100% agreed sadly. We will be marginally better, but Wakefield will be stronger than London. Bottom 2 for me also.

One more quota signing, needs to be someone like Stephen Crichton to tune this around.

Just to play devil's advocate if you look at the team we started with this year then look at next year's team which will include Asiata, Cust, Abdul, Sezer, Hardaker - that's a massive improvement surely

Step forward Jordan Abdull our new running half back.

Get him on a short ball near the line, unstoppable!

Joking aside, as long as you've got someone pushing up on his shoulder he could actually be quite effective taking the line on. His size means he should be able to poke his nose should and get his arms free a fair bit.

Anyway, enough of that. It's all rubbish and we're doomed to failure!

Have to agree. All the other sides will be looking to strengthen also.

Maybe marginal but definitely not massive.

Not good enough to get us off the bottom reaches.

He makes Rich Whiting look like Jai Field!

You make him sound like a ball handling prop!

I’m sure every team is shaking in their boots at the thought of a Cust/abdull/sezer combination in the halves.

He's built like one, might as well play to his strengths

I'm desperately trying to add some levity!
