I still feel we're a little light in the centres.

One centre as far as I can see, the other options are converted wingers or back rowers.

I'd agree with one, then there is always Lee Gilmour as cover.

Strange one for me as Mathers and Moore showed more worth for new deals going on their efforts and performances last season. But we obviously need wingers. Owen looked alright at times and scored some tries, just seemed to find himself in the wrong position too often, defensively. Hopefully he'll kick on next season as he could go well for us.

If we are relying on Gilmour then we are in a much worse situation than even I believe.

Lynne and Collis for me in the centres. As long as they stay fit we'll be ok and Matt Ryan is great cover if not rather than Lee Gilmour. Ryan competing with Ashurst for the starting second row slot will be interesting.

At this moment that's how I see it. Be interesting to see what loans we'll go for and how many.

Can't see how Owen earned himself a 1 year deal let alone 3 with his performances last year! We've le players who had better a better season go and we remain a centre short! Similar pattern emerges at wakefield no matter who the coach is!
