If that doesn't finish in the top 6 next year then something is terribly wrong!

Whilst I agree that it's a decent looking squad I'm not sure its enough for top 6.
Wigan, Warrington, Saints, Catalans, Huddersfield and Leeds all have stronger squads IMO. You could also argue that Hull FC are stronger on paper. That's 7 teams with an arguably stronger squad and I feel Castleford and Hull KR also come close to matching you.
I think this shows the league is evening up somewhat at the middle to higher end but there is still definitely a gulf between 3 or 4 of the teams and the rest of the league.

| Huddersfield still have a signing or two to make, I think. A winger, and a prop, and maybe a loose forward.

Ratchford is a signing that will make sense the year after when Hodgson and possibly Briers will have retired. He is definitely not guaranteed to be in the team next season and will probably have to work as a utility player off the bench.

Depends if Morley is still around. He will be behind him, Cooper, Wood and Carvell in the selection and we also have Solomona and Harrison who can fill in. Hill will spend most time next season in the reserves (note he hasn't played one game of SL before and has to prove his ability) unless Moz retires. Not crazy at all.

| Hull will almost certainly make more signings before next year (a centre and couple of forwards probably), but at this moment in time it would be:
Mckinnon
Sharp
Turner (Gleeson?)
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Seymour
O'Meley
Heremaia
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Westerman

| Hard to say at this point but I would like to see us sign a centre and I think Deacon will play on. If that happens we'll look something like-
S Tomkins
Charnley
New centre
Carmont
Richards
Finch
Deacon
Fielden
Leuluai
Lima
Hansen
J Tomkins
O'Loughlin
Subs
Prescott
Mossop
Hock
McIlorum

I would doubt that, still average halfbacks IMO, Gale and Sammet are Ok but not the type of halfback a top 6 team should have.
Also who knows how good the 2 centres will be?
Although your pack looks good, when I have watched you this year your pack has been bullied a few times and with no additions whose to say it will be any different.
At the moment you are still behind the following teams IMO
Wigan
Warrington
Saints
Hudds
Leeds
Les Cats
Rovers
Hull

Hull problem over the last few years has been no halfback and poor coach hopefully we will have a new coach next year. We also have signed 2 halfbacks giving us starting and cover in that position.
If we get a new coach and at least one more decent foward we should challenge the top 4 IMO.

No worse than this year.
Apart from the couple of games Gleeson has played in, we've managed to go virtually the whole season without a right-side defence

| There does seem to be a bit of a common theme in most people's lineups in that everyone wants/expects a new centre to be signed. Highlights the lack of them in SL right now.

Well, it says something we're trying to pin down a centre in the NRL who's played what, 18-19 games for Brisbane? The game as it is played today excludes centres, it's got to the stage where wingers prefer a kick behind the line or a pass for a standoff to a pass from a centre.

| As it stands at the moment:
1. New Signing (Still need a top class full back imo, but i doubt we will see one)
2. Hall
3. Webster
4. Welham
5. Hodgson
6. Green
7. Dobson
8. O'Hara
9. New Signing (Withers or a re-signed Fisher)
10. Wheeldon
11. Newton (c)
12. Taylor
13. Watts
14. Hodgson. J/Taulapapa/Cox/Horne (Horses for courses position depending on who we're playing)
15. Galea
16. Clinton
17. New Signing (Hopefully Micky Paea or a prop of that type)
Newton and Clinton are both contracted for next season as far as we are aware so they'd still be in the team as it stands.

Rumour is we've offered Hindmarsh a 3 year deal so it looks likely that we'll be bringing in a new pack member to toughen it up a little bit. From what I've seen of the NRL, both are improvements over Platt and Sykes, so that's a start.
I think we'll do well next year - we've seen glimpses of it this year so more consistency next will be a good start.

Simply because with very few exceptions, all of our centres are simply quick 2nd-rowers
