You are indeed correct, I'd actually swap them round and have Briscoe on the right.

and play Sharp in his correct position on the left, pah, that'll never catch on!

The trouble is there are so few quality players coming on to the market now and with the situation down under now working against us recruiting there. A long hard look needs to be taken at our needs and what is available, throwing money at the problem is a short term measure.

A new coach is our top priority, one who can utilise what we have with a few quality players thrown in because we need time to develope and or hire in troops.

people are being unfair to Sharp, give him a chance with a decent coach.

I agree, I like him. Makes plenty of metres and can finish well but just needs to cut the errors out of his game. Mainly dealing with kicks, guess it will always be hard for him with him being small.

I wouldn't touch Lee Smith as he has been woeful this season.

In terms of props I would certainly take Lynch (small fee), Griffin and Bailey. People will turn their noses up at Bailey but he would do a good job and add some size to our side.

I'd be willing to take Bailey too, but can't see him leaving Leeds.

Hodgson is an improvement on Fox. O'Hara is an improvement on Lovegrove.

So I guess it is improving the squad but it's not particularly improving it by much.

Hodgson is a cheaper option and we'll get a similar end product. Lovegrove isn't leaving rovers but Vella is so O'Hara is a replacement for Vella and we'll probably save 80k on our cap in doing so. All in all out the two signings alone I reckon we'll save £100k

Indeed but where making progress. Where down to now losing only 250k a season

factor in paying off Morgan and the low season pass sales once your new "up and coming" coach is announced and, if I were a KR fan, I would be very worried. The £1m "loan" from the Allams seems to have made a massive difference honest.

Hudgell is a fool.

I don't think any more signings be announced till end of the season
