Not sure about "quite an overhaul"? Did get the vibes though that the club appreciate areas we are weak in, and that steps will be taken to try and address those areas - as you would hope. Nothing specific, nor would you expect anything until it happens, so I'd not read anything into it other than to take comfort that the club does see what the fans see - and are certainly not burying heads in sand like some would seem to want to believe. I'd expect this to be a message they seek to get out at the forum

I for one hope that we sign another halfback, and I guess you'd have to assume some upgrading of some of the younger players' contracts which would limit a bit the scope for new signings? I'm sure most of us are expecting/hoping a number of contracts not to be renewed, but you'd assume the players would be told first!

Whoever we bring in we need some leaders. This team is weak on leadership and oh, a goal kicker too.

Worrincy, Scully would be gone for mine.

I've lost patience with Worrincy. Nero looks to me like a man who knows he wont be here next season , although I have no info one way or the other. Reardon has disappointed me - I had him down as a very astute signing, but for whatever reason I've been proved wrong there so far. Rikki I like but I'm afraid would swap him in a better candidate appeared. Halley tries and can be quite good, but you keep thinking he's not big enough ad he has a few 'mares too.

Platt I want to keep - has been our best 3/4 this year and puts in a lot of effort. That pass between his legs last week, and stretching out for his try today, those sort of things make a difference IMO. Sykes keep for all round utility and home-grown value.

I've not written Scully off. Whether he gets a chance to play again, let alone show what he can do, is very much in the lap of the Gods I guess.

Koppy has improved with more game time. I'd keep him if practicable.

I'd agree with pretty much all that, apart from that if I was in charge, I would offload Sculthorpe at the earliest opportunity now.

"The club appreciate areas we are weak in". Did someone up high really say this without blushing to their core?

I'm not arguing the respective merits of certain players, many of whom have been predictably poor but I think the management and composition of the squad has been lamentable.

Kearney, Reardon and Sculthorpe have some of the worst injury records in world RL. Guess what? We sign them.

The regime that placed so much emphasis on youth development have conjured a situation where when the first choice scrum half is injured we have played a significant part of the season with a 19 yr old second rower at scrum half alongside a 36 yr old second rower or Paul Sykes (no description necessary).

My argument is that damning judgements of the likes of Kopzcak and Crossley is completely unreasonable in the context of the utter fiasco that has masqueraded for a coaching and recruitment regime in recent seasons.

I would definately let Nero go.

No they did not. They were my words, chosen in the interests of diplomacy. I'm not going to splash a transcript of a conversation across internet message boards.

Outs for me:
Worrincy
Nero (confirmed)
Sheriffe
Hall (linked with Cas)
Halley or Reardon, can't make my mind up but can't understand why Reardon has not been used at full-back when this is clearly his best position.
Menzies (ideally could be kept on for another season but he is quota) sos Beaver..

Nero, Halley, Sheriffe, Reardon, Menzies, Hall, Godwin, Platt, Worrincy, Sculthorpe, Crookes, Crossley.

These Hall to Cas rumours just won't go away, but why the hell would Cas buy out his contract (he still has 2 years remaining) when there are plenty of other second rowers kicking around that they can get for no transfer fee?

It makes no sense to me, especially given the fact that he's been far from impressive this season...

Do you think the club would ask for a transfer fee?

If I were coach, I think I'd be happy to release him early to get him off the wage bill.

Re: Glenn Hall.

Leave 10:20 Bradford Interchange Rail Station via Northern Rail
Arrive 10:39 Leeds Rail Station
Leave 11:00 Leeds Rail Station via Northern Rail
Arrive 11:18 Castleford Rail Station

Fair provided.

the worry is if we do a Feather and carry on paying half his salary, if what was reported was true...

Sheriffe. Not been good enough this year lost a lot of confidence.
Platt. Keep him he has done enough to ensure a place next year with the right coaching he will get better
Worrincey. No comment should become a florist, if he gets another year ill be gutted
Reardon. Struggling not good enough but I bet we got him cheap
Sykes. With better coaching will become a lot better
Hall. Needs another year
Sculthorpe Time out on poor Scully
Kopczak. He’s been a good player this year keep him.
Nero. Gone

If Hall goes, then someone must know he has the potential to get back to form. I never understand why people assume that
(a) Player X is irredeemably useless, but
(b) the coach and board of another SL club somehow don't realise it.

Hall in fact owes us a bloody good year. Let's not forget this was the guy who was pushing the legendary Menzies out of a GF winning team in the very recent past and finished his career in the NRL with a GF ring. Yes he has been a big disappointment but there may be reasons for that, that we don't know about.

Or else let's drop a similar bollock as I warned about with the superb Glenn Morrison, who's been tearing it up all season. How we could have done with him this year. You don't sign current NRL GF champions and then give up on them. I'd suggest Potter would very much like a crack at working with the likes of Hall.
