside back and a prop at the minimum. The back doesn't make much sense unless someone else is leaving. I can understand it as we have no punch in the backs, which makes it hard for the halfbacks to create on top of having nobody to bend the line up the middle. But unless we free up another quota spot I'd be worried if we only get one new forward, as it feels the front row needs major surgery and not just tinkering.

If there was, the problem is they dont play anything close to 80 minutes
