Think we really need a game organiser at 6

the rest of the squad are good or steady players but we have no game changer

I like most of these ideas. I watched Sergent last week and thought he was great. But, Butt and Ince are great wingers, they've never (ever) let us down. 3 top wingers.

Jack has been great for ages.

There's no way I'd get rid of Tom G.

Joe E is the best centre is this league. No question.

Connell is a SL player we're luck to have.

Danny Langtree is an unbelievable player, week in week out.

Dan M top player. The opposition hate seeing Lawton coming on, who wouldn't?

2 top hookers, proper class. Wilde, twinny, Max, hard as nails. Love Hall, the 2 Aussie lads.

We've a good team.

I would bring Sergent in on the wing, you need a winger who has pace and can score, and Sergent can do/has both.

Sambou at centre, again offers more pace out wide that we need combined with power and full fime fitness.

Hall at loose forward, agressive, hard as nails and makes few mistakes.

Keep Langtree in the starting 2nd row, powerful and in great form.

Fozzard hopefully fit as bench hooker

Lawton, give him more game time, last 20 mins of the 1st half running out wide.

I was impressed with Banditt, bigger than I thought, gives 4 props for rotation with Murray, Chapelhow and McWhirter.

For next season as well as a running half we need someone with a long kicking game. We had Patton and Abdul with the boot, but not the running game. For me Gilmore, Patton and Richardson are similar players and should all be paired with a running stand off.
