| If Addy is definitely on his way I'd be happy to get Stuart Howarth in for a bit of cover. He doesn't break any pots, but he's played all over the park and done a decent job of it. Saints have told him that they won't take up the option to keep him next year, and apparently Mr Noble doesn't want him as part of his Salford revolution!!

I have to disagree. He is a poor player, evidenced by the fact that neither Saints or Salford want anything to do with him after this season.
Anyway, let's wait and see what happens with Addy first, hopefully we manage to keep him.

All sounds positive. Extra backroom staff, a squad of around 30 and another signing shortly.'"
It would be interesting to speculate if we had had the luxury of a squad of 30 and an expanded backroom staff this season where we would be sitting in the league now?
Could this be factored in FA's excel crystal ball

| I'd imagine that if we had those assets in place this season that we'd not have seen the poor run of form that has seen us drop from 3rd in the table to 10th.
The lack of squad depth was always going to be the main factor in how our season played out. An improved back room staff can mean that injuries can be better assessed and prevented rather than just be treated. Cummins will know what sort of back room setup is needed for success. He's seen it in operation already at Leeds. It also looks like the additional staff will improve the players coming up from the academy and mean we should see an improvement from the homegrown lads.

| Add the that the lack of respite from playing the form teams wigan, wire ,leed and then hudds a week or so later is going to be a killer for any team, if we had, had a lower order team in between them we may have picked up an other point or so, and us throwing games away.
But that's history now, can only look to the future

Hope the club keep Addy and Donno as otherwise things are shaping up well.
Just to consider the pack,
Props
Scruton, Nas, Sidlow, Carvell + possibly Evans. Still one short in my view but certainly moving in the right direction.
Back row
Olbison, Ferguson, Bateman, Walker, Roberts, Mellor + possibly Murphy = Not enough players, not enough size, no natural 13, not enough experience and/or grunt.
Overall, I say taken together, we look 4 senior players short of a pack that could realistically challenge for top 6.
I know there's a rumour about Kaufusi but add Donno and Addy into that back row mix and suddenly it looks a lot deeper. maybe not top 6, but certainly much better.
Feels like we're on a knife edge. A couple of re-signings plus a couple of further signings could see us really push on. Fingers crossed.
