We'll need Sykes at 6 with his experience and we tend to play better with him there rather than sell him, can't see him on a big contract that would save much money.

Lee Smith should be in centres with Collis with Reece Lynne on the wing if we lose Cockayne.

Think we may next lose Poore and Tautai (to Salford or elsewhere if rejected bids have been made for Kirmond) if they are on big contracts and replace with cheaper alternatives.

Cheaper alternatives = Championship rugby. Get ready for it if players of that calibre go !

Several lower league players worth giving a go in superleague.my concern is a new bloke running club building a side around a 2nd rower, kimonds good but he's no sb williams thus its wont work.

I agree lee Smith is clearly at his best in the centre. As far as Sykes goes players of his calibre should be held onto at all costs for next season - he's got a wealth of experience and we're going to need all of that next season by the looks of it.

Interesting to hear that L.Smith and Ali have signed for next year. Would have thought that Ali would be on a substantial contract and the money would or could have been used elsewhere. Unless he has taken a big cut for the sake of the club?

Why not let Kay have a run at stand off.
Let Annakin go at Loose Forward.
Bring Walshaw into the centres.

3 talented young players who might just make a name for themselves if they were ever allowed to play in their actual positions. I'd certainly start them all at Cas at any rate.

or how about put sykes with kay move smith back to lyne to wing and either sell fox or cockayne

goulding at the mo isn't ready
