The season ended over two months ago. We are now well into pre-season. The player and coach in and outs should have been sorted well in advance of pre-season to ensure pre-season training is as effective as possible given the shambolic past few years.

We are nearly in December without an assistant coach, possibly without a captain are still at least 2-3 signings short.

I agree I'm not comfortable at all .

Now with Leeming confirmed, looks like Prior will replace Merrin as out marquee i can only see possibly one more signing maybe another prop

But if we went with this 17 for start of year i feel more confident in winning matches/ competing with the top end of super league

Walker
T.Briscoe (if he's fit)
Hurrell
Newman
Handley
Lui
Gale
Seamanufagai
Leeming
Prior
Mellor
Martin
Ward

Subs

Cuthbertson/Oldezki

Any idea on when Crosby going to make a return? Not seen him in any of the videos of players pre-season training.

I completely forgot he played for us.

For clarity, Matt Prior coming in would be to replace Nate Peteru and Brad Singleton. No one is going to be able to sell him to the fans as a replacement for Trent Merrin (should he leave) just because of timing.

GH / Kev take note, if Merrin does go, he needs replacing with top quality not someone we were going to sign anyway...

I agree and surely the Headingley spin machine would not be foolishly to think any different.
