murell will be at 6 until he retires/moves to assistant. its pointless even raising the idea of bringing a new 6 in UNLESS its a younger lad that will be placed under his wing.

7 is a different story, that could be a position that changes but honestly, i just cant see it happening. its been a case of 'bring in a new half back' for what, 3 yrs?

but if it did, could we bring someone in of that high a quality that they are straight in to the team and if so, who? i'd love a Gaskell! We'll see what comes in the off season i suppose!

Penny , gleeson and bedswick no wonder we could score try's then. Yes Muzza is a good bloke who has been well worth the money but Father Time waits for no man and it's time for an on field replacement . I worry about him for Sunday .... But then he will probably pop up and prove us all wrong !

The word around London Broncos is that you have Jarrod Sammut coming your way.

As a player you're right, but as a leader on and off the field you'll find him hard to beat. What we need is a playmaker to take his place on the field, but make sure that he has a position in the coaching staff going forward as he's (imo) unrivalled in his ability to gel a team. We keep on hearing about the fantastic team spirit that Fax have, and where do you think that comes from?

From a recruitment perspective, we miss someone like Martin Hall. He's an unsung hero from the time that we had Penky, Gleeson, Beswick and others on board. Without him, we'd never have managed to get players of their calibre on board.

What the drighlington dynamo lacks in skill and speed,he is a legend at hkr as well,110% every game and worth his weight as a leader and inspiration and a top bloke as well.

Sorry but it's a Rooney-esque scenario for me with Muzza. At what point do you say ok time to move on, on the pitch at least.

Now.

Nah, there's another year left in Murrell. Problem is everything good has to go through him, and that says more about those around him than Murrell himself. He could move to a more of a Grix-type role if someone else could take the strain at half-back.

Be interesting to see how Connor Robinson gets on against us next year.

Too much sentiment,the right time now for a different course.
