To be fair to Wood he has come in midway through a season and then had to play in some pretty intense games at the end of the year. With a full pre-season and the ability to familarise himself with our systems and his fellow players he may go much better next year.

how about this?

Grix
Mcgillvary
cudjoe
wardle
broughton

lunt
wood
brough

kopczak
crabtree
ferres
lawrence
chan

bench-
kaufusi
patrick
robinson
bailey

could have bailey in for wood in the halves?
taai in for bailey on the bench?
robbo back to hooker
murphy to full back
bailey in for lawrence

plenty of options next year, and cover too

Depending how woody goes in preseason i can see this sort of lineup happening, maybe with Bailey starting and can see Ta'ai being much improved next year also.

I would like to see a few of our youngsters given a bit more game time next year.....maybe in the lesser games, players like Connor, Miller, Leeming, Blagbrough, Johnson, Mason etc...lets start developing these lads and not just throwing them in when we need them.

Much as I agree with you Daz next year will be extremely important if the restructuring plans are pushed through by the RL.league position will be paramount and experimentation may not be possible.

Id like to see Koppy coming of the bench after 20 minutes with another big forward to make an impact, not too sure about loose forward yet! Maybe swap robbo and wood as I liked robbo at hooker but don't know how wood would do at 7, but think we need to make maybe 3 signings for next season! Would love LOD to return!

which are the lesser games?? they didnt get much time at batley which i thought was the plan. also we rested the team against bradford which in hindsight was the wrong decision, we werent ready for the wigan game and ultimately threw away the chance of a grand final which i said at the time and proved right.

like bilko says league position is important next year. (thought the league didnt matter nowadays ?!)

relegation is back too i think!

yep losing taai was a blow but... we went into the wigan game undercooked though, anderson admitted that himself too that resting the players against bradford may not of been the best thing to do.

we could of won the wigan game and been in a grand final now!

all in hindsight, maybe a lesson to learn for next season.

liking the look of the Giants of 2014 already with bailey and kaufusi added

Would use this to start with. Introduce broughton and younger lads dependant on how these lads go!

Blagbrough has been released

really...thats a surprise if true... anderson rated him and he stood up well against bradford, someone must of offered him a deal?

It's true giants and no one else have offered him full time.hes gone to leeds uni and is talkin to 3 top 6 championship teams

Hmmm.....thought he had potential too.

looks like this could be next years line up...
