The problem is we are likely getting Russell and Trueman

Who's going to come that is good enough to improve us but knows they won't get a gig next year.

Likely getting Russell?

We have 10 games left seven at home and three away. We do panic, it was unlikely that we would go all season undefeated in the league. We lose and it’s, this player needs to be replaced. If we finish first and reach the Grand Final then our prize is to play at home.

True, but the manner of the defeat is very disappointing.

I see the problem this way.
We have one FB
two wingers, as I doubt we will see much of Jerry if he doesn't retire with injury and franco is useless
two young centres, as thornley injured yet again so I expect he will contribute very little
Gale looks done to me and every team are now sussing him out, Kaye is not an half at all, which only leaves Lino

Our one to five were out played man to man by their opposites today. Plus you don't have options if any further injuries should happen and more backs get crocked

I agree, but the question is, do we have enough to win the championship this year, if the answer is yes, then none of that really matters that much as from next year onwards, we seem to be planning pretty well throughout the squad.

Well the rules regarding the comp aren't something we control Boxer and I reckon you'd not complain about hosting the Grand Final at Odsal if you won the league .

Indeed we don’t. It’s something I have never understood though and voiced many times over. I’m sure the Championship GF could easily sell out a stadium of such as Wire or Leigh etc with a bit of promotion. RFL do not seem interested in making it a proper event though.

After what I have seen today, I am not too sure. Toulouse had a lot in their favour this evening but still they looked far stronger than us in many areas. If we win the league and get to the final, playing them with our present squad would be far from easy even at Belle Vue.
