If you remember the performance level increase of almost all of the players when smith first took charge then I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that a different coaching perspective could get a lot more from a large proportion of the squad.

We need some signings too, things need shaking up and the professionalism and focus needs to improve dramatically.

I think a different management style is what is needed to achieve exactly that.

There's potential in these players that will be left on the roster, it's just a case of a fresh start under a different ethos that will probably have us see what they can offer.

Lineham-type players could be very good under the correct guidance and the right discipline.

Two wingers, full back, scrum half, stand off, prop forward of the ball playing variety.....

Could we be waiting to see what team gets relegated - Catalan, Leigh or Widnes. Maybe a few players could be of interest.
Catalan - Louis Anderson / Paul Aiton
Widnes - Joe Mellor
Leigh - Ben Reynolds

Only Reynolds worth a punt on out of that list

Tony Gigot wouldn't be a bad signing if Catalans went down.

It surprised me when Leeds let Aiton go ,he seems a handful on the field & being without him didn't help Leeds last season.
Wasn't Gigot mentioned earlier in the season as a possible Wire signing ?

Where does Gigot stand with his latest drugs ban? It all seems to have gone quite quiet?
