Agreed, we need to keep some sort of core to the team to work around. I like Seymour, his passing is very good when he's on his game, he tackles very hard and shows plenty of passion. I also expect his game to go to another level when Heremaia is fit.

don't start that one off, it may be the final blow for a few on here

Pg won't be going anywhere, he loves it here, family settled and would quite like to actually stay beyond his 3 years

He's committed to getting the academy right, the future he believes is with the academy but needs a good crop to bring through,even if it means looking further down the m62

Going from his first 6 or so months here, I would be more then pleased with this.

Kosh will love this tweet from James Smailes.

'Speaking of Horne, Peter Gentle has told me today there is every chance Horne will switch from the halves to become FC's new full-back'

James Smailes‏@James_Smailes

If Russell only stays a month I expect Horne will play FB for rest of season, if Russell stays longer Horne will make switch in 2013

So,a new 6 will be signed!!

I think Seymour has been doing a good job since he arrived. he is good in defence and can score the odd try.

Most halfbacks take a while to settle in and i reckon next season he will a lot more dangerous in creating trys

if that is going to be the case i'm surprised we don't play Horne at FB now and give Nicklas/Ellis the extra game time at 6

it may be a good move in the long run as i'd rather we signed a new stand-off than keep Horne there. Rangi Chase would be a good signing

I get the impression a few people will be leaving us because they don't have the work ethic Gentle wants, Ogre being the main culprit.

Also, you have to ask yourself, is Turner going to make way for one of McRae's favourites from Salford?

Only player i would take from Salford is smith or moon

I'm not saying that you're wrong but I'd have imagined that O'Meley would have one of the best work ethics in the squad considering that he has previously played State of Origin and for Australia because neither of those happen by accident.

no, but they also don't happen once you've crossed the pond and had a couple of years of Fubar bowing and scraping to you.
