By all accounts even if we do sign Walmsley he'll be spending next season on loan back at Batley.

Disappointing to see other props going elsewhere. We should be in for them. Squad balance is going to be poor again next year methinks.

Magennis is not good enough at prop, I'd have let him go before Dixon myself.

Forster needs to make an impact within 2 years? He's only 20, progressing to a regular bench player will bench player within that time will be enough for me.

I'd also agree with the comment about stopping the rot, but that was stopped after a month. The lack of progression since then has hampered the club and the progression of youngsters within the squad for me. A situation that I hope will be rectified next year.

When Hudds were still firing I watched them dismantle Cas with a wild away of attacking options - i was very impressed, even though the opposition wasn'tthe best, the number of ways they took it to them really ripped the defence up.
Around the same time (or so i recall) we rolled over Wakey at home. Despite completely dominating them in the forwards, we still played completely narrow to the ruck, with all our breaks coming from short passes and offloads in the middle. We still scored a hat full, but in the most unimaginative manner. Unfortunatley, when we came up against better teams (Wigan), we weren't afforded the same freedom up the middle and subsequently had nothing to throw at them, looking woeful if we tried anything expansive.

By an impact I mean to get into the first team. Not to be a dream team player.



I think if you are regularly getting on the bench then you have made an impact, to get a new contract.

Fair enough

Good analysis.
