Like getting away with touching the ref week in week out.

Hull at Home
Huddersfield Away
Wigan at Home
Warrington Away
Leeds at Home
Cas at Home

All games where with a bit more nous we could have (and probably should have) won. It's all ifs and buts however if we'd won all those games we would now be top of the table. That is a remarkable turn around for this club in such a short time and as Cas have proved, the more often you can win, the easier it becomes to build off the back of that.

I'm chuffed with where we have got to so far this season, if we can end the season in 6th or above that is another massive step forwards and puts us in a good position to improve again next year. Just need Rodders to put his money where his mouth is then and the future is very bright.

I would like to see us sign up the following from our current squad

Keegan Hirst - extend one more year.
Jordan Crowther- longer term deal
Dean Hadley- I think it looks like Hull dont want him, so would certainly try to recruit him.
Chris Annakin- extend one or two more years
Max Jowitt- not sure on his contract length, but i'd certainly look at having him tied up with us for the next 3-4 seasons like Tom and Batch are.

Release
Mikey Sio- I think we have moved on from Sio. Did well when he joined but has not progressed as the club has. Also not worth a quota spot.
Jonny Molloy - If he hasnt already left, I would certainly release. I would rather a local potential has his squad place, such as crowther/ batchelor
Walker- I liked him and would sign him again, he always does fairly well when he plays, but the coaching staff obviously dont appear to rate him so I would release. However I'd be happy if he stayed.
Mazive/ Moules/ Morris - haven't been anywhere near first team currently. Probably release and give some new ones a chance if the judgement is there that they wont make it.

I would like to see us bring in a quality 9, a quality halfback if Williams is to leave, and a big go forward prop in the mould of fifita or huby. In terms of 'projects' I wonder if Kear has anyone else from the championship who is worth a go?

Happy to have Randell in. Wood and him hooking immense. A replacement for Williams. A dangerous 2nd row and maybe a centre that can pass crisp to the best wingmen in the league. So I'd say 3. FB a tricky one not sure about Grix for another year. Not sure if he's good enough. If wait to see who gets relegated.
Agree with the guys released in previous post crowther doesn't look like he will ever reach standard unfortunately. Would defo sign Annakin up don't no what the delay is tbh.

Not sure if Grix is good enough?
He's been by far our best player at times and always a key leader of our team.

My gast is well and truly flabbered that anyone who watches RL could say out loud that Grix might not be good enough; he's been our standout player this season and has made a huge difference in both attack and defence - singing him was a masterstroke!

I certainly havent doubted his ability, or Liam Finns for that matter.

My point was that come the end of next season they will both be 34, and you have to ask the question at that age are they good to go round again.

Max Jowitt is more than capable, but theres nothing wrong in having cover. If these were to retire, do you bring in a full back and a half back, or do you bring in someone who can play both equally well.

A lot of sides out there have full backs that have spent time in the halves, and vice versa

Grix will be the first choice full back next year with Jowitt playing more games than he has during this season.
2019 is anyone's guess but if Grix has started to fade then it'll be Jowitt as first choice with Hooley as back up.

McGuire confirmed as leaving Leeds at the end of the season and we are one of the clubs linked with him

McGuire should've hung his boots up alongside Sinfield.

No not Maguire too old we need a younger half back

I could be interested in McGuire.
He'd have to prove his fitness and go to some anger/ref whimpering classes but he's still worth a go.

But I'd rather have had Lilley. I thought Leeds were going to let him go but have apparently seen the light.

Need someone younger.

Has been a good player but dont see logic in this one.

Could have him for one year but then could find ourselves looking at replacing him and Finn at end of next season

We are only linked with him in an article in the YEP, there may be nothing to it.

The one thing he would bring is a winning and big game mentality and maybe steady the ship when we are in tight games (where at present we have not been able to see a number of them out)

Can't stand the guy personally...I don't doubt his ability, it's just his obnoxious, whining attitude that I can't stand...wouldn't want him anywhere near this team

Ditto. His attitude on the pitch is dire

Your opinion of him is somewhat higher than mine, although, he does have a decent kicking game on him.
Always been a good support player but, he's no midfield general and IF Finn is to retire or be replaced, that is what we need.
Miller is still plenty good enough as his HB partner and I't take Miller over an ageing McGuire all day long
Where on earth are all the young British half backs ?
We could do with a 23 year old Danny Brough

My thoughts exactly 1873.

Didnt we have a home grown half back and he moved west of the pennines, and spent time on loan with our dear neighbours for a while.

Struggled to get regular game time in the halves, and has found himself in the three quarters

Have we got any 6's or 7's ready to come up from the U19s?

Is it his attitude or, the shirt he's wearing ?

Cas fans love Hardaker now he's wearing a Cas shirt

For the love of God - No.

It would have to come down to what sort of contract Macguire would be offered as already said he is not the player he was a few years ago. He should be considered as a squad player for Trinity at the most if he were to be signed...just hope it doesn't come back and bite Trinity if he was signed then continually injured for the season so getting a free season paid but not playing.

I would prefer a young talented possible half back who originates from the Wakefield area on a long term contract. Trinity need to build on the momentum and look towards the future. Finn could have another 2 years in him if managed correctly in my opinion. Look at Andy Lynch and he's a prop.

With our current lofty position, perhaps we should be thinking, if he's not good enough for Leeds, he's not good enough for Trinity ?

Hull KR are favourites apparently which makes sense with the Peacock connection

Thank god for that !

Absolutely no to maguire
We already have one of the best stand offs in SL imo, why on earth would we want him

We have two options at SH with our budget
Try some one younger like williams with a point to prove (williams hasn't quite worked out imo) or some one with a fair bit of experience but with probably only a few years in the tank

The dream would be to have the scrum half version of miller
Point to prove and smashes it
