Another starting prop and second row for me, six (Maloney...?), and then I’d be happy to run with what we have for 2020. I would much rather we bring in some real quality around a young and developing team; they need role models and inspiration. I would get rid of any player who wasn’t training and playing with the required attitude, and bring the culture tightly together. Get it tied up before the closed season and then work danglers off.

I agree that's the dream KJ.

It's all a bit Catch22. Without a coach how do you define a culture and know which players you want. But without a coach some players will be reluctant to come.

Yes that's a good point. Its dangerous to wait until end of season to appoint the new coach. It could seriously damage recruitment.

For me agree with KJ. But id want 2x second rowers not just one.

When you’ve done this Rhino-Mark, can we play you then.

Maybe even we will beat you

The only one I would keep out of that lot mate is Donaldson who as a squad filler is pretty handy and relatively cheap.
I would also add Sutcliffe and Myler to your list.

I would keep Donaldson too, wont cost much and has been one of our better performers to be honest.

I disagree on Sutcliffe (which will be unpopular on here with some) but he is a very handy squad player as he can play multiple positions, the issue is saying he is a SO or a SR he isn’t he is a utility player

I can play a number of multiple positions, but I don't think I am fit enough anymore. But if that's all it takes . Ability has got to be at the front of any utility.

And personally I think he has enough ability to warrant a squad place

And so do i.To say he has no ability is ludicrous,he can kick goals tackle and score a try or three and we get value for money from him.He gets on the field more than so called better players.

Watched the Penrith v Manly game this morning and Maloney game managed Penrith to a scrappy win.
Rumours are strong that he could be in SL as soon as this season and we will soon find out as the transfer deadline is fast approaching.
