What does he mean by "Players who will take us to a new financial level"? Is he talking marquee players?

It wont be Carlos,Manu,Washbrook or Green Talanoa possibly definately Griffin

Not much mention of Jamie Shaul. A couple of breakaway tries a season isnt good enough.

Not saying he should go but he seriously needs to up his game and not live on Wembley 2016.

I see Bill and Ben are out to play tonight

So who's left?

I can't see it being:

faraimo
shaul
taylor
houghton

You've said it won't be carlos, manu, washbrook or green so leaves

abdul
harris
litten
masi
fash
lane
and a couple of other youngsters, none of whom will free up any significant salary cap

griffin who will be on a wedge
hadley who will be at the lower end of the senior players salaries
shaul who was radford's best man so can't see him going anywhere
talanoa who should never have been given a contract but I can't see his attitude being in question

Could all be p1ss and wind from pearson and end up with a few fringe players going and no one of any significance being signed

We have a winner

We don't need massive changes IMO, I look to bring in 2/3 players.

I'd release Talanoa, Paea and Abdul

I think we need a prop, bsvkrower and possible a back, depending on if we play Connor at FB

I'd like to see a side something like this

Connor
Faramino
Carlos
Gelling
Hakim/Shaul
Kelly
Sneyd

Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Jones
Manu
Westy

New prop
Green or one if the young props
Mini
Litten

Maybe go back in for Josh Jones

I read Paea was our marquee player, as he failed to play the minimum
number of NRL games to attain a UK Visa...only way, was to pay him a massive salary,which would satisfy criteria for UKBA to give him a UK Visa..

For mine, Paea,Green ,Westerman,Abdull should go..

For mine, Shaul is the best support FB in SL, but... needs upskilling to be a creative FB, if not he should be moved to the wing.. and play Connor at FB.. We are only playing with 2 pivots,which restricts our attack.. other teams have 3 pivots..

We need a skills coach to be added to the backroom staff, to make the team more cohesive in attack, instead of a 'Sneyd speculative kick' or an off the cuff play.

As AP alluded to signings are completed in June, so its debatable IF any quality is available..

Going forward... as a Manager Lee Radford has allowed apathy to creep in ,and is unable to stem the tide.the worrying situation is...

Can the owner keep ripping up contracts, (if this situation rears its ugly head again),which is a massive financial risk to the club??

Why Westerman?

Shaul is nowhere near the best support full back in SL he’s not even the best support full back in Hull

Because LR likes a '3rd prop' in the middle, using Westy alters our style of structure..

only my opinion though...
