1, With the investment that's been put into the squad how happy are you that wefinished closer to the relegation zone than the top of the league considering the number of representative players we have compared to other teams.

2. Do you feel the current coach is getting the most of the current squad? There has been a complete lack of expansive play especially since early summer. Tries for Charnley and Lineham have completely dried up and we seem unable to score apart from a kick to the corner.

3. What was the reasoning behind getting rid of Brown to Leigh? We had trained all pre season for Austin and Brown. As soon as Brown gets fit we offload him to Leigh and bring in Smith who hasnt set the world on fire. At least Brown had pre season to get a partnership with Austin whereas Smith has come in and has had to start a fresh and hasnt really worked.

4. Why does it seem that long serving players are ushered out of the club quietly. There seems to have been a few over the years that have left under a cloud much like Atkins this season.

How come the team hit a proverbial brick wall at saints away and challenge cup aside never seemed to recover from that defeat, and performances have got steadily worse from that point

1. Who is in charge of signings and are we likely to see them improve in the next couple of seasons. Barring Austin and Charnley our signings in the last 5 years have been average at best.

2. When does the form, style of play and players attitude and performance become an issue that needs to be reviewed?

3. Are we likely to make anymore signings? It's clear as day we need another prop or two.

Cut to the chase...
Are we getting a no nonsense Prop...like Hill and Coops...not another mobile 2nd rower/prop?

What are the plans for Patton?

What ideas do you have for getting better attendances?

1. Would Karl agree that other than Challenge Cup final result, our form and performances since the start of June has been poor and well below the required standards. Is it a worry that the character & behaviour towards SL games in the regular season seems to be ‘well it doesn’t matter we are in the playoffs/anyone can beat anyone on the day’

2. Why have the club brought in a 32 year old half back that hasn’t played consistent Super League the last two years? Behind Richardson at Saints in 2018 and behind Gigot/Langi at Catalans 2019. While allowing Kevin Brown to go to Leigh, whom seems to of been released for nothing other than suffering a bad Achilles injury in which he has now recovered from. Now that Leigh have been knocked out the playoffs in the Championship, are we able to recall him?

3. Given that 7 players have left/due to leave at the end of the season. What work is being done in terms of recruitment for 2020? As clearly we lack firepower in the pack & a centre to replace Goodwin.

This this and this, why has the creativity seemingly disappeared and expansive play none existant. Is this just the way Price wants us to play?

And yes what's happening on the Prop Front?

Q) Do the board and club custodians already view this as a successful season?
