Firstly I don't think we'll ever be able to replace him with a like for like. I'm not sure there are many players that can tick all those boxes, but I would replace kicking game with leadership/motivating. I think our kicking game did revolve around him and McGuire/Burrow. Our kicking game has looked pretty decent without him. I'm sure a few kicks have come from Watkins and Moon, which isn't ideal but adds an unpredictable element. The last few years our kicking game has been a bit on off at times. Even against weaker fullbacks the kick has seemed to go straight to them and Sinfield has been guilty of a few of those. Debatably it could come from the control/position the forwards were offering.

Ratchford, M.Smith, Brough, Walsh and Gale from SL could tick the boxes, but questionable on the leadership department that Sinfield offers. All would come with a price tag as well. If McGuire isn't resigned then someone of that calibre needs to be signed.

I think if you're looking at the goalkicking department. I'm sure there was an article where Sinfield said he learnt a lot Van Straaten when he as at the Tykes. Obviously only so much can be added to natural ability, but I don't think Sinfield became the main kicker until 2003ish when he was like 23-24? Sutcliffe is only 20 and seems to have good ability so far. I'm sure he'll still have Sinny to learn off and they could always bring someone in to mentor him.

I like Danny Houghton. He's a proper #9. However, I'm just not convinced it's an area that needs that sort of investment. I've been quite impressed with Aiton this year, and unless somebody really exceptional, like Clark, miraculously became available, I don't see hooker as a priority. Taking nothing away from Danny Houghton, who I think is a top player.

Stevo likes him, and for all his verbal buffoonery, he knows a thing or two about that position.

Not sure whether there is anything in it, as they've just let go of England academy captain Brad Parker. I'm sure gotcha and others will be surprised of that.

Who FC Frosties?

Brad Parker hasn't been starting in the 19s side at Hull, so it sounds like he's had a falling out with the club. Seems to have struggled with the step up from 16s to 19s.

dave taylor good strong prop wants away from titans would be a good signing not sure how much involvement with the drugs case heard his name mentioned. super league is best options
