I think next year will be difficult but there's no real way of knowing how well certain players will adapt or the form that others might find/lose next season.

I think that only really applies to young inexperienced players. Experienced players will usually show the same kind of skills and form they showed at their previous club whereas younger players always have the potential to improve. Dudson was a pleasant surprise for example and he certainly has the potential to improve. On the other hand Lauaki has been the same for us as he was for Hull. Average at best. Laukai is an experienced player who has done with his learning if you see what I mean. What potential he has, he already shows. We know quite a lot about Smith and so should know what to expect there. Green is a bit of an unknown quantity but he has big boots to fill.
The bottom line is I think if people are expecting revelations in the performances of the new recruits they will be disappointed.
