Quote: ChrisA "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.'"
All our problems are sorted.
After all we have signed a centre and a prop from Leigh and a winger from Championship London
