is Goulding with out gleeson like gardner with out gidley ot lyon ??? so far this year i wud say yes

Yep me too...... if we want to keep goulding on the wing we are going to have to sign players like that. (which is fine by me!!)

Current Team v Next year
Sam Sam
Goulding Charnley
Gleeson NRL signing (I'd like Matt Cooper for a 1-2yr deal)
Carmont Carmont (He'll do another year)
Richards Richards
Finch Finch
Deacon/Tommy Mellor/Powell
Coley Prescott
McM McM
Fielden Fielden
Hoffman Hoffman/Hock
Tomkins Tomkins
Lockers Lockers

That might be a little harsh, he's still playing in exactly the same way he did last year making plenty of metres from dummy half and running the ball back fairly well. No winger can score tries without the ball. Has he even received a pass off Marsh yet? He might not be a threat in the air like some other wingers but that's the fault of the daft decision making from the halfbacks who constantly kick cross field to him when he's our smallest outside back. There's no point having a winger who costs more money when they still won't get the ball.

Coley has been our best prop for the last two years and has started this year in the same vain. Whilst ever he plays like this i would keep resigning on a rollling one year deal until HE decides its time. Getting rid isnt an option for me and attempts must be made to keep him on.

Best prop? Says a lot.

Wire have Morley
Saints have Graham
Leeds have Peacock

And we have a plodder.

Yeah said the same last season but our pack seemed to overachieve, perhaps our dominant back row makes up for it to an extent. To be fair if Hock's transition to prop goes well and Lima find his feet our pack might not look too shabby.

That plodder played a huge part in us winning the league last year IMO.

Our team last year proved that you need a unit not individually good players. None of our props are good enough to compete with the 3 names in terms of quality but in terms of hard work and doing their little jobs they are doing it right. Our pack dominated saints in the GF. Graham went missing and in the last 30 seconds he spent it walking away from the passage of play looking at the ground.

Graham does that on a yearly basis though, its tradition now.

From now on a beaten finalist's sulky face is to be known as the 'Graham Glare'

As mentioned previously, Prescott is going nowhere as he's in the first year of a 3 year deal.
What we do need are experienced centres. I'd prefer Carmont to stay if Gleeson isn't to return. A replacement this season for Gleeson is unlikely as all quality players have a club and are under contract.
Rather than bring too many in we need to sort out our best half back partnership and the situation with the 9 shirt.
I'd prefer Deacs to go 7 with Finch at 6. Also Tommy to 9 with Mic Mac off the bench. MM isn't up to the 80 mins at 9 yet so do we spell the 9 position or persevere with MM to get him up to speed?
The priority for the position where we really do need a player is right centre. That may only come next season though!
