the player who should go is king. you don't waste a quota spot on someone so average as him. he is awful

He’s enthusiastic and a big lump, but so far from polished we could replace him with a Non OS player and we wouldn’t lose much. I know Harrison has signed for Wire but would he have been much different?

Agree totally. We could replace him easily with a better non quota player.,

Thompson is a huge waste of a Quota spot & git a 2yr deal.
At least King was a 1yr gamble we can walk away from we're lumbered with Tjompson for another year. Shocking recruitment.

King will probably be the one to make way. How many head knocks is that now?

Something clearly wrong with his technique

Yeh, totally agree.
Looks like King isn't gonna work out.
But no big deal, we can release him and replace with a non OQ prop.
We should have taken a punt on Harrison - he looked decent (as well as able to stay fit and play long minutes).

Here's the bit I don't get. The club says nothing is decided but surely that means all 3 of them could come in on Monday morning and say they've signed for someone else. I can't quite believe we'd risk that.

Maybe the club intends retaining none of them.

Well I accept that's a possibility but I don't believe it's true.

Of course they could and maybe that’s what will happen

Why not we need another good prop Martin plays in the backr row we where next season we are well stocked.Hurrell's at centre but we also have Broadbent Newman Sutcliffe Briscoe plus Edwards might get a chance next season .

Assuming we dont/cant ship off someone like Thompson early and Gale see's out his deal, for next season id release all of King, Martin + Hurrell plus L Briscoe + McClellend and bring in as good a quality big quota prop as the money saved will allow.

FB. Myler + Walker
Wing. Handley + T Briscoe + Tindall
. Newman + Suttcliffe + Broadbent + Hall
Halves. Sezar + Austin + Gale + Sinfield
Prop. Oledzki + Prior + New Signing + Holroyd
Hooker. Leeming + Johnson + Dwyer
S/Row. Bentley + Mellor + Walters + Gannon
Loose. Tetavano + Smith + O'Connor
Utility Forwards. Donaldson + Thompson
SR/. Edwards

Thats a good, well balanced squad imo, would be highly competitive next season, whilst providing oppurtunities for our younger players and with Gale, Austin, Myler, T Briscoe, Thompson, Mellor, Dwyer, among others, off contract after nxt season, we would have plenty of cap and quota to improve again going forward.

By this time you would be hoping Walkers back ahead of Myler, Walters is moving ahead of Mellor, Johnson moving ahead of Dwyer, Tindalls ready to replace Briscoe (sign a new winger if not) Broadbents moving ahead of Suttcliffe and Edwards, Gannon and Sinfield are fullfilling there enourmous potential. We'l be in an extremely healty position in 18 month if handled properly, Exciting times.

No he doesn't

As Matts is saying, we could release all OOC players and still look strong - which is why the club is playing harder with the three and pitting the onus on them to earn a place.

When we signed them we were in a different place altogether - particularly Konnie and Rhyse.

Personally I would push Tetevano forward and start with Smith with O’Connor as backup. Been surprised with O’Connor - initially I thought we brought him to help the Walters deal, but actually he’s a talented sportsman in his own right.

Field is also looking for a LF position so we have some depth building there.

Can’t remember when we had such depth at centre and second row in particular.

O’Conner has been the better of the two, I’ve not been overly impressed with Walters but he’s still very young and has loads of potential

Walters will only get better by playing.His defence is okay but he needs to take the ball up more.The pack has been out on their feet for weeks with very little rotation.Walters should been used in some of these games instead of playing busted players.

Walters has the frame to do anything he wants in the game. He needs to work hard and get his head into it, then we might have a real player in our hands. He was good through the academy but he’s stalled a little over the last year - it happens. Cam Smith has taken a while and looks something like now.

Walters and Gannon could be an interesting combo going forward.

Depth at centre yes, but short on X factor without Hurrell. We know quantity doesn’t work too don’t we......

Broadbent and Newman have the potential to be our centre partnership for years. Unless they are given a chance we won't know that but both are young and will only improve. That's not to mention Edwards who has the ability to play anywhere on the field. Hurrell might have the x factor but how many times this season has he delivered an Xfactor performance?

You need quality experienced payers around to bring young players through. Would be naive to stick Newman and Broadbent together together from next year. Plus look what injuries can do. Both been extremely unlucky so far.....

But you dont want to block the young players path forever, if we hadnt resigned L Suttcliffe on a long deal, id be more inclined to want to keep Hurrell on reduced terms, but with Suttcliffe, Newman and Broadbent + with T Briscoe maybe being better in centre than wing these days, there in case of injury, we'r more than well covered. Thats not even mentioning Hall and Edwards.

I must be watching a different player, but Cameron Smith does little for me. Against Castleford on Friday night being there he did not have a good game he was no better than any of the forwards.
Going forward if everyone was fit he would not be in the starting 17.
I think how he has played these last few seasons he’s no better than Championship player at best. I know this piece will come in for a lot of stick, and it’s only my opinion, but when I saw him first as a young kid he has not developed into what I would of expected of him. As a youngster he was brilliant, but I don’t see the quality in him. Only my opinion,

Club really needs to make up it's mind - and this shouldn't be agar's call - whether we go all out for a title next year. Potentially, we have the squad to do so imo. But that'd mean a hard nosed appraisal of all players - no projects unless injury forces it on us.
Or, we can go with continuing to develop young players, rehabilitate the likes of jack walker in the hope we'll be all the better for it after yet another year transitioning. I think there's a choice to be made.

They will have experience players around them ie Austin Sezer We wouldnt starting with Broadbent it would be Sutcliffe if Hurrell isn't retained. Retaining Hurrell means Broadbent is 4th maybe 5th choice. If players don't play they go backwards sometimes you have to make tough decisions and play the young ones. I expect Hurrell to be resigned I just hope he starts to improve and if he doesn't I hope the coaching team have the balls to drop him.
