| There will be a few unhappy posters but well deserved Jordan Lane, player of the year.
Thought him, Ese Ese and Lewis Martin were stand outs.
Separate comment, I noticed
Jed Cartwright at end of the game with his shirt off.
He looks absolutely ripped.
a good sign of our strength and conditioning to come for next season.

Well deserved for what? Putting in slightly more effort than the dross around him? If this is the clubs standard for a top player then god help us

You know who Hull have signed. Who else was going to be in the team?'"
I'd removed it from my memory then you planted it right back in there

As per Irregular hoops response, you know who weve signed, you know what positions they play, please do offer some form of constructive feedback as to who you would have in the team o improve it with what will likely be available? I mean aside from maybe moving rapana to wing and moy to full back i think its best we have right now no?
That may well change with new signings etc but id say the above with the right team off the field behind it would be capable of moving up the table IMO, say around 8th? I don't see anything or anyone that give me reasons to think the likes of Huddersfield, or Cas will finish above us, even Wakefield tbf, im not buying all the hype around them, i still think they will be bottom 2 or 3 and Salford will surely struggle to go round again, think they will likely have a drop off too, Unsure on how Leeds will go, they could finish anywhere from 4th to 10th IMO and Leigh are gonna go through HUGE change so there's no telling how much the players leaving will hurt them aswell. The gap will close between 6th to 12th next year i think.'"
I'll bet you were one of the ones predicting we'd challenge for the play offs with the signings we made last season

That's been his one and only suggestion so far, says it all really.'"
Cheap and better than what we have currently. People don't agree because they don't want to admit I'm right but I am. If we picked up 2 or 3 solid forwards at the same level as kershaw we'd be a whole lot better

The half back at hooker, the winger at full back, the full back in the centres

| As far as Rapana goes, Stuart has mainly selected him at full back this season and the player himself said he's loved it and it's his prefered position for next season.
Zak Hardaker has played centre far more than full back since switiching there for Wigan in 2020 when they signed French.

I just don’t get it though, since when in rugby league have you had to register one position and then stick to it? There’s no rule, It’s just daft to suggest players can’t swap and change positions at different points or evolve to new roles over time. How many grand finals and cups did Leeds win with Sinfield playing at 6? Arguably better at 13 but had long successful spells at 6.
Hardaker is a decent centre. He might have played more at fullback but he’s simply better than what we have at centre. Richie Barnett played almost all his a career as a fullback and was one of our best centres of the modern era. Gary Connolly is another, Greg Inglis, Latrell Mitchell, Joey Manu are off the top of my head and probably hundreds over the years have played both positions well.
Rapana can play fullback. He’s played there this season at NRL level. He has loads of experience and has a strong kick return, it’s a natural progression. If say Moy has an absolute beast of an off season I’m sure we’ll see Rapana on the wing again at some point but he’ll likely start the season as our best fullback.
Cust I’m not going to argue as a great signing, but he can play hooker at decent level. He did for Wigan, I just don’t think that can be argued. Just because you say ‘he’s a halfback’ doesn’t change that, but like I say Cust is an odd one on every level, I think the coach wants him here for whatever reason.
