The plus side of the Wigan result is showing that London away is actually closer to the normal standard for too many of our squad. That will hopefully show in comings and goings before next season.
I still think Hall is a strange and rather pointless signing, most likely not based on anything to do with the playing side. Still, its done.
In a fantasy rugby world and based on actual performances this season, looking at senior players I'd keep just Miller, Handley and Croft in the backs and McDonnell, O'Connor and Bentley of the forwards. Add to that Oledzki can do better, hopefully Newman is carrying some kind of knock, and Ackers has shown decent form elsewhere, so I'd keep them. Frawley is passable when the rest of the team play well. I'm genuinely struggling to find reasons to justify keeping anyone else.
Sadly its not fantasy rugby, and we'll be stuck next season with some substandard players. Smith did show its possible to get rid of contracted players. But the focus on who we bring in has to be on quality, and its clear there are some players who have to be moved as soon as possible.
