What has happened to Sutcliffe? Never seen a player lose so much pace between age 28 and 29.

I'd vote for another big impact prop and a centre for our quota spots (assuming Cust is coming to provide cover in the halves) we don't need another Full Back. Moy, Litten, Hardaker can have that covered and there's no guarantee someone will take Walker off us.

No idea with Sutcliffe, I'm not sure he was that fast to begin with, he's a solid un spectacular centre but he seems to have gone right off the boil this season.

Definitely need another prop, if Ese Ese is out for any length of time were buggered, Ese Ese, Ashworth, Aydin, Fash, Sao and a new prop would be a good set of props. Moy gets the 1 shirt for me if he's good enough he's old enough, top teams don't hesitate to give starting shirts to kids if they're good enough (Welbsy, Tomkins, Jack walker, etc...)

I understand Parcell is going home which is a shame because he would be an ideal signing for us. An out and out hooker unlike Cust!

I'd still like another prop and probably push Sao into the second row where I thought he did a really good job yesterday in difficult circumstances. We are still too light of experience players with size in the pack. I'm torn between a centre and a fullback. We need quality additions in both these positions if possible but I'd lean towards a centre if it was just one of them. We have quite a lot of cover at fullback even if it's not of the highest calibre.

Sao was OK yesterday but he isn't a 2nd rower. He needs to be playing at prop and we need a decent 2nd rower but suspect it will be holmes, cartwright and lane for next year. Some younger back rowers coming through including staveley

I've got high hopes for Staveley. At such a young age he's physically ready and looked impressive early this season. Such a shame he has that long term injury which hopefully won't hinder his progress.

Staveley is more of a middle though.

Think he will be long term, but think next season he will play more backrow, Cartwright and Holmes will start with Staveley on the bench. Full strength can't see Lane getting into the 17, probably Fash too, which is what needs to happen, these two cannot be automatic picks if we want to progress.

Cobie Wainhouse - he’s a new signing for next season and he’s a Prop !

6 foot 2 and nearly 15 stone and young with a good engine !

He’s gonna tear it up for sure

Hooker - D Balmforth he's 5 foot 11 and weighs 15 stone 3lbs on the website

Harry Grant (best hooker in the game?) He's 5 foot 10 and weighs 13 stone 9lbs

Balmforth weighs more than some of our props and it shows.

12 mins into the second half in the dobbins game and he's way too slow defensively,
and he's not even playing the full game !!!!!!!!!! FFS

He needs to lose around 8kg and get his body fat down to about 12%.
Then we will see a NEW SIGNING at hooker. He has the skills so it's only his physique slowing him down.

Why can't today's coaches see this? He can easily lose 1.3kg a week over the next 6 weeks

Are we expecting some signings in the next 48 hours?

We need it but who we thinking will come in?

Should we try and get Cust early from Salford?

Take a punt on Nikorima?

Davy Litten certainly played like a boss on Saturday. 55 minutes and 160 metres made!

When it comes to losing weight our conditioning team will already have their hands full with our new half back.

It'll be interesting if we bring anyone in on loan this week. HDM says we are targeting a centre, a half and prop.

Probably too early for the Wigan game but I wonder if we'll utilise our quota spots and bring someone in from the NRL.

Nothing to play for position wise but still have 10 games to go and should be looking to finish the season strongly for a change.

I should think we will be talking to the two sacked Catalans players, some wag has already edited Jayden Nikorimas wiki page to say he has signed for us.

Don't know anything about Nikorima but we need a half back right now and if he could improve us maybe he's worth looking at.
