Didn't Hansen sign a contract extension to 2011 last season?

Ones in bold should be given extensions and unless Hansen(although I am a big fan of his but with Farrell and Mossop coming through), Goulding and McIlorum show great signs of improvement they shouldn't be kept

Personally I would send Goulding and McIlroum on loan to super league clubs for next season and see how they go

Shame its not this season because he would go straight to the top of the list IMO

I think whether we get him next season depends on who we bring in to replace Coley. If we bring Luke Bailey or Petero then we should look at LMS instead (off contract at end of 2010) but if we bring in Lynch or someone like that then we should definitely go for Asotasi. Although the thought of Asotasi and Luke Bailey/Petero in the same front row is a frightening thought (for opposing teams )

Props for 2011 season

Bailey/Petero LMS Feka Prescott/Eamon
OR
Lynch Asotasi Feka Prescott/Eamon
OR (for the optomists )
Bailey/Petero Asotasi Feka Prescott/Eamon

A front row that might actually strike a bit of fear into other teams

My bad he did.

I understand what your getting at and think it would work well if we could get the right players in. To start with we would need a top class Enforcer (Luke Bailey being my preference) but with the impact prop apart from Fuifui Moimoi (who probably wouldn't get a visa) who else is there available.

I personally get the impression that the main tasks of the enforcer is to lead the pack and make the hard yards and get the team on the front foot. If you look at the stats for Bailey and Petero they average around 8.5 metres per carry with about 25 tackles per game. That shows to me (along with when I have seen them) that for a prop playing around 55-60 minutes per game the amount of tackles isn't as many as you would expect but the metres they make are outstanding and both being captains of their respective sides show they are leaders too. If you look at a workman props stats such as Lynch, so far this season he has averaged just over 40 tackles per game. I think a combination with an enforcer(eg Bailey), worker(eg Lynch), impact (Feka) and youngster (Prescott/Eamon) would provide a hardworking, metre making front row which would give us constant go forward and solidarity for 80 minutes instead of 40 at the moment when Feka is on

Flanagan should be re-signed given the fact that we paid a fair fee for him and he has not been given a chance yet. But should we re-sign him he should be sent on loan for a full season elsewhere otherwise another year in the reserves will be just a waste of cap space.

Leeds Rhinos

Enforcer Kylie Leuluai
Worker Jamie Peacock
Impact Ali Lauitiiti
Youngster Luke Burgess

Quote: kirkamania6 "No thanks. Prescott and O'Carroll are already better than him.'"

I Don't think so but that's just my opinion of course...

I don't think Prescott and O'carroll are better than Luke Burgess yet however I believe from what I have seen from all three players that Paul Prescott has the most potential.

Prescott is older than luke bruges.

True...

Paul Prescott January 1, 1986 (1986-01-01) (age 23)
Luke Burgess 20 February 1987 (1987-02-20) (age 22)
Eamon O'Carroll 13 June 1987 (1987-06-13) (age 21)

Stats according torl...rl

Paul Prescott 41 Super League Apperances (2004+)
Luke Burgess 29 Super League Apperances (2007+)
Eamon O'Carroll 44 Super League Apperances (2006+)

In prop terms they are babies and they will all probably(and hopefully) be around for the next 10 years at least

Prescott will be a fantastic player IMO, hope he can develop into our own Graham/LMS/Sam Burgess
I hope Eamon continues to improve and finds that bit of aggression and then he will truly be a class player too
Luke Burgess will most likely always play in the shadow of his brother but will too be a classy player
