Over to you Powelly. You've been backed more than any coach I've seen in recent history.

For my sake, your sake and the clubs sake, I hope you find success in 2023!

Agree with you on both counts.

So that leaves Gannon, Burgess and Wardle to be confirmed (or not) for 2023?

Where is Hughes going?

I think most will end up at Leigh

Best of luck to all of those players leaving. I wouldn't question the effort or application of any of those.

The Jack Hughes tale is a bit of a sad one. He was a powerful and dangerous runner, and we saw plenty of that in his early seasons, but somehow developed into a plodder.

We will see plenty more of Mulhern and Davis, I suspect, in the lower reaches of SL and top of the Championship.

Tbh, the jack Hughes we got was the jack Hughes at Wigan and Huddersfield, he was never a powerful and dangerous runner, which is why he got shifted to centre a lot.

And that is why , in recent years , players have been encouraged to find something to fall back on when their playing days are over .

The huge clear out is such a risk.
Are our newcomers any better?
Powell has really put pressure on himself with this strategy. No one knows how this will pan out.

Exactly, Smiffy, hence folk are mostly not very optimistic at the moment.

Unless it causes them to skip training

I am very much hoping that we not finished recruiting yet.
