So come on guys, who do we need to bring in to get the squad in a position to mount a challenge next year, assuming semi is also leaving -

Realistic suggestions only

It's looking paperthin isn't it James?

I think another prop and backrower are the most crucial positions we mut fill now.

I'm not a Moimoi fan at all. He gets gassed with far to much ease.

Wouldn't mind Westwood after thinking about it.

It is looking pretty worrying, however, I can not believe the club have not got a number of suitable signings lined up.

Even before Burgess 'officially' went, we had some serious positions to fill.

Regardless of clubs wanting to sell and players actually being available I would go for Brough, Lyon, Walker, Westerman and an impact prop.

how many overseas players can you bring in, 2?

will the money you've collected in transfer fees be available?

Its getting worrying late to pick up quality players for next year unless some deals are well advanced down the pipeline.
It may not be a case of who we want, rather than who remains available.

Hood said last week that the Tadulala issue would be finalaised by last week-end. So far its the same deafening silence we have come to expect.

Personally I hope there are some announcements made pretty soon, cos at the moment I`m feeling very deflated with the confirmation of Sam`s move. Obviously, it`s been on the cards, and we all knew it was going to happen, but the reality has finally hit home.

Come on Peter Hood, put a spring back in our steps.

Lets try and unsettle the likes of Leeds and Saints by making offers to the likes of Graham, Roby, Eastmond, Webb, Sinfield etc!

Do you think the howls of laughter might put them off their semi-finals this weekend?

What's your squad looking like as we speak? ie current contracted players and confirmed signings.

the money you get for burgess will not go on players it is to pay off debt. JUST LIKE FEILDENS LESSES AND HAPE.YOU ARE THE NEXT WIDNES!!!!!!!

The club has no debt. Hasn't had since about 2002 or 2003.
