We are at least a centre and a halfback short. Smith isn't good enough IMO, Tommy should be back up 7/9.

Exactly.

You just have to listen to/read what has been said so far over and over about the culture to know that certain people had little to no say in what went on.

On paper, better than last year but it does depend on how the new guys/coaches gell TBH. As the Reserves restart as well this could help us bring the U19s on and a real gem from there would be welcome. I think we are shy a really good prop and a class centre.

I’m happy with that squad, I was worried maybe French/Hardaker/Field would leave (maybe one still will).

We’ve all probably said this the last few years but hopefully this is the year Partington/ Smithies / Byrne / Havard take their game to another level. Itll be their 3rd/4th full year of SL, hopefully a much better coaching staff and these NRL forwards will provide better support than Clubb/Bullock.

Can’t wait for it

Me neither. Just checked the fixture list to make sure I wasn't missing too many games due to holidays etc and I'm getting my season ticket next week

I think it’s a good squad, well balanced and versatile. Like I’ve said before I want the world but I expect progression, one step further than last season will do. It may seem small dreams for a big club but we’ve got to stay realistic.

But can I just say I cannot wait for the season to start. Absolutely buzzing for it!!
