TBH I've never been a big fan of Scott Moore but he was excellent on Saturday. Made some real good yards scooting from dummy half and obviously the try at the end wasn't bad either.

I wouldn't be averse to keeping him.

We had yesterday the basics of a decent team or certainly a better one especially with a good coach and a strong pre-season. Here is where id go, who I’d keep and where I’d strengthen.



As for the coaching team I really don’t think to many on here are in a position to comment regarding who should stay and go - other than to say improvement is required.



I think my team is reasonable and possibly capable of missing the bottom four with a bit more luck than we got this year. That’s all we can ask for followingg this season IMO - it will take a few seasons to get this one out of our systems.



First choice



Jowitt/Tansey



Tupou



New Centre



New Centre



Johnstone/Owen



Absolute quality experienced H/B



Miller



Scruton



Godinet/Sio (BOTH OFFER UTILITY IN OTHER POSITIONS)



Anderson



Kirmond



Ashurst



New LF



Sub:



Moore (if we keep him) or another pivot player



Simon



New Prop



Anakin



Replacement players



Crowther PROP

Walker Prop

Yates Prop



Jowitt S/R

New S/R



Christian Ackroyd H/B (Promoted from Academy)



If we must players



Howarth

Hall

Lyne



That’s 6 quality signings creating a squad of 29 - we finished this season with a squad of 33.



I’m assuming we will have more cash due to the reduction in playing personal and the BV deal. Also Smith in particular was a big wage.



However I’m hoping for less injuries and better conditioned team. More quality and versatility. Also this year proved you can pick up players later in the season if needed.

I'd keep Arundal. No world beater but he's done ok and we won't be able to sign Internationals so he is a cut the cloth to fit the budget guy.

Not for me. We'll end up in the same position if we don't endeavour to improve our 3/4s

New I missed someone haha, long post..

Anthony Walker I would sign and hopefully a good pre-season of slimming down and increasing his strength will improve his game next year.

I liked the look of him against KR, has he been injured?

We have just signed Antony England from wire today,

club to announce it by weekend

I think he came on a 18m contract from memory

Don't know anything about this lad, what position is he - is he any good?

Had a belting game against St George at start of the season. Hes a prop forward and probably bigger than what we have already. He seems steady away to me!

28 Yrs old 6ft-4", 17stone 7lbs played for Dewsbury, Feath, Gateshead & Cas. Position:- Prop.

He's a big, solid unit, with a chippy attitude - wasn't he the one who wanted to feyt everyone when Wire came to us earlier this season?



Is Simon tied up for next year?
