I would hope it's something like this, and maybe another decent signing too. With the signings Warrington & Wigan are making it need's to be a productive window or we could be in trouble again.'" Crosby has already said he's targeting Boxing Day as a comeback.Ferres possible he's off contract,we already know JJB is retiring,Abblet still under contract unless medically advised why would you walk away from probably his last decent contract.Myler also contracted but if Leeds decide to sign Gale he may decide to look elsewhere.Peteru also contracted.On Connor Hull have stated that they have no intension of selling so unless that changes he wont be going anywhere. |

The only change I can see is Gale coming in, I think talk of shifting 5-6 contracted players is pie in the sky

I still don't know where Muizz will end up position-wise, but he has x-factor without a doubt. Never see him take a backward step despite not being the tallest.
Would echo some other comments on here so far: look we are just not going to see loads of new signings for next season. We've done well to shift a couple of contracted players out mid season, but we have commitments to players and you can't just tear it all up without consequences.
We also have to mange overseas quota and salary cap.
Manage your expectations all. There's a bit of signings fever sweeping the board.
The current squad finishing this year is good enough for mid-table at least next year. Ava, Lui and Martin are all first team starters and significant signings. We have a clutch of Academy prospects who will be closer to first team action with another 6 months into them too.
Having Ward and Crosby back won't hurt either.
The club will do what it can but don't forget KS has only been in post about a year now; this is a long-term project to turn the oil tanker around. |

Get down on the floor kid and play the ball asap we dont want forwards breaking tackles. Watch how James Donaldson does it, 8 metres a game!!!
Well done Muizz big fan of that kid. Shame the likes of him, Corey, Broadbent, Walters etc have wasted a year. As for Tommy Holroyd, that kid needs to sort himself out or his career will be over before it starts.

Give Holroyd time mate. He is a very big thing for his age and needs to physically mature a bit.
With structural type injuries you’ve really got to wait for nature.
If he gets right he’s one of the best front row prospects I’ve seen.
Meant to ask you actually Marty; did you watch the London academy game? They had at least one prop I was very impressed with last fine out - did he play against France..? |

Our Academy rightly sets high standards, but they’ve been effected by losing so many of their best players this year. The lads that remain are mostly a little under-age (?) I think and it makes a huge difference at 16/17/18.
Having said that there is some real good talent at other clubs too, and I wouldn’t be averse to us trying to sign one or two more lads from the likes of London - done right of course. |

Tommy is a great prospect, no bigger fan of him than me, but professional rugby is 24/7/365. Needs to do a better job away from the club of looking after himself. Still young and foolish and time to learn he can become a big star in the game if he knuckles down.
Not sure on the London prop mate. I did watch the game yesterday. Really disappointing performance but never easy down there and we have a young team at the moment. That said that's no excuse. Iwan Stephens was very good again outstanding prospect,, Walters made a couple of nice breaks. The team is guaranteed 3rd now. Missing too many big guns that are gaining experience at a higher level on loan. |

Femi Sanya it is - actually U16s so maybe didn’t play the weekend. Looked him up.
Holroyd - you will know more than me about his off-field behaviour, I’ll bow. From what I’ve seen on the field he has the tiger for it but perhaps he needs to learn that it’s not enough at open age to be biggest/strongest lad. |

Because they should have had a few games in the 1st team this year. We need these kids in 3 or 4 years time to really take the club forward and to do that they need to have around 50 SL games under their belts. They need blooding at some point and it hasn't happened this year for reasons we all know about. |

That's a bit cryptic, are you unimpressed with what's going on in the academy?
The thing that strikes me about recent selection is that Ferres & Donaldson are both getting a game and not signed up for 2020. That's a clear message to Peteru, Oledski, Smith & Singo that their inconsistent performances are not cutting it, particularly when we are going with only 3 props, one of whom is Cuthbo and Donaldson is a true grafter but lightweight.
Agree with others, hooker is the next priority. Is Parcell still technically on loan ? In fact is Tui on loan as well? Not sure how all that works for us signing more overseas until both are resolved. I can't see much happening myself. |

Dwyer has good performances sometimes, he was good against London. Where I'm not so keen is how he links with teammates, and particularly his dummy half work. Lunt, I'm guessing won't get retained next year but it wouldn't surprise me if he did either.
Johnson isn't quite ready yet but could feature from the subs bench through 2020.
If we could find new 7, 8, 9 that would be ideal but I can see us running with a very similar looking squad next year.
Actually our 2020 may be defined by how well some of the Academy prospects step up.
