Must be delaying it for Croft surely.

I really like how the team is shaping up for next year, our 1 - 6 looks like it could be one of the best in the league.
1. Miller
2. Handley
3. Newman
4. Momorovski
5. Fusitua
6. Croft

Even tho Frawley clearly isnt the best hb in the world, I feel like him and Croft compliment eachother well. Frawley taking more of an organiser role (which he excels at according to a multiple raiders twitter pages). Then Croft playing as a running 6 which should see him be the same massive attacking threat he was at Salford. Both halves have a good chance at bringing the best out of each other.

Assuming Croft signs for us.
Still think Saints and Wigan have better backs 1 - 7

Wigan maybe, Saints no, they are lacking pace and only have one decent winger, our centres are better, and I don’t rate dodd at all.

Lots will depend on Mik and Holroyd next season I reckon. Tom was very good first half and then tailed off a bit: Mik started relatively poorly and very slowly improved through the year.

We will need both towards top form consistently to challenge next year.

Martin will appreciate being back in the second row. Still big questions over who will partner him.

Whatever we’re doing at 6 with Croft, it needs sorting out and then I’m still hoping with something at 9 and maybe another prop. Eseh and Hudson would be an interesting back up to our first choice 4.

Agree wrt Dodd who looks good behind a dominant pack.
We have a very good 1-7 assuming Croft signs and the rest stay fit.
Our forwards let us down and needs bolstering.

Yes it feels like we are a good prop short. Rohan has spoken about Sangare being given time to settle, whether he can really step up could be key for us next year.
