| Quote Eastern Wildcat="Eastern Wildcat"It would all depend on what room we have available on the cap and also what out playing budget will be for 2018. I would though try to retain Williams.
For me hooker is a definate. Hopefully Tyler Randell would be the man.
As someone else earlier mentioned maybe a centre with the Collis style handling skills and also a big second rower in the Murdoch Masilla or Lautiti style. Kirmo getting no younger and the injuries taking longer to heal.
One thing I would consider though, not necessarily immediately would be a player who can play at full back and half back competently. Both Grix and Finn getting no younger and cant go on forever'"
Jowitt is a competent full back and will be learning off Grix from the organisational side of things |

Yes he is more than competent.
I was thinking more as back up and as a potential replacement for Grix and Finn. One who can play in both positions, we could kill two birds with one stone.
A Gareth O Brien type player.

| Quote JINJER="JINJER"After the Cas game we got talking about how well this squad have performed.
I'm delighted with our season I was a bit negative about us and really expected us to be in the bottom four (tin hat on), however, we then got onto strengthening.
I couldn't really think (with our financial constraints) of the positions we could really improve, my only addition would be a real good quality hooker, but at the back of my mind I keep thinking of the old adage if you stay still you go backwards.
So....Who would you replace position wise (sensibly) or add to the squad for next season?'"
Sign Hadley; a natural replacement for Kirmond. |

I'd definitely be keeping Hirst, no question. Gone well for me

Hirst has had a good first season, wasn't expecting much as a mate of mine played along side him and said he had everything except the heart but no sign of that for me, I will be surprised if we don't try and keep him.

| Really interesting question...
How to you take a competitive squad and make it better..
In forty years of being a Trinity fan I don't think I've ever considered this question before!!
I don't think I know how!  |

The big gap is our kicking game - it's dire; I'm not sure how to fix that, but if Finn is to retire, his replacement should have one.

And that's why I asked the initial question, it's hard isn't it. |

I don't understand why more teams don't try the 40-20 more often, especially now it restarts with a tap as well.
I know we are a bit lacking in terms of kicking options but again if someone with a strong kicking game was brought in I'd like to see that more often.

This squad is very close I would say we could have had 12 more points this season but just lacking that bid of class at 9 and 7
Finn is a great man to have on the bench Wood is a useful utility
Put a Gale Houghton/Lunt in this team and things change

| Quote Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo"Happy with Hirst's first season and hope we give him 2nd shot. Think he's going to improve too.'"
I also am happy with Hirst. He looks a bit lolloping but he's a very big bloke and he attracts a lot of tacklers in. Yes I recall the odd mistake but no more than some others. I love Fifita but he's made the odd blooper this year. I can't think of any player I would want to lose from this squad, only add one or two if we can. Certainly our kicking game is a bit indifferent. But I think Finn is absolutely pivotal to why we have done so well, so I think the tactical kicks need to come from the other half back as I would not want to lose Finn |
