when I've seen shenton he always looks a clever player and one who can put his winger away.

But we've got briscoe, yeaman and hall (unless he goes, as expected, to hkr)
so don't really need him.

I haven't seen alot of westerman this season but change can be as good as a holiday and he's got ability.

I can't see tansey sticking around to be back up, he was that at Leeds, and I like him at 1.

Sorry I didnt explain myslef about Tansey very well. Tansey number 1 FB (very impressed with so far at FB), use Owen on the wing and back up FB, if Tansey is injured or needed elsewhere.

The hard thing about that would be selling the idea to owen, he might also get guarrentees as a starting fb at other clubs, like Huddersfield.

Defiantley worth a try though.

radford,yak will go,we will keep dowes on and tickle will stay,prob 2-3 year deal

radford to go? Would be surprised if we didn't offer the club captain a contract infront of dowes.

Pretty even as players IMO. Stats seem to show this, www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010 Dowes is 2 years younger and I would guess on less money so it would have to be him for me, Dowes Moa O Meley New Prop Lauaki as back up. Also either look to the youth team for another prop or another young prop from another team for the future. I really like Aldous, but not sure he is big enough for a prop in SL though.

If Yak and Radford both go then we will be left with thre props so will need to recruit at least one prop.

Hope Tickle does stay, been great for us this season.

I would hate to see Washy go, i think he has the ability to be an excellent player and future captain, he is FC through and through, unfortunately he is not one of Agars favoured few. In my opinion we need to keep as many british players as we can with the quota getting lower every year. of course thats just my opinion

Favoured few? Would youy play Washbrook ahead of Fitz? I think he will have to bide his time.

Would not have Washy ahead of Fitz, but i would certainly play him off the bench more often, so that we have more options of resting players.

Do you watch the u20's?

How's nicklas, Williams and Cunningham going?

Dowes - 1 year deal
Radford - 1 year deal
Tickle - 2 year deal hopefully
Fitzgibbon - hopefully another 1 year deal
Manu - definately a 2 year deal
Cusack - retire, hopefully
Kent - 1 year deal at the moment, maybe 2 depending on his progress

Would sign a young British prop to replace Cusack, someone like McCarthy Scarsbrook.

Props
O'Meley
Dowes
Radford
Moa
McCarthy Scarsbrook

Second rowers
Manu
Tickle
Fitzgibbon
Lauaki
Burnett
Kent

Then promote from the U20s (Aldous, Bowden, Cunningham and Norris).

I'd keep Manu, Fitz, Radders and Tickle. I'd recruit 2 new props.
