I really think we need to have a big clearout, and some changes need to be made e.g. Dorn should be at Fullback as we have missed McLinden at Fullback.

Wells - OUT
Gafa - OUT
Sharp - OUT
Gardner - OUT
Heckenberg - OUT

We need to get a decent try scoring centre, a solid all round winger, a good playmaking half-back, and a pack strong forwards which make good yards and a team that overall stays fit.

Can't see it happening thought!

He dareth say that the worst winger in Superleague Jon Wells isn't good enough - BUT HE'S SUCH A GREAT BLOKE.

I didn't say he was bad but he isn't good either these days you need pace and Jon Wells hasn't got any. He makes far too many errors and we need some change.

I totally agree with you. In fact for many years he's been a winger who doesn't score any tries.

Absolute nonsense, Wells was given a two year contract when at the time he should have been released and his salary given to a proven strike winger that every other club in Super League has apart from Quins RL. What good would putting Wells in the reserves do - it was a moronic decision to offer him a new contract pure and simple.

i dont mean put wells in the reserves i mean build other wingers up in the reserves instead of doing your idea of just buying new players finding out they're sh*t. Wells may be losing his ability to keep up with other wingers but we have to make do

The idea we should get rid of Sharp is ridiculous.

Over the season:
4th in metres made
3rd in carries made (only Jamie Peacock and James Graham have made more and they are props)
2nd in tackle busts

We have to make do because the club moronically offered him a two year contract when he was past it at the time.

I'd agree. I'd have Sharp at Wakefield.
and we ahd Wells a long time ago. Good but by no means great and has lost it now.

Melling is fine at FB, but we need a different 'style' of player to partner Dorn/Orr/Gale in the halves.

Sharp must stay, Wells is a little over the hill but could be invaluable as a coach with his experience.

1 more year for Sharp then he'll be done if he continues in the same manner. Dorn out too. I have been saying this since we signed him and its interesting to see how every week more and more people agree that he isn't good enough.

TBH, I wasn't that bothered when he left for Salford "to win trophies" icon_lol.gif .....
He is a support player that will score tries, but he is not, never was and never will be a play-maker. Oh...and that cross kick worked once, so he feels the need to do it EVERY game rather than take a tackle.

I would have thought what you need to do is sign a couple more players to bring in, not offload players. Throughout your tenure in SL you have struggled to get players interested in your club, though I reckon a top-6 finish would change that. Either some talent from the academy or a couple promising signings is what you need, not less players.

I think Wells is a fine fullback, but he offers little on the wing these days, which is a problem, if he's not going to be selected at fullback he probably shouldn't be selected at all (but then we're not overwhelmed with classy wingers).

Sharp has looked very nervous this season, he's great as a broken field runner, but I get the feeling he's likely to spill the ball everytime he's tackled, either that or he'll throw a wild pass rather than accept a tackle.

Dorn is a strike player, that's all, and he's out of sorts at that, so that's pretty much his entire game down the pan. Gale likes to dart about a lot, which is good when Orr is controlling things, but not so good when nobody is controlling things.

Gafa's peformances this season have gone down hill, the last two games he's been shambolic.

The highlights have been home grown, LMS tried his heart out on Saturday, as did Lamont from the bench. I think Clubb showed in spells why he could be a top quality, wide running second row, rather than a stand in crash ball centre.

At prop Haggy is fine as an impact prop, but Ward and Hecks look plodding in comparison to LMS and Temata, who are both more mobile and have greater stamina. Realistically we need to get rid of one of Hecks and Ward (probably Hecks given his injuries) and get someone a bit more dynamic.

All I ask is:
Get Clubb in the second row to give us a running game in the forwards. Get rid of Gafa and get another centre to partner Howell next season. Bring in at least one quality winger.
Get rid of Dorn, keep Gale, and bring in just one half decent organiser to take the weight of Orr.

I don't ask much do I? icon_lol.gif
