Let's look at who will be likely going.

Tommy Saxton, Adam Robinson, miles greenwood ??. Marshall seems to prefer Johno at fullback. Gareth Potts.

I think we need another centre who can service a winger, too long have our wingers been scapegoats but they don't get good ball.

We also need to beef up our pack and get some rough, tough, mongrel in there. Tangata has been emended but cahalane hasn't kicked on this year from last years outstanding performances.

For me the forwards were very strong last season but this season we got outmuscled on occasions Batley at home been one and Fev at home another. We need another big forward and a second rower to replace Divorty. We are crying out for a quality centre because this season we dont have enough strike players who can break a tackle. For me need another pivot with pace. We need 4 quality players to challenge next season for top 4.

Before we announce signings I would like our BOD to tell us what we are targeting next year, their silence is ridiculous, or are they all away on their holidays?

If we are aiming to stay part time, which I am sure we are, are we aiming to be the best part time side or are we aiming for a certain league position? Once we know the aim we can assess the quality of the signings and then we can measure their success during the season. But frankly if the BoD can't explain what we are aiming for how the heck are is as fans supposed to know.

The squad this season was too big in any case. Too much chopping and changing trying to keep players happy. We need a smaller squad with a settled side with a few utility players who can cover different positions. Smeaton was a waste of a signing because what is point of having 3 specialist Centre's when only 2 can get in side.

Our problem in getting any top players in is that we are part time and top line players will be after FT contracts so at most we can only get the best of the rest.

Hi. Mr negative here.

We won't improve under the current Board of Directors.

All the sponsors appear to be small local businesses.

The Council are over the top regarding match day servicing.

Prices are too high to attract new fans.
There appears no effort to attract new fans.

I expect us to sign players on similar contracts that Dewsbury offer.

Oh, and Ridyard and McNally
