Quote ="Saddened!"I don't think people should be putting so much faith in Luke Walsh just yet. He's a player that has clearly blown hot and cold in the NRL and could very easily be another disaster of a signing.
The club is still a bit of a joke at the moment. We've got very little depth in any position.
Fullback - Covered
Wing - Two very average players in Swift and Makinson. No Ryan Hall's here
Centres - Turner is average, struggling to see who the other centre is at the moment?
Stand off - We don't have any
Scrum half - One experienced player who may be great, but is inconsistent and seems very much a confidence player in Walsh. No backup at all
Hooker - Roby, but no depth beyond him unless we sign Howarth
Prop - Possibly the worst set of props in the top half? Walmsley is progressing nicely, Masoe is unproven but hopefully won't be a Feka-esque farce. Clough, Beaumont are all very average players. Have I missed any?
Backrow - Sia and Manu are quality, Wilkin should be a bench player now. Jones adds some depth here as well.
Loose - LMS has been an absolute revelation there in the last few games. Can he keep it up? Flanagan, if he's resigned is depth, but another very average player.
Any talk of us winning trophies is still very premature. We haven't got a good enough backline to rival the likes of Leeds, Wigan or Warrington in a meaningful game, we've got no stand off and a decent prop light.
We will also no doubt still have Paul Wellens and Anthony Laffranchi stinking the place out for another season, wasting a spot in the 17 each week.'"
I basically agree. We need at least one prop. We need a centre (not had two centres for aprox 5 years). We need a stand off.
If we don't sign the above positions then IMO its a struggle for top 4.
