Minor behaviour compared to Hardaker's rap sheet

Different club different standards I guess, Leigh kept him on despite his drink driving ban

I wouldn't take Nikorima. What would be the point? He wouldn't be here next year, and it would be just spending money for no real reason. Not playing for anything. Play Charles for the most part, with Harman and maybe Medforth getting some game time to see if they can play at SL level. Even Walker at 6 would be an option

Not necessarily Nikorima but any player who becomes available and is a good fit we should be in for. Charles has shown great promise but like what proved earlier on in the season he isn't ready to play every week in fact it could damage the lads progress.

I also don't agree with there's nothing to play for. League position wise maybe but there's still 11 games left and we should be striving to win or at least compete in all those games.

Finishing strongly would at least give us some momentum going forward in to next season and maintain interest. I will renew my pass come what may but if we finish the season in the usual dire fashion others may not.

So if the rumoured comings and goings are true for next year currently we have these "senior" players I think; mixed with more youngsters

Full Back

Moy, Litten, Hardaker, Aussie?

Wing

Baron, Martin, Briscoe, Tindall? - probably going

Centre

Hardaker, Chamberlain, lafai/mcdonald?

Halfs

Abdul, Cust, Trueman - maybe leaving (Unlikely I think)

Props

Ashworth, Sao, Fash, Herman, Aydin

Hookers

Burough, Balmforth, cust

Back Row

Asiata, Cartwright, Stavely, Lane, Holmes

Anyone I've missed? Still a lack of quality but also a lack of depth, particularly in the forwards

Would like to see another big prop brought in if possible.

Same here, imagine if EseEse had got that long ban we'd be stuffed

It's boring more than anything.

Not that this place needs to be an echo chamber of positivity, but the constant droning is tedious
