Quote ="craigizzard"It's a salary capped sport, we can't have outstanding players all across the park and in reserve too.
We have an outstanding back five, plus better cover (Handley, Keinhorst, Golding) than we've had in years.
We have good half-backs but could possibly do with some better cover.
We have a very good rotation of props, and a couple of young lads in the wings, which could allow us to play Cuthbertson or Singleton at 13.
We have two second rows who are, on form, international quality (Ward, Ablett) plus some other back-rows who range from the average to the excellent if injury-prone.
We have NO starting hooker.
It's pretty clear the area that needs strengthening.
Of course another Ali would be cool, but it's not a priority. After hooker's sorted, then another halfback is the next on the list (depending on whether we rate Lilley as a first team prospect for next year). This would also allow Sutcliffe to play 13 in some games if that's what required. With either Sutcliffe or Cuthbertson at 13 and Ablett/Ward at 11/12 that's a lot of back-rowers on the sidelines already.'"

BUT it seems the club is also VERY aware of this too....so (maybe in contrast to my thoughts in the past) I remain faithful in GH and co announcing somebody soon.
As others have said it will be nice to have great strength accross the park, but it is unrealistic
