Tickle, King, Radford, Dowes all gone will be a very good start to the season 2010 !!'"
I think that is harsh on Dowes personally, he has struggled because of playing too much, nothing more. |

He's been average for the past 2 seasons and wont be one of our first choice 4 props next season. We shouldnt carry the likes of Dowes, King, Thacks, Radford, Tickle, G Horne etc if we aim to be a top 3 club. |

Dowes would be the one of those four that I'd keep if only three were to go but, for me, he doesn't offer anything but effort.
He is not big enough, not aggressive enough and has no go-forward. He does his best and gives 100% but just not good enough for me. |

Do we want to be a top 3 club, could have fooled me by signing over the hill players! |

Radford, King, Dowes, Tickle, Thackray, G Horne, Thorman, Motu, Lee.
If none of those are in our starting 17 next season, we will probably have a squad that can make the top three.

The players we have signed are perfect to attain the balance of the squad for me. FItz and Long are exactly what weve been missing. We have the youth coming through but then not the senior players currently to attain the right balance of experience and youthful enthusiasm etc. |

You have to get the balance right, and I wouldn't describe any of our signings as 'over the hill' TBH.
The problem is that due to poor recruitment and retention we have an awful lot of things that need fixing. You can't do that all in one season, and IMO we've at least started in the right place and with the right types of players.
Now we just need a decent coach.  |

I would be happy to see Hall as one of our back-up 3/4 players but not 1st choice centre. We absolutely definitely need a quality right centre.
2 years of a quality centre to play understudy to and we could see Hall and Briscoe both turn into very good centres. |

We'll never be a big club with them two in charge. |
