I think Lynch will be missed, arguably Green moves up to fill his boots. We'll miss Tickle's goal-kicking but we do have a pipeline of forwards. Maybe Whiting will get the 12 shirt next year. I hope we see good value for what should be a good wedge freed up, assuming Paea and Ogre play a draw salary wise.

He needs a good finish to this one.

Thing is, we're not good enough this season so we need to be replacing the departing players with better quality but there's been no evidence we're doing itt. Let's hope they have a couple of top quality signings up their sleeves or we may struggle to make the 8 next season as rovers, saints and Salford will all improve

Spent on Ellis and Holdsworth though. Oh, I forgot about Seymour's salary too. Can't see Miller on the same.

I agree. Sounded from the AP interview this week that we have a prop coming in.

I agree, finish in 8th position and lose the first playoff game then I'm sure that Gentle may have to answer some very challenging questions asked of him by his boss.

Lynch this season should be easily replaceable.

True, but I'd be surprised to see him leave the club before next season. Not completely out of the question, of course.

Unless we get hammered in every game I would as well.

agree with most of the sensible posts on this particular thread. when you suffer a bad loss, youve got to learn the lessons from it and move forward.Rounding on the players or the coach is just crass. does anyone honestly think our guys didnt give 100% effort today! just think it was one of those days when nothing sticks or seems to go right. too many errors early in the game from at least half a dozen players led to every one of them trying too hard, pushing passes and offloads that were never on in monsoon conditions. errors snowballed and confidence and cohesion evaporated throughout the team. give Wigan some credit as well, they played to the conditions and their big game experience showed. our guys have got a bit of that experience now and if we replayed the game again next week, daresay we would play ten times better.

The amount of times we should have gone for 2 points but ended up playing and dropping the ball was criminal. Everyone around us was shouting for the 2, it was crystal clear we needed points on the board.

Keep up the optimism lad.
