I'd be looking to recruit a new winger. We're either going to lose Fonua or release Talanoa.

Need another impact forward to replace one of the retiring players also.

The rest I think we're doing pretty well with. Recruit from within or buy in some youth with potential.

A quality back up hooker/half back coming available is the only one I'd change plans for. We've seen how much we've struggled with the loss of Houghton and Kelly. Washy I'd an ok plug but not near their level at all. Let's snatch Danny Brough from Huddersfield as a bench player when they get relegated

I'd make a big play for McGillvary. Right up Radford's street in style.

He'd be a very good acquisition.

Would be perfect for us IMO. Unfortunately has strong emotional ties to Huddersfield so unless they go down can't see it.

Very difficult from a song creation perspective though

nobody has mentioned carlos or sika yet. as overseas players there might be a risk we could lose them early if they want to return home or the NRL come calling, and both are still of an age where they can play at the highest level for a while yet. i would be extending both of their contracts if possible as they have transformed our right sided attack. manu in particular does some very clever things down that side and when you remember how dodgy this side was before they came along, i think they could be pretty difficult to replace.

Don't be shocked if that's the case if he hangs up his boots.

Loking at few teams OOC lists

I'd be happy with either Tautai or Fifita.

Wouldn't mind Saveilo coming off the bench either.

I'd also make offers to both Livett and Philbin, but doubt they will leave.
