The average age of the squad that played on Sunday was 25.

From every interview Ive seen and heard, the body language etc, it just seems there is a bit of an air of stubborness which is one of the worst traits you can have as a coach.

It's another daft piece of PR by Cunningham, but I think he's right about our team's age/experience. The overwhelming majority of the squad is in its early to mid twenties, and we only really have Wilkin and Roby who you would call seasoned pros. A couple more experienced leaders would make a big difference to this team IMO (Paul Gallen would do nicely

).

But are we inexperienced? Yes we have some young lads but these lads been knocking around a while now and played in the pressure of play off rugby, semi finals, grand finals, wcc and even the more intense world series.

I think we needed to replace sia and manu with experienced players but we went with young lads. Those two going really left a huge hole in our pack in terms of experience.

I don't think we're especially inexperienced if you look at each player in his own right, but I think we do lack one or two of those players who have seen it all and done it all over a long period - the kind of player that is looked up to by his teammates.

I agree. We do need two players that have been there and done it. Warrington played a master stroke getting Gidley for two seasons.

I feel a good experienced prop who is a leader is a must for next year. Someone who stands up when back against the wall as comes up with them shots that lift the team.

we best roll out the red carpet for Mose then

Wouldn't surprise me if we brought that pudding back. He's our for full season so he will be pushing 30 stone next year so will be just typical of us to bring him over.

Will you pick him up at the airport, if you do don't use a Nissan Micra.

Need a trailer to pick that pudding up

I know I've quoted myself, but Daryl Powell would be great. If ever there was a saints-esq coach: it's him.

Not only the way they play, but he is a proven coach who knows how to build a team and improve his players.

He's not quite flavour of the month for some reason.

I like Powell. He learned his trade and always has great team spirit. Cas play good rugby and doesn't need large amounts of cash.
