I don't think we are done with our business yet - I'd still expect to see a starting backrower added.

I think several teams will be better next year. Wigan will be outright favourites, Hull KR look stronger, Catalan look stronger, Saints can't be as bad next year surely? Wakey will be better than London and whilst Hull FC can't get any worse, I don't think they will be challenging top 6 based on their signings.

I think we need to improve just to stand still, but we still have cap space to do that I think. We're missing a great back rower and an impact prop. I'm not sure we will get the latter without some movement in the squad elsewhere.

Really hoping Lindop can kick on and be first choice centre next year, I don't think Tai is good enough to be a top 4 centre - though he is a very solid back up option.

[quote="Wires71":8xfew003]Reading on here it seems we are putting a lot of faith in Hayes who, after all, has played 11 1/2 games of top level RL.[/quote:8xfew003] It certainly does and it's a big ask given his age and lack of experience. In his favour, he is brave, confident, strong in defence and seems well organised with an eye for a pass and could be a really good foil for Williams. It still leaves us with no real long kicking game when we're looking to clear our lines when under pressure. From what I saw last season we have no-one with a decent long kick. That makes a difference in a tight game especially when someone like Harry Smith is in the opposition team. Hope he does really well this year and becomes a local legend. Burgess & others obviously rate him very highly.

Brilliant news, hope it's not just to fend off NRL clubs though.

Be surprised if his loyalty isn’t rewarded with vice captaincy. Williams captain.

[quote="Matt King's kitten":2ulgr281]Brilliant news, hope it's not just to fend off NRL clubs though.[/quote:2ulgr281] Well Canberra already tried that while he was still in his previous contract, I’m thinking this is 100% hands off with this new one.
