give your head a shake

I don't care what you say, you can't just have a whole pack of explosive players. You need work horses as well, granted we have too many. But Dowes maybe doesn't offer alot in attack but he's a damn hard worker and a very good defender, he should definately stay. Cusack also isn't a plodder, however I think he will probably leave anyway. Lee has earned at least another year imo and as much as I like Tony he isn't good enough to be first choice fullback and I don't really see where he will fit in elsewhere. Radford to go, again a work horse but I would rather have Dowes than Radders tbh, I don't think there is enough room for both. Thorman and Horne can go for me.

cusack isnt a plodder????!!! he's sean ryan in disguise....

Players i would consider releasing from there contracts or not renew deals.

Motu tony - maybe a bit harsh he's been out for a long time but he needs to improve, he lacks quality under the high ball but if he can get back to the form of 2006 he would be fantastic.

Chris Thorman - For me he as done enough damage, and needs a fantastic second half to the year, for me he came in for his kicking game and at times hes none existant.

Peter Cusack - Would consider giving him a new deal but he's to much like Dowes and a waste of a import position.

Lee Radford - Too many back row forwards and Lee offers the least options.

Greame Horne - Would also consider a new deal, as a utility player he has great effort and not bad player but depends on who we can get in to replace him.

I think we desperatly need a centre and a real go forward prop to replace carvell if not two.

Could also do with a full back and winger then i think we would be complete.

agree with this but wait on tony to see if he can get into form after what was a serious injury

fitz for radford (cant see agar doing this though)
tansey for horne
long for thorman
we need a centre and prop to complete the jigsaw but i hope we dont go like for like with the props. we have never really replaced carvell and need a go forward player

which would you replace because at the moment Yeamo is playing like an extra wide 2nd row

By the time he gets it there is no space to operate ..

Really don't think we need another one. Calderwood, Raynor and Briscoe will be fine. If need be, Hall can play there, or we could just take a Leeds fringe player on loan again.

To be honest forgot about our massive signing of jordan tansey so forget the winger.

TL the only one i would offer a deal to, the rest your right about, all average at best!

Thorman - not good enough

Cusack - plodding workhorse, never threatens the line, waste of a quota spot

Tony - thanks for everything but time to move on

Dowes - plodding workhorse, never threatens the line

King - great servant but all good things come to an end

Whiting - great player but sadly and crucially no speed


Radford for me has been playing like a plodding prop all season and given that role I think he would offer more than both Cusack and Dowes. At least he has a presence about him.

Tommy Lee has shown enough (just) to warrant another contract and should improve with the influence of Long.

G.Horne has done a solid job without ripping up any trees but he has more pace than Whiting.

Saying this though the biggest doubt for me is the coaching team!
With no apparent ideas regarding tactics, team selection or the interchanges, I think Mr Agar is out of his depth as a SL head coach. The most important role at the club is the head coach and no amount of money should be spared in securing the best that money can buy.

Workhorses are not meant to break the line every time they run with the ball, i cant agree on people saying get rid of Dowes, great defender and works hard all the time he is on the pitch, a must keep for me.
