I'm always skeptical of negative 1st posts from week old accounts.
Hey, we all gotta start somewhere but in my experience 99% of these accounts are made to do one thing and one thing only.
Happy to be proved wrong though...

I was told this by a former Trinity player, and by the way I have to start somewhere

If I remember rightly we were alleged to have Josh Wood signed up from Salford which would make sense if we are letting Randell go back to Aus.

Also Pitts has definitely signed. He will be a good addition and is a real work horse and team player. A good replacement for Kirmond.

I'd like to see the bulk of any available money go on a top quality half back. I know we have Brough and Miller signed up for next year but we have no other option for half and we can't rely on both to be injury free and in form. Although, Connor Bailey has looked like he might be on the cusp of being able to step in the first team this season as back up.

Not sure it needs to be a half back, a creative no 9 would be just as good though we’d have to change our style. We’d need to support the ball carrier far more than we do for a 9 to prosper, a real weakness in our game imo. However if we did so we’d be less dependant on getting it out to the flanks and thus be varied in attack and leaving Brough less exposed. Easier said than done.

Shame with Randall, had he been less injury prone I think he could have developed that role.

So Randell leaving is 100% then?
Shame as you say if so and hooker is number 1 priority then because no way should Wood do 80 minutes every week, he'll end up killing himself

Chester said he's going back to Oz.

So how would Hampshire go at hooker?

He wont do thow will he! We have signed a hooker from Salford josh wood i think his name is.

Well lets hope he gets one ! His 2 tries friday night probably kept us in super league , The kid is like a stick of rock he's got wakefield running straight through him and when you look back on the money we wasted this year on a big lump of lard in pauli pauli surely his contract demands must be justified.

From League Express twitter:

'WHAT'S INSIDE LEAGUE EXPRESS

They secured Super League survival on Friday - and Wakefield are already planning for 2020.

We'll tell you which out-of-contract favourite is set to agree terms on a new deal to stay at the club!'

Lets hope its Rocky

Nope not unless we up our offer

I think the article is about Danny Kirmond

We can only hope that commonsense prevails

Rocky reminds me of Grix because they can play a number of positions. Which didn’t do Grix a lot of good in the end.

RLE have Kirmond staying as a player but working with the reserves.

Agreed. I would like him to stay, his versatility is a major benefit from a budget point of view, plus I think he has been one of our best players this season

I will never name names while they still play for us ! But he could be our second best winger at least never mind fullback.

He made a good living out of it.

At best we need cover for the half back positions because unless I am mistaken without Hampshire I don’t know who will cover either of these positions currently. We must also take into consideration the age of Brough and how reckless and with little regard for his own safety Miller can be both in attack and defence.

we cant go with the same 7 and 6 next year otherwise same if not worse will happen again

We can and we will, I don’t think there is any real option there. With that in mind we need to rebuild the team and re-jig our game plan to make it work. It doesn’t matter what we think of the current partnership it’s here to stay for at least another season so as I say the only other option is to tinker with the rest of the team.

I’m kind of with you tbh but it’s worth noting that up until both Brough and Miller got injured in the same game they were probably the most in form partnership in SL. So maybe it was key injuries to other players after this that caused their decline and with a full squad they can get back to where they were, let’s hope so.

Friday should have been the decider of the Rocky saga - we need him for next season; I'm even prepared to overlook him telling my son to eff off on Saturday night in response to "well played Rocky lad."

He has proven beyond any doubt that he's a tremendous utility player - wherever he plays, he's heavily involved in everything we do that's any good.

Hey Gibbs, didn't get chance to say hi and welcome on board.
