We need a minimum of 2 new props at the end of this season, and 2 more at the end of next.

I get where you are coming from but I’d go with 1 new prop and another player with a bit of flair / attacking threat. Possibly Lafai from Salford at centre.

Think Priors under contract as well, and he was immense last night, back on form.

Doubt we will sign a centre, Sutcliffe Newman then Simpson and Edwards coming through, and then if we keep Hardaker.

You are probably right.
I’m
Guessing Zak replaces Briscoe in the squad and edwards comes back onto the cap.
If we lose Mellor, Dwyer, Thompson, Muizz and Broadbent, there should be a bit of space for 2 decent signings hopefully.
For mine, 1 prop is needed. For the other one I think it’s less clear what position to go for. Someone with some attacking threat and class. Sutty was good last night but a class footballing centre never hurts but neither would a really good forward.
Be interesting to see how many we bring in. I think will only be 2 inc 1 overseas.

Dont think we will bring in many either, we showed last night the squads not as bad as we thought, another prop or 2 props maybe a top Half as Sezar is poor but will reserve judgment until after he goes under RS

Sezer, when fit, isn't poor. Home game against Warrington he practically dragged 12 men over the line to victory. Unfortunately he did his groin in that game and played with a lot pain for six weeks, probably to please a desperate coach. The fact that he is still out shows what a debilitating injury it was. When he comes back he'll go well.

As i said i’l reserve judgement, but well we lost against Warrington so he dint drag us to victory, he looked good at first at Huddersfield then looked disinterested, he looked disinterested so far for us, he didn’t look like a player carrying on injured, but give him benefit of the doubt.

I hope he does come good and RS gets him playing like he did when he first arrived at Huddersfield

Didn't look disinterested to me. Looked like he had a real problem moving. A big issue for any athlete. He might not have looked injured to you, but the fact is - he was. Anyway, let's hope he has a real fight to get back in. If all fit we should have players really having to perform for a starting spot at Full Back, Centre and Half Back.

Obviously people who have never played rugby or football will not know anything about groin injuries. Certainly if you have ever had one you would realise Sezer was handicapped to the point he could not run. Bad management rather than bad player.
