I reckon we need a winger, a centre, at least one prop, a couple of 2nd rowers and a hooker.

Most of all we need to recruit bigger players, even compared to some sides this season we've looked a bit on the small side.

Barrow, Halifax and Dewsbury look enormous compared to us.

Winger - What about Mapals for speed?
Centre - Nothing wrong with Daley Williams
Hooker - What's wrong with 'Buster'?

I agree that we need bigger players but speed is there - it's up to Barry to coach the squad we've got to take the ball on-the-run and play it quickly.

Mapals, despite his obvious devastating speed, is not the best defensively and because of his size is vulnerable under the high cross field kick. Plus we need to replace Sam Gardiner now he's gone.

Nothing wrong with Daley or Dan Potter but we need cover at centre in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with Buster either, but Jermaine Wray's not been the player he was last season.

Players we have are good enough for the division, as we proved against Gateshead in the NRC. We have speed in our back line, but they are to bust running side to side than forward, We need the Backs to support the forwards, Who have proved they can offload when need to, but usually no one there.

Kicking game need to improve a lot, go for 40 twentys, look for the gaps from the kickoff, and drill the ball on the ground, I rememeber We did it against Doncaster in a friendly, and it worked great.

Stop falling asleep 10 mins before halftime, points difference WILL be important in this division.

I think we need someone who can get a grip of things at times.
Someone who can slow things down. To many times wrong options are taken and if we had maybe a older head out there, this wouldn't happen as much.

nick fozzard wouldve been ideal, or someone of his calibre and age.

Whoever we sign though it has to be within our means.

There's no point staying up if we go bankrupt. Hopefully lessons from the past will have been learnt.

what I meant was an experienced prop who can offload in the tackle, you don't think were short in that department because I do.
