[del[/delWhilst I'm disappointed to have lost in the GF again, I can't help but be positive. Getting there 2 years in a row and being disappointed just shows how much we have progressed as a club.



One thing that this years grand final showed me is that we need some fresh players at the club in order to develop further. Whilst Morley, Carvell, Hodgson etc have been legends and great signings for us, I think now the time is right for them to go.



A priority for me is a class full back - this should be our 'marquee' signing to signal our intentions



and a winger - Teams this year have exposed our weakness on Riley's side defensively and this needs sorting!



Half back - To play alongside Myler long-term



And some pace in the side - which we severely lack



England is a unit and Asotasi will bring experience to the side



Thoughts anyone?

Versatile backs. Don't think we need a dedicated full back, winger, or centre, but someone that can play all of them. Two of our best players this year were Grix and Ratchford, partly because they're top players, partly because they can play in so many positions their value increases even more.

We need a big winger to replace Riley and a half back to replace Briers and have Riley and Briers as back up

What about Bridge?

id have Bridge in at 6 so long we can be sure those legs are right.



Then seek out a right centre with a style in the likes of an Allan Bateman or a pre substance linked Gleeson.

I think you missed the point about Bridge & ........Padders.

Ratch will be first choice full back - as he deserves to be so don't think we will strengthen this position specifically. Prop seems to be lacking in quality in compared to last season, but with England coming in we have our four frontline props, with Riley due a shot at first team himself. We can't keep loading quality from above, we need to give these younger guys a shot at SL level.



Backrow seems well covered with Westwood, House, Grix & Harrison (fully fit). We also have Currie to find extra gametime for next season.



We have just given Atkins a new contract so he is a cert to line up in the threequarters. I'm hopeful Bridge can regain his form with a full pre season and hopefully a clean run injury free next season - if he doesn't I think his place in the 2015 squad would be in question.



Half back is well covered with Myler and Briers and GOB as back up, the time to bring in a player here will be 2015 with Briers' assumed retirement.



I agree it would seem we have room on the cap with Morley, Carvell, Cooper, Hodgson, Tyke and Williams leaving and only Asotasi, England & Penny coming back in. BJB would be a good signing for me, a good wingman with the potential to fill in at fullback if Ratch is injured, or needed to cover elsewhere.

I'd agree with this. Riley is our weak link and has been exposed time and time again defensively and this needs to be addressed. Personally, I'd like to see Evans given a shot at making that position his own, and I think we'll be there or thereabouts again next season.

I really hope Evans gets a run in the team and actually stays fit as I think he could be a quality player for us.

Riley is a great player, don't dish the guy wirewire.



Give details of who and where you would like someone else but knock him.

Some of the passes that Bridge puts out to Joel are sublime & it looked like he was lining up an inside pass when he was bundled into touch. Unfortunately ,Joel hadn't read the script or we may have scored again. In my book though, Bridge knocks Gleeson into a cocked hat .
