I wouldn't mind Michael Worrincey coming back on a months loan to give Whitehead a bit of a rest, maybe Saints away this week and Warrington at home in a few week,and maybe Wigan away at a push

Why could Gower not have left London last month? We would still be in the CC. Another Aussie half back unable to settle???

We can dream. I'd be amazed if he came back.

Well he would have had 1st team games here, not played one yet over there. His twin is taking all the headlines!

How olds his twin?

Same age as him

Could've been an extremely long labour

Good OP which clearly outlines the problem and lots of good posts.

Given the scale of the decimation of the squad, which let's remember only finished mid table without the points deduction, there's a case to say we've massively overachieved with numbers at FC's disposal.

The squad is a minimum of 5 senior players short and given that some are suggesting some others should be released I'm keen to hear some realistic signing prospects.

Dont think the squad is that bad TBH, we all know its small but its no worse that what wakey, cas or KR have is it?

Think we need some new back room staff starting with a defensive coach and we really need to cut out the stupid mistakes and giving other teams easy yards with ridiculous penalties, how many times have we kept the oppo in their own 30m then given away a daft penalty on the last tackle and allowed them to gain 30+ easy yards.

We are our own worst enemy alot of the time and i has to stop.

Excluding Chase Stanley I would have thought the signings I suggested are reasonable. May not be massivley experience but helps us in the positions we need.

I agree with your post though mate

Sure there is a list somewhere with all the OOC players on it....we could do with some seasoned veterans, who can put in the hard graft when the mistakes do arise.

EDIT found it in an earlier thread, not sure which have re-signed for their respective clubs, or joined other clubs, only one im positive of is Tuson- Cas.

Even though Wakefield announced his signing yesterday?

Tom Burgess will not return to us. He's making far too much progress over in Australia and has been likened to George, who is currently playing very well and even starts games for South Sydney. I would assume Tom will be in the first team at South Sydney next year or sooner.
