We've got to get rid of the wasters regardless. To delay would further embed the half assed culture and threaten development of any decent young players coming through.

Kibula and Co can do one.

Need to see some suggestions for replacements if you want half the squad gone.

No idea who's coming off contract elsewhere. Props would be my main priority along with a fullback.

Hitchcox abviously, Shaul from Hull, he will probably be released at end of the season. LMS from Saints is just the type of aggresive prop we need and probably has a couple of years left in him at our level. Everything depends on our budget.

Given that the likes of Patton as noticeable put on weight as well as your existing players not getting in shape I would suggest something culturally is wrong at the club or your strength n conditioning coach isn’t doing is job . I know Batley have a strict alcohol policy and fax are 20% fitter than last year , the championship is getting harder every year , it’s not just recruitment it’s the job lot .

We know all about the crap culture of the club. I'm not sure it's down to the S&C coach as players are obviously eating whatever they want given their size. A lot of players don't care. There are exceptions. For instance Tom Doyle looks fit and gets through more work than a few others put together.

I think the OP said the thread was just about players. If we were to look at off field positions I'd say a clean sweep of the whole lot is needed. A new head coach from outside would've been a useful break with the past but I'd say the problems at the club go right to the top.

I think Shaul may be a spent force and LMS could still command a SL spot somewhere. He'd never sink as low as us. It all comes down to budget as has been said. Trouble is the rot has been allowed to set in and it may have gone too far.

Yeah I fear that the likes of Shaul and LMS are way, way beyond what we will be able to afford next season. Struggling to think of options myself.

The issue with that kind of player i.e SL player no longer able to get a full-time SL contract is that we would likely be competing with Halifax, York, Newcastle etc who seem to have no issue with outbidding us.

There are two ways to get out of the situation we are in. One is employ a strong coach who can get maximum and more out of our players or two buy quality players who can get us some results. Unfortunately we already have a new coach on an 18 month contract and we don't have enough funds to buy some wins. So?
