| When you look at the quality leaving the club, and the quality left, it really is concerning for next season.
Props, we are dire in this department. Our best is probably Havard, and as well as he's played, he can't carry the rest of them and is still a number of years from being at his best. The rest offer very little.
French (potentially), Tommy and Hastings going leave a huge void, genuine quality and up there with the best in the league.
Centres - Gildart, on form he's international standard. The other side is Hardaker or Bibby, neither are exceptional at centre. That leaves us with no specialist centres.
Wingers, we have Marshall and Bibby contracted. Mandfredi seems to be improving, if he can stay fit I'm sure the club and himself have an agreement if he reaches certain criteria.
So we are first choice fullback short, we have 3 wingers if Dom signs, 2 of them recovering from serious knee injuries and no out and out centres. We will be 2 x half backs short for next year (Smith hasn't done enough for me yet to consider him first choice). We have not one prop that any other top club would want in their team.
Obviously the club will be working on all this and try to keep things under the radar, so we will have to see.
I've tried to lay off Lam, but his coaching really now is under the spotlight. We have probably had a handful of 80 minute performances under his tenure.
IL and KR have some serious work to do and big decisions to make.

how? If you mean by signings then the players signed must be on 12 months otherwise we will be writing off other season also....

We can only really judge once we know the final make up of next years squad. A few rabbits will be needed to pulled from somewhere though to have confidence we can compete at the very top.

| Problem with this season is we have no pace to go round anyone, and a pack incapable of going through anyone, back that up with predictable rugby that you can read with your eyes closed, makes for a very uninspiring rest of 2021.
As for next year, unless they manage to work some kind of miracle with recruitment, it will be more of the same.

| Leeds made an offer to Sezer I see. He is ok marquee money and Leeds won’t go that high apparently. I’d like to think we can get involved in that one but there’s certainly no rumours about it at the minute.

| You'd like to think that we'd be looking at a player like Sezer, but who knows? It's pretty grim at the moment, any good news wouldn't hurt
