I'm not overly sure on the calls for a new winger, yes russell wants sending packing IMO but the opinion on lineham is a bit unusual on here.

Lots calling for him to be replaced however during most of 2017 he was one of the bright sparks, who seemingly gave a poop and had apparently learned from his struggle of 2016. That being said, his form dropped right off a cliff at the back end of teh year and in the 8's

Hmm, I thought he had not long back got a new deal,I really hope this is not true, he was one of the few you done ok last season.

Sadly it is true caretaker. Disappointing isn't it.

He also said the club was keen to explore the Championship for possible additions to the squad with the help of new assistant coach Andrew Henderson, the former London Broncos boss.

Love this dual recruitment strategy.

Henderson finds us a few hidden gems from the championship, while price uses his NRL experience and contacts to bring in hungry players from over there.

I think the thing i like the most, is the fact that they know we need a considerable number of new players and they have a plan.

I'd rather we had a clear succession policy from our youth teams sorted out than just buying new players again.

All we seem to do recently is develop players who are good enough for other teams but not suited for our own

When you consider our wingers of today they are totally different to the the more agile runners like Hicks, King,Monas & Penny who were also good jumpers. Our present two are more in the Ryan Hall mould of either a dive in from close range or slide in from 25 yards with 3 players hanging round their legs. Maybe that's why the Hiku/Pomeroy partnership was refreshing to watch.
On the other hand our Russell & Lineham are more than happy to get their hands dirty by doing the work of props & hookers.

Steve Michaels doesn't have a club. He'd be much better than Russell.

I assume the loose forward is BMM.

That was my initial reaction, although he doesn't quite say that - he says:

Doesn't that suggest they are looking for one player who can play loose & hooker? i.e. cover both positions? Or is it just poorly written?

It could fit quite well. Clark will play 60 mins+ so to have a person dedicated on the bench for that always strikes me as a bit of a waste. However if we have someone who can cover both positions they could either start off the bench rotate both BMM and Clark throughout the game. Or start at loose with BMM in the 2nd row, with the loose switching to cover Clark when he has a breather?

George Michaels (in his current state) would be better than Russell

For what it's worth....I've heard nothing about Patton to Widnes or Charnley to Wire other than fb rumour. To which I take no notice.
