Looking at our current squad, I think we’re short in 3 key areas.
1. A hooker to rotate with Powell (ideally a quick ball running type)
2. A top centre (not sure Bibby / Zak / Thornley are the answers if we want to be winning trophies)
3. Another top quality prop (who plays decent spells)
This isn’t taking into account any players who might leave at the end of the season, just my view based on where we’re short at the moment if we want to challenge Catalans & Saints
Agree on 1 and 2 for sure.
Flogging Powell for 80 minutes every week isn’t going to improve his performances, and if he got an injury cover isn’t great in our squad would be O’Neill and Cust covering 9.
Centres deffo lacking skill IMO, letting Hardaker leave and getting an out and out centre would solve this.
Kind of disagree with the props. A top quality prop who plays decent spells defines Havard imo.
Havard, Ellis, Mago, Singleton, Byrne is a good first choice 5 imo. Sure I’d like a big upgrade on Singleton but many clubs are after props.
I think most super league teams would swap their props for ours (Saints and Catalan excluded) but don’t think we’re as far off as we have been (with Bullock, Clubb and Clark). Guess we’ll find out on GF.
