Be interesting to see who we try and bring in.Personally i would like to see Sutcliffe given the 6 shirt but with Sinfield and JP off the books at the same time would surely give us enough cash to go for a high profile forward which is what i would like to see us do.

This is the most worrying aspect for next year. Talk about transition!

I think the Sleeve will promote from within ,but I expect a couple of signings

My best memory was at the mcalpine when he kicked a touch line conversion to take the game into extra time!

I remember Kevin Sinfield. Legend. What more can be said?

Promote Sutcliffe and, as you say, use the space on a top notch forward to add to Cuthbertson, Singleton and the juniors they're bringing through. A monster pack will help young halves develop better whereas a poor pack will not help a marquee half back.

Listening to the interview with GH on the Rhinos website he makes it sound very much like that we'll go with Sutcliffe and not recruiting for that particular position.

No fear, I'm not going anywhere

The team will miss Sinny for sure, but he was due to be gone after next year if this move to Union had not come up. Yep it will be tough to replace Sir Kev and JP, but we all knew it was coming including GH et al, so hopefully a succession plan is in place and we will move onward an upward after a brief (fingers crossed) period of transition.

Given that we already have space for a decent signing (the spare 25 shirt from the start of the season) plus JP, Sir Kev and Kylie off the books you'd think there was room for more than one boom player.
