... maybe you could explain how you "move on" an underperforming player with 2 years of his contract (and salary) still to run.

I have to agree with you. I said at the time we should have used the quota spot for another forward. We could have made Ratu a better offer unless is mind was set on RU.

Biggest priority is a 6. If we get a fee for Jones that might give us some money to tempt a contracted player.
I don't watch the NRL so have no idea about players over there.
Thinking on players in SL...
Lolehea? Was poor at Leeds but has done well at Salford. No guarantee of replicating that form with us though.
Trueman? Looks a good prospect. Doubt Cas would part with him however.
Sezer? Possible swap with Jones. Can't see Watson countenancing that.

Pickings appear slim currently.
I suppose another option could be to move Connor to 6 and look to recruit a more ball playing fullback.

It won't be easy, that's for sure. But that's sometimes what has to be done, and agents can put feelers out and go from there. Like I say, my ideal is that a new coach finds the way to bring the best out of him and we get the Fonua we know, and the dynamism he brings. But in 2020 he's been wildly inconsistent and underwhelming.

I think brown needs more game time next season. Shows up well when he plays.

I agree with fonua, although it's been tough for him. got bad Injury before he came back. Was out for a year. Took time to get his fitness back, then season was suspended. It's just been stop start for him. More so then most others.

Hopefully a good off season and we will see his best again.

Sezer was described as Huddersfield's first marquee player by lots of the press - kind of makes him totally unaffordable, imho.

More than likely. We would have a fair chunk to play with if you combined Jones and Kelly's wages but even if you wanted to spend that much on one player I doubt Huddersfield could be persuaded to let him go anyway.
I'm struggling to come up with many realistic targets, certainly in this hemisphere.

.... I think there's more chance of Connor going back to Huddersfield than us getting Sezer.

Agree on Brown, another off season and he will be close to being ready, with no reserves it would be tough for him to get game time.

I hope not, a team like Huddersfield shouldn't be recruiting our best players, agree about Seizer though he wont be coming, he will do another year and go back to the NRL.

... so do I, but the club has very few "assets" and some clubs have money and plenty more don't.

In my opinion the main problem with your squad is a lack of mental toughness. You have lots of skilful players but last night after the head patting incident your team just fell apart. Connor, Sneyd, Houghton the spine of the team just disappeard and made basic errors. Knock-ons, poor kicking, passes going to ground. Just when you wanted them to stand up and be counted they failed you miserably. Top players perform when the situation is difficult just as the Wigan players did at the start of the first half.

Your main need is a coach that can instil that mental discipline.
