Don't think charnock is good enough, especially if we sign pryce. The reason he's looking to leave saints is due to a lack of first team rugby. I don't see him as a hooker, as we need to start recruiting players for the positions they're suited if we're going to get anywhere, and we need a much stronger pack so loose is out of the question.
IMO we need an experienced hooker. A Micky higham (if only) type player. Someone who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and guide us from the play of the ball. Too many times do we get a quick play of the ball in good position and go the wrong way or get a slow ball out.
The pack needs strengthening that's for certain. Some big, mean, hard hitting forwards. Every other championship team has plenty who run through us! Featherstone kicked us to death, because they knew our forwards couldn't make up the metres. Pitts isn't good enough, no more of these 'ball handling' back rowers. We need a big, mean pack to punch some holes in the opposition. Olbison and mellor just qualify really.
That and another strong, steady centre would be a great start for next season...if there is one.

I think the negativity about Caro comes as a result of his languid style. Not deserved really as you say. That said I think that Clare is better and Ryan scored some tries late last season that Caro would not be able to score. E.g. the long range "in and away" vs Swinton, the step between two covering players vs Fax and the ones where he chased a lost cause kick to score tries
I think the competition between the wingers can only to be good for the side, and yeah, there is quality in abundance so whoever gets the nod will need to be on top form to keep their spot. Just as it should be, in fact.
My opening wingers would be Clare and Ryan, but I certainly wouldn't moan if Caro were involved.
