I'm worried that Wynne may go just purely because we have other Full Backs, he's one of the few who actually puts a shift in and at least is a threat in broken play

I'm a fan of Wynne, shows fight has pace to burn. Hope we keep him, has utility value too.

Think Hodgson has bigger fish to fry than Wynne.

I've only seen him in a few games, but he has impressed me.

I've been reading Beaumont's latest rant, think a few of their players might be looking for new clubs, Sidlow wouldn't be a bad signing for a year.

Sidlow signed a new deal a week or so ago

Need to see some turnover of players to keep passes ticking over or else people will think they're signing up for more of the same. Think most want to see a new 1st choice hooker and a prop.

Personally want to see a new number 7, it's OK having a 7 that can get you upto the opponents line but he needs to be able to get you over it.

As for creating the cap space and quotas for this, I'd look at offering fonua to other clubs on a free transfer as long as they pay his wage, same with Houghton, Johnstone, masi, bowden and even scott

That I can't answer, would like to think they is options out there. The likes of masi etc I'd bring academy lads through, nothing to lose on that scenario

We need to have a look in the championship for a young hooker or halfback, it will hard as the standard isnt great when you look at fevs team and the fact Craig Hall is one of the best players on the division, but they are out there. I'd look at London, they are going part time and always have good players coming through, look at KPP at Wigan, never played a first team game and has been fantastic this year.

I hear good things about a young halfback they have called Oli Leyland, I hope we are looking at him and others at London.

Yeah he looks a very good prospect

It's okay all you fans calling for a big turn over but there's not a big pool of available players out there, think back to last season when clubs fans were suggesting the need to sign Remi Casty, not just FC, other fans were talking about him too, this time around the player pools just the same that fans are talking up Adam Sidlow. If that doesn't tell you what's available I don't know what does.

Casty would have added leadership which is badly lacking, but that is that is last winter's discussion.

Just seen yet another player is leaving Cas, got to hope Radders has been rewatching the Cup win DVDs in his time off and takes one or two players off us.

And what club do you would think would want your supposed cast offs? None in Super league I'm guessing
