Still think we will sign 2 more players, a centre and a forward.

Have we had a definitive update on the quota rules yet? I guess as it stands Carlos will be leaving.

I still don't think Sezer's the type of half we need but a lot of West Tigers fans have been posting many favourable comments about him on facebook which is encouraging.

Unless I've missed someone are Hardaker and Chamberlain and maybe Litten the only centre's we have for next season. If so that's madness we desperately need another one.

Guessing Rapana will be an option and Ryan Westerman too but yes, definitely could do with another one.

Think Dawson will be above Westerman, think he would have played first team this year without his injury

But yes, if we keep Walker and play Rapana there, think we are OK, if we lose Walker, we need another centre from somewhere.

Roman Dawson would probably have made his debut if he wasn't injured, hopefully he'll come into contention next year at some point.

Are the players incoming better than those who are leaving?

Rapana - Walker presumably?
Hardaker - Sutcliffe
Chamberlain - Scott
Cartwright - Okunbor
Aydin - Jack Brown
Briscoe - Mcintosh
Cust - Morgan Smith
Abdull - Nu Brown
Sezer - Hoy
Bourouh - Houghton
Asiata - Pele?
Holmes - ?

Plus the emergence of Martin, Moy, Balmforth. Hopefully Barron can continue to impress and Staveley comes back strong.

Looking at it as a whole, I'd say we've improved the squad overall. Does it still have gaps? 100% I don't think anyone would deny that.

The club has been on a slow and steady decline for the last 5 plus seasons, it might take a steady increase to get back to where we want to be.

Totally agree with this post.. the key component to all of this is John Cartright and how he gets us gelled as a team, like what Peters has done at rovers.

And Rowley, I'm not convinced if we had signed, Brierley, Cross, Hakinson, Ackers, Watkins etc, they would have made the same impact at Hull.

It's not expected to change until next year as far as I'm aware.

Don't know how true it is but I've heard Carlos is going to York next season
