Just trying to get my head round the squad for next year, have i missed any? Where do we need strengthening?

Blaymire
Blanch
George
Morton
Murphy
Gleeson
Millard
Demetriou
Jeffries
Brough
Tronc
Newton
Obst
Stosic
Moore
Latu
Morrison
Ferguson
Davey
Henderson
Korkidas
Spiers
Wildie
Trout
King
Cowling

Winterstein?
Bibb?
Grix?

Fullback
Blaymire

Wingers
Blanch
George
Morton
Murphy

Centres
Gleeson
Millard
AN Other???

Halfs & Hookers
Jeffries
Brough
Obst
Newton
Latu

Props
Tronc
Stosic
Moore
Korkidas
Bibb

2nd Row
Morrison
Ferguson
AN Other??

Loose
Demetriou

Academy Players
Southernwood
Davey
Spiers
Wildie
Trout
King
Cowling

So from that evidence,

Second Row and Loose is a definite problem, perhaps george could play FB if needed? If not another FB is required.

Where do the academy players play?

Academy Players
Southernwood - Half Back
Davey - Hooker
Spiers - unsure
Wildie - unsure
Trout - Prop (but has speed and good footwork)
King - Centre ?
Cowling - Centre/Wing?

if we are looking to bring in a decent back rower they wouldnt go wrong with bringing back Rob Spicer. Excellent season down at Dewsbury...top tackler and a workhorse..get kear and broadbent working on him and he could be a bargain... young and english too...

Wildie is a scrum half I believe, also Grayston at loose looks promising.

not for me

Paul Johnson?

you need to add Henderson to the list.

Double post.

I think Murphy played quite a few Academy games at fullback last year, did anybody see him, and if so, how did he go?

Ferguson is adequate cover for JD at loose forward, so the main area to strengthen seems to be 2nd row (seem to have heard that before), I`d settle for Westwood & Johnson. The nominated 1st team squad, as per RFL rules is 25, so it appears there is room for 2-3 more yet.

How sure are we about Blanch re-signing, seems ominously quiet about that at the moment?

Murphy went really well at Full Back in the Academy/resevrves, strong defender as last line in defence and he's got a good footballing brain, he knows when to come into the attacking line etc.

For me his best position is Centre but I can understand why JK is playing him on the wing in his first few season of 1st grade (a bit like Gleeson in the last few years) if your a centre and you know how a winger plays, when you eventually play centre you'll understand how your winger wants you to defend, pass the ball, cover, communication etc making you a better centre......I think that makes sense :s

Adding in the prospective loanees from Wigan, Davies and Vievers, no idea of there positions though - anyone any idea?

Davies is a prop and Vievers is a full back.
