The general opinion seems to be we need another 5 or 6 players to consistently step up to SL level.
any thoughts on realistic targets that would fit in and not disrupt the excellent set up we have ??

I would look at bringing in 2 experienced half backs. Riddy needs pressure on him and Brierley may leave. Don't know who is available - maybe ask about Gaskell at Bradford or look at Australia. We need them though.

WYSI , I agree with you about Lee Gaskell , a very good lad , and I hear Lance Hohia could be available from Saints . .

Not so sure about Gaskell, he flattered to deceive a bit at Saints and hasn't pulled up any trees at either Salford or Bradford since. Don't get me wrong he's a decent player but his decision making following a break is often found wanting a bit. He's also not very vocal on the park. I don't think we should be looking at 'decent' players, we need to be looking at good ones.

In my opinion, a second Full Back wouldn't be bad. Just to give McNally competition. On the half back topic, a name that comes to mind Matty Wildie from Wakefield. For a sort of marquee signing, there may be a possibility of Chris Riley being available if he continues to be out of favour with Wire. As for Gaskell. He is SL quality and if anyone can bring out the best in players it's us so he's worth taking a look at. Thoughts? Also the appeal of joining us next season will be too good to pass up after the season we've had and the direction the club is going so now's a better time than ever to get some SL talent into this great squad.

Lance Hohaia would be an amazing signing. But I fear for Riddy's place if we somehow get him.

Martin Ridyard showed at Leeds that he is well capable of mixing it with the best. Why are you suddenly writing him off?

Anthony Thackary from Dewsbury. Best 7 in the league. Riddy best 6 outside of SL great partnership. Presuming Ryan goes but I'm not 100% convinced he is a SL half back. Good pace and support play. Goes missing a lot.

Thackaray was outstanding on Sunday. Bossed the game for most of it.
However he is far to inconsistent for me. We already have one of the best in this division as cover for both young Ridders and Ryan.
His name is Liam Kay.

Prop, second row, centre, half back/hooker, centre/wing/FB
Mc nally
Higson
Centre
Armstrong
Kay
Ridyard
Brierley
Spencer
Beswick
Wilkes
Goulden
Haggerty
Barlow
Emmitt
Penky
Sarsfield
Acton
Pitman
Pownall
Plus recruits and academy move ups
That's a pretty balanced squad imo, sarsfield pushing for a start keeping pressure on TG/KH plus two recruits in pack, maybe need another prop

Im not writing Riddy off , I think Martin has a very valuable contribution to make to next years Squad , Hohia can play in BOTH halves position , and has played at Full-back and Centre , some don't rate him , I do , but im not a Coach .

| If you want to hear what Paul thinks about the skill level Riddy has then just watch LCTV, as the presentations have been uploaded and Riddy is In some VERY SPECIAL company on the stage  I had never seen Riddy look so humble but well done all the same Joe sorry Martin |
