What about Danny Brough? Looks like he might be on his way out as his latest club have had to suspend him for his latest breach of discipline. maybe with a strict disciplinarien like Steve Mac guiding him he might sort him out.

You can hardly call Steve McNamara a strict disciplinarien when his players clearly do not have the discipline needed to concentrate for 80 minutes, consistently. I've stayed quiet on Steve McNamara for a long time, I've given him as much time as I could possibly bare, now my support for him is running thin. I think we need a new head coach.

Well I think about 4-5 are needed next season, which isn't really a mass clearout.

Platt to a championship side where he belongs, -ideally- Karmichael Hunt to replace but that may not be very realistic.

Deacon dropped to reserves, either Brett Kimmorley, Darren Lockyer or Matt Orford to replace.

Langley either put into cover for prop or sold and get a good LF: either Dene Halatau or Reni Maitua.

Not sure about Centres, it'd be a toss up between a centre and an impact prop.
Justin Poore comes to mind for prop, then for centre i'd go with Brett Delaney- He's young, fast and still learning.

So my team for next season would be (it will never happen but):

Karmichael Hunt
Halley
Delaney
Nero
Sheriffe
Lockyer
Jeffries
Lynch
Newton
Scruton
Burgess
Menzies
Dene Halatau

Worrincy
Kopzcak
Rinaldi (I'd have him over Wagga)
Scruton


Then contesting for places on form:

Crookes
Sykes
Langley
Matt Cook
Matt James (if he re-signs)

And the rest of the young 'uns.

Not one of those players would come to a dire team in England. Especially Lockyer. If he comes over, expect him to be at a better team.

Hunt simply wont come to Super league. Either Japanese Rugby Union, Or he will stay in the NRL, because he is still being selected for the Kangeroo's.

People need to get realistic on any player from the NRL. Unless there on the verge of retiring, or pretty lost there talent they wouldn't come to Bradford.

Not a right lot of difference between Lockyer and Menzies. He's 36 and still the best stand off in the world by Aussie selection processes. No way would i rule him coming to Bradford. Mind you he might...

I doubt he would come. He has never won the world club championship, and hes always said thats what he wants to win. That means he's either going to go to Saints or Leeds if ho does come over; But I doubt he will.

Even if Lockyer came over, i don't think he could change Bradford into a top 3/4 team again. We need a good squad. Not just one great player.
