Pivotal decision coming up for Lasty

I thought Connor was against Leeds especially defensively so its a no brainer - Shaul straight back in.

As a side note what a disaster Jones and Swift have been - both have hardly played - move both on at the end of the season

I’m hoping Jake beefs up a bit, he needs to tackle like Hardaker, he has all the skills and more required attacking wise,

Josh Jones is struggling with CV 19 issues, so hope he makes a full recovery for next year.

Adam Swift, I’m not sure why he’s out, and I tend to agree on this one, but when you consider we will lose Ratu as well, our wingers left will be the slowest in the league.

Jones and Swift have hardly played due to injuries pre-covid and both wont be cheap - bye to both

Odd turn of phrase in the HDM - "but once again there is no place in the squad for Adam Swift, Scott Taylor, Josh Jones, Manu Ma’u, Albert Kelly, Jordan Lane, Kieran Buchanan and Gareth Ellis."

These guys can't play because of injuries/Covid issues.

Jones missed ONE game before lockdown, and played the first game after lockdown, and then contracted Covid.

Sorry thought he'd played less - maybe cos he was invisible when he did play for us

Jones wont be here next season.Disaster of a signing.Bit like the RU signing Jones
Losing Ratu is a big blow but Swift is still a better wing than what we will have available next season
We all agree Connor has skill but as you say his defence is weak and he has no pace.Overhyped as a player for me but still like him as a centre because he has an ability to knock back high balls on last tackle plays which we seem to score from when he is in that position.

Just the 7 first teamers missing. Is Taylor Covid related or injured?

Shaul's defence on the line isnt great, I doubt he would have stopped any of those trys. Shaul will play though as he is undroppable.

My side would be

Connor
Naulogo
Fonua
Carlos
Faraimo
McNamara
Sneyd
Sao
Houghton
Brown
Savelio
Griffin
Bowden

Cator
Satae
Shaul
Bienek

I don’t know if you’ve heard anything about JJ leaving us, I thought he signed a two year deal, I would also imagine any coach we have, especially a new man, would want him in their organisation.

I accept he’s had issues with illness, but that can and has happened to lots of players, especially this rotten season, we want top quality playing for us, That’s why AP signed him,

The trouble is Jones hasnt shown any top quality when he has played
It was widely reported that Jones had asked for a transfer citing travel difficulties and his partner/wife didnt want to move to Hull.
After several weeks of speculation the club issued a statement that they they had come to an agreement with Jones for this season.
I doubt the club would want to keep an unhappy player here for next season and given that he is still under contract i would assume the club will try and recover a fee for him when he goes.
