| I think it's been pretty much agreed that we need a massive clear out and that is certainly happening. However, the alarm bells are ringing furiously - are we actually going to sign anybody?

| The fear for me is that Tony Rea isn't ruthless enough to cut it as a first team coach in the big league. He is good at spotting talented players, but would be better focused on academy work than head coach.
There are currently no responses to poor performances - he just doesn't seem to instil that discipline and hunger in the players required to win at SL level. I know we have injury problems, but apart from the occasional match, we don't seem to see improvement in players over the season.
Very rarely are there support runners waiting to receive an offload (how long did it take for someone to make themselves available for Kaufusi for the try in the Leeds game?!), our passing accuracy is often amateur and we seem incapable of running and passing with any momentum. These are basic issues (along with actually catching and holding the ball) that our team should have mastered.
I wonder what is coached in the week's training sessions? I can understand losing, it's part of the game, but so often we have looked so much worse than the opposition (who too have injuries and youngsters playing for them).
I watch with an eager eye on who (if anyone) we bring in for next season to strengthen this. First thing we need to do though, is stop tolerating poor performance - that has to start from Tony Rea and feed down through the club's culture.
Rumour is that in the next 2 weeks, we'll all know far more about next season's plans etc.

| We cannot offload yet, we do not even do the simple set's yet, basic RL, once we actually get used to gaining at least 60 yards on attack, we might start to train to off load and set up a few dummy runners one day, start pulling out the defenders to create room and space for an occasional try............................oh happy days

| Lets hope the summer rest gives the squad time to get in gear and play for next season, would not look good on players CV to be part of a team dropped etc,
New signings, its hedge time really, Dave Hughes, three seasons on trot, full salary cap spend, one last fling really, or do we really dress down and accept defeat and playing in a lower league, on lower money and in front of lower crowds week in, week out............Me thinks, we do not have the inner strength to pull this one off, rage puts food on the table

| Chris Melling has tweeted that Saturday will be his last home game for the Broncos, moving back home.
I think he'll be much missed at the club. Best wishes for the future, Chris.

| Chris has always given his very best no matter whether he has been at fullback, wing, centre, second row, lock forward or from the bench and he has been so very durable... one of the few signings who has been consistently available.
I'll really miss him.

It's an Australianism. Unionites just say "number 8".

Correct. I used to play as a No.13 lock forward back in the day (in Australia) and while I could defend well my my attack wasn't so hot so I was demoted to the second row. Even to this day I call No.13's locks.

He retires 5 Appearances short of Steele Retchless' Record.
A quote from Randall ""At the start of the year we were definitely talking about doing another year but then my injury came and the club told me they didn't want me. "
