Squad for Next Year So Far
Re: Squad for Next Year So Far
Then the minikin before July withe clare will create genuine competition for places. Also Clare can play full back. Wouldn't need to distrupt Eden / Roberts if we used JC as an option. Personally would release Jy, from a quota perspective.

Re: Squad for Next Year So Far
Swapping hardaker for Clare really would be a gutting blow, I liked Clare when we had him, but he isn't really that good. I know it will be near impossible to get anyone at hardaker a level but an actual fullback would be good, not a winger who can play there
Re: Squad for Next Year So Far
For me the only player who genuinely can play the full back role we need in our current squad is Benny can find a pass catch a kick and put on a shot when needed Eden is too potent on the wing for me. I don’t think we lose a great deal from having Ellis in the halves and Benny move to the back as Benny can then play all over and play what he sees in front of him his most dangerous part is running and hopefully he can find gaps and be a real nightmare for other teams.
Re: Squad for Next Year So Far
I don’t want to sound like a broken record but what the hell is happening at our club if it’s true that Clare has resigned for cas, what message does that send to the promising youngsters at our club. When are they going to be given a shot. Who are people trying to kid when they say Clare playing full back he was played there before and didn’t do a very good job. If people think we are going to be pushing for silverware again they are diluded, No signing that we have made this year apart from wardle fills me with confidence. Feel like the club are nowhere as ambitious as the supported are

RL is a salary-capped sport. We can’t just go out and sign the best players in every position.
In previous years, we have lost our best players after successful seasons. This year, we have retained all the players we wanted to from a squad that won the league by a record-breaking margin and made the GF (although there are still issues with Hardaker, this is not the club’s fault).
Trying not to derail the thread, but I think it’s also worth remembering that the Hardaker affair isn’t clear yet either. If he escapes a ban we don’t want to have spent money signing another full back.
Re: Squad for Next Year So Far
I too think the squad is good enough to be up there at the top, now signing Coray is a bit mystifying the lad could not get near the Leeds team last year when at times they were crying out for an half back, JOE MOON played stand off for most of the season , we keep saying in Powel we trust I hope he as got it right once again

Re: Squad for Next Year So Far
I know I sound like an old record but I thought the current England under 19s full back ought to be listed as a possible full back

Whats the point of listing players twice?HuddsTigers wrote:FB: Roberts, Eden, Clare, Hitchcox

A more realistic view of the squad would be:
Full back ?
Wing: Eden Lo Clare Hitchcox
Centres: Shenton Webster Minikin Egodo Gill
Halves: Roberts Gale Trueman Aston Ellis
Props :Millington JSL Cook Moors Springer Green Clark
Hookers: McShane
SR: McMeeken Wardle Holmes Foster
LF: Milner Massey
We look to have quite a big squad, maybe a little unbalanced though and we could have probably sacrifeced a couple of backs in favour of another couple of forwards when you would think 10 of the 14 would be involved most games.
