I actually think kirmond has been below average the past 18 months. Obviously injuries play their part but I just hope he gets plenty of rest to come back and do himself justice. Another poor season and I'd let him go.

I'd rather work on trying to keep the good ones we have.

Miller would be number one for me, and I think I might even make him captain
Godinet would be next though obviously strong rumours about St Helens are bound to turn his head.
Tim Smith I'd keep but if he wanted to go I think there are good players around who would compliment Miller well. Smith has to want to stay to make it worth while but he's clearly good when he is good.
Lee Smith is another I'd like to keep.

The pack is very important after that. Some are already signed up but Ashurst and Molloy would be good to keep along with Kirmond to make a decent back row.

Well all I can say is thank god your not in charge of retention and recruitment. Miller as captain? I hope that was written with tongue in cheek.

Are you sure about Miller staying, it was suggested he was only here for one season and he is returning to OZ with a contract already sorted.

Re: Transfer News : Tue Sep 01, 2015 10:38 am  

He himself suggested on Twitter last week that he would be here next year.

Not sure about him being captain, but I personally hope he stays on for next year.

Well there are probably others but we don't really have a true leader in the team anyway.
When he was Captain against Hull he was comping at everyone and really seemed to get the team excited.

Ultimately I assume it will go back to Kirmond anyway, but I'd give him a senior role.

I don't like a hb as captain - they've got enough to think about; especially one like Miller, who's all over the place in both attack and defence. Let him do what he's doing and don't upset the applecart by burdening him with the captaincy.

Plenty of senior players who can give leadership - Scruton and Anderson for starters, with some younger lads who look like they have the right attitude to develop leadership skills under their mentorship.

Just as matter of interest who do we know for certain is already signed up for next year ? So far I think we may have ::

Lyne
Johnson
Owen
Jowitt
Arundel

Scruton
Yates
Howarth
Kirmond
Crowther

Feel free to add or amend but that's all I can think of

Think Ali is signed up for another season isn't he?

Re: Transfer News : Tue Sep 01, 2015 7:06 pm  

Think he has an option.
