If there is a great stand off out there available, then yes lets sign him, however I'm not sure that there is and would we be able to fit him in the salary cap.

Personally I would look to play Tansey at 6.

Could the reason we have been getting to the advantage line consistantly, be due to us playing an extra forward at 13?

Something we don't want to see next season if poss.

My mistake.

There was me thinking 13 was a forward

Calderwood on the wing for me with Briscoe / Hall and Yeaman battling it out for the 2 centre spots (although I believe Briscoe shoud be a definite next season with Hall and Yeaman battling it out for the other spot)

Fantastic news if true, young dynamic impact prop signing! well done FC. The future looks so bright. For the last two years we have had the lightest pack men in super league, well next year this changes!!! woooohooo!.
A mixture of impact and workhorses, aggression and leadership, youth and experience. I will go as far as saying the best pack in superleague when all fit. WELL DONE FC! (hope its true though ill maybe keep the champagne on ice till announced)

Why? That would suit Fitzy's playing style, Long on the other hand may have something to say.

I agree to an extent but I would also say that this season we have really suffered in the pivots. Hopefully injuries aside we should have a lot more options next season with 1) Tansey 6) Horne 7) Long 9)Berrigan and 13) Washy.

We could also use Washy at 6 and utilise Fitz at 13 if Horne is out of form and we want to utilise an extra forward.

We also can use Tansey at 6 with Whiting at fullback so it's not like we are not without options and that is without using Turner.

On the Moa front it would be great news if he signs, plays with lots of enthusiasm and he will only improve imo.

I think last seasons pack was beaten in the majority of matches. Too light and not aggressive enough. Hopefully this will change now for next season and allow us to play a ball playing loose forward, without the need for an extra prop.

As for the backs I think we are well covered. Not sure on quality but Hall, both Briscoe's and possibly Tuffour and Lynne can expect more game time next season. Need to see how good they are.

If salary cap allows, I would like to see Hull look for a young half back who can learn from Long.

What about pat smith going full time to learn off Long? What about sending all players who could cover half back, and the u20's, to oz 2 to 4 weeks before pre season starts to have coaching off andrew johns? He coaches half backs at least 3 nrl sides as well as nsw. Then we can produce our own.

I'd have thought the u18s 7 rather than Pat Smith. Williams?

tbh my knowledge of the youth sides isn't the best i'm sure we'll see who the coaches see the best pending on who gets a contract for the u20's
