Agree with you about Smith, appreciate he was moved around a bit but as an experienced player he was totally anonymous against Wakefield.

Our last quota space has got to be used on an out and out 2nd rower.

And one who hopefully has leadership skills.

Hes got 1 more year on his deal at Leeds. Maybe we could offer him 2 years for less money? I completely take the injury prone thing. Even I've said he's made of biscuit, and would still be at Leeds if that wasn't the case.

Would Gale stay for 1 more season as a squad player? I'd let him go, but we might trigger his second year

We must release Gale. That signing has been a disaster.

Please don’t prolong the agony

100%, I look through the team and I don't see anyone who will be that player that sets the standards at training and game prep.

Desperately needed isn’t it. We’ve not had a leader on the pitch since Gaz retired.

Did we not get hammered when Gaz was playing?

Not too often before he retired the first time.

Whilst I am not a massive fan of Hodgson, I like his recruitment

Out
Reynolds, Gale, JJ, Ma'u and Bowden

In
Hoy, Trueman, Sutcliffe, Dywer.

If we can add a decent overseas backrower, move on Shaul and maybe Griffin (Longstaff) then I think we have done very good business.

It would then be as much Hodgson's team and with younger, quicker and more motivated players he can have no excuses next season.

Ideally I bring in another conditioning team too.

A quality NRL second row plus young Longstaff and I think that should do us in terms of recruitment.

Sutcliffe gone off after just seven minutes.
