He’d count on the overseas quota though.

Be partially cap exempt as new talent allowance though

He'd be telling Stevie Ward to get off his sick bed and walk every other week.

He'll be useful if we ever have to play at the swimming pool in Cas

The worrying thing is, to me we don’t have a single candidate to be our main leader. Ward yes, but he’s rarely on the field.

Successful teams have many leaders where a number of them could be captain.

If Merrin goes, we need to sign one. If gale comes in, he is our only option.

When you're in the Championship he'd only need 5 loaves & 2 fish to feed you.

There in lies what has been one of our biggest issues over the last few years.

As much as we jest, we're very short on any real candidates for the job.

If Myler is still here, he gets the gig I think. If he isn't probably go for Martin or Walker. Martin has settled in very well last year and will hopefully get better next year. Walker is very young and still has plenty of improvement in him but his way of playing the game and throwing himself into everything feet first can't be denied.

A lot could depend on what we do with recruitment of a hooker. If we go to look to spend the marquee money there then we might be light in the front row but really a hooker would probably be our most influential signing right now.

Another tough off season coming up trying to get all the pieces to fit.

Here’s one especially for Marty & Gotcha and more likely than the trinity of Hurrell, Sutcliffe or Jesus.

Brett Ferres.....

Ward for me.

But if we go for Jesus, it would be better for him to play a few games for Carnegie first then we could sign him as exempt from cap for first year. With 12 disciples to follow him it would fill the leadership void. He would nearly have as many parables to tell as JJB.

I do worry that if Ferres stays he will get it. To me that is an awful decision.

I'm not onboard with walker either. Someone earlier compared him to Iestyn which was appalling. Iestyn in his day is head and shoulders above anyone in our current squad. Walker has enough on his plate learning how to pass so don't see him as captain material at this point.
