2019 will be difficult in my opinion as we are set to lose what is currently our only attacking weapon in Albert Kelly.Abdull is certainly not a replacement at 6 and We have seen that a Sneyd/Connor combination at half back doesnt work.
So for me a running 6 will be a priority and a second row to replace Mini/Manu.
Talanoa is worth another year but Mini should call it a day after this season.Washbrook i would release but the club may see him worth another year for his experience and versatility.
I would also release Turgut or send him out on full season loan as he seems to be going backwards and will probably end up a championship level player.
Even before our mini injury crisis we have had no bench impact whatsoever and this has to change.The arrival of the new young prop next season may help as i see him coming off the bench for impact like he now does for London but we desperately need someone like Ikahihfo to give us some go forward and cause defences some problems.
I also think our style of play has to change as its stagnating and too pedictable.All the teams likely to finish above us and ill include Wakefield operate with a fluent attacking style with speed which we cannot cope with.
My guess is the club will try and recruit a replacement for Watts for this season but all signs are 2018 will be a disappointment for club and fans and 2019 will be difficult to recruit any real quality.
3 players I would go for are Robert Louis from Salford and one of Tai and Jones also from Salford or Joe Greenwood. Assuming Kelly, Mini & Manu to leave
