I’m glad we we have changed approach. A long time coming. I can imagine a situation last year where we would be looking at most of our cap or budget going on Tom Burgess for 3 years.

Great news was hoping we’d get this one tied up.

Indeed it is, club trained talent and a managed pathway to the First Team squad are paramount to sustainable success

I'd be happy with adding Leyland and Hirst (as a project) to this years squad with Bruines, Wrench, Hayes and Thomas coming back from injury for 2025.

I do agree that our centres, while solid in defence. are pretty blunt in attack. Maybe Lindop will move into a starting spot with a full preseason for the first time at the end of the year.

One of our weaknesses for sure. Tai offers little in attack except for running hard, King has not had a great attacking game for as long as I can remember. For contrast imagine Jake Wardle with 13 assists (as an example) in our side.

The trust in the youngsters this season has been a huge plus for me this season and they haven’t let us down
