Re: Recruitment
Alex Foster should be the replacement for Webster.
We are very strong in the back row department. And he has to play. Still aspects of the game to learn positionally. But he's young enough.

No way, OK filling in occasionally but he is a back rower and a good one at that. Lets get a quality centre in if Jake is finishing.dettoriman wrote:Alex Foster should be the replacement for Webster.

Re: Recruitment
This season has shown we need every body we can get in the pack.
Millo/Watts/Cook/Moors/Clark as props
Holmes/McMeeken/Foster/JSL/Wardle as back-rowers
Milner/Massey as loose forwards
Maher and Douglas unknown where their future lies.

when will folk learn? Jesse will play in the middle. That's where Powell wants him. Holmes / Wardle left edge. Mcmeeken/ Fozz right edge.
Powell will go with 3 props on the bench and a loose forward.
8 Watts
10 Millo
11 Holmes / Wardle
12 Mcmeeken
13 Milner
14 Jesse
15 Junior
16 Fozz / Massey
17 Cook / Clark
if Maher and Douglas go I'd like to see 1 more prop.

Re: Recruitment
outstanding today. Only worry is being able to do it on a consistent basis. Would be a good squad player but like Jy takes a quota spot.tigerfeat wrote:What you think about qlt Moley I thought he was good today looks to be loving it at cas

Why would we want to get rid of Holmes n why would Holmes want to leave? What a strange comment isn't Holmes under contract for another year or 2?Mysterio wrote:I would honestly let Holmes go if it meant two HQ players brought In

Re: Recruitment
Holmes is getting better and better. He's been in and out of the team and his form has suffered. Was good yesterday by all accounts and his try showed real pace. A Cas lad we should be keeping, I think he's got a 2 year deal.jackknife wrote:Why would we want to get rid of Holmes n why would Holmes want to leave?

Re: Recruitment
I think Holmes will be another dean Sampson. A one club man.
Thought his pace for his try was special.
He certainly wanted to get to the line.

Re: Recruitment
Why on Earth would we want to let Ollie Holmes go. His best years are ahead of him.
Another prop and a centre if possible if Webster leaves.after that I think our 2019 squad is done. I don't see the point in doing what we did last year bringing players in just to bolster the squad, you then spend the rest of the year trying to off load them to give them game time.

Re: Recruitment
On recruitment in general, I'd hazard a guess that we're done.
The debate on Holmes is interesting though. I don't question his effort and in particular his defensive qualities are top end. However, for me there are far too many occasions when our renowned left side attack breaks down when he gets involved. Last year was the prime example; when he was out we set opposing teams aside but on his return we merely got by.
I'll continue to monitor with interest...

Re: Recruitment
There was an interesting comment from Wells on golden point last week where he said once you have a decent team there's no need for wholesale changes, it's just tinkering here and there.
On that basis, I can't see us doing much more. I still think we have a spot for possibly 1/2 more players, possibly another forward and another centre but that's about it. Money will have gone into retention and faith in the likes of Gill. If we look at outgoings:
Hitchcox >>>> Gill
Green >>>> Clark
Springer >>>> providing the rumours about him being offloaded are true
Webster >>> (if he doesn't go around again).

Re: Recruitment
I think we need one more massive sized prop who can offload - someone like the size of Murdoch Masila /Pauli Pauli with an offload like Cuthbertson - anyone you would recommend who may be available ?? Get Gale and Trueman to be buzzing around this type of player for the offload will create havoc for opposing teams !!
QLT looks to be hanging in ok at full back for another season but Mamo would be a consideration as the extra one player needed also as if we get the offloading big prop as suggested earlier tying in with Gale and Truman and the speed of either QLT/Mamo will have teams in big trouble defending especially with Greg further out with his speed backed up with Peter M and Minikin !
Peter M I think needs to stay in centre and take over from Jake as I think he won't be anywhere as effective as he has been - the writing was started when Burgess handed him off way too easily early doors season and it really affected his confidence in the remainder of that Wigan game as he finished off have a shocker ! May get one more season out of Shenton so I would leave him in for next season.

Re: Recruitment
We are not done yet according to Powell. FB still a priority with 2019 in mind (although some one could make it there's) so if that's the case QLT will go when end of season and Mata'utia is a replacement for Webster who will also depart.
