Seen something about Swift going to union next year. Nearer home.

Not too bothered about Dwyer, he does one good run a game, so fans think he is amazing, when the rest of the time he is on the field, he causes more issues with his poor passing and decision making. Won't be cheap either. A bit similar to Satae, does a couple of good runs, but then let's everyone do the work, as shown too many times this season. I watched Walmaley on Saturday, doing 2 drives a set, bet he did well over 20 hit up while I bet Satae averages about 9 a game.

Will be a shame to lose swift, solid reliable player that always seems to give it his all

25 hit ups for 209 metres. He's ridiculous.

Yeah, whilst I'm not expecting Satae to do those number, he should be a minimum 15 hit ups a game, only once has he done 15 this season against Hudds, so he can do it, not sure it's coaching either, as it seemed to be the same under Hodgson. A player of his power and running style should be doing a lot more. Here are his stats for the season, these are stats from a top prop. https://www.superleague.co.uk/player/964/tevita-satae

Big loss IMO, good player, makes lots of meters (One of the most in the league), is pretty quick and a good finisher. Hard to replace like for like.

IMO the biggest loss of the players leaving or rumored to be going,

You found me out and I do come from Grimsby.
Swift leaving is a loss, Dwyer not so much so. Hope Smith will finally get Balmforth up and running. Strange the way the coach is reluctant to use the youth set up, I can only imagine it’s cap related.

Will we have a team next year? Does Andy last know how to recruit outside of the HU postcode?

Again not particularly bothered about him, would have been a decent squad player, wouldn't get in our side at centre and not sure about him as first choice winger, rather have a younger quicker player.

I'd rather have Tindall than Wood, younger, quicker and cheaper and for the first time in ages I think we have a top class young winger coming through, who should debut next season if not this season. Sign Tindall and we have Litten, Barron, Martin and McIntosh as wingers

The one thing that concerns me is the player pool, look pretty small and seems to be getting smaller. My fear is going with a squad that is too similar to this seasons.

Spend money on the forwards has to be the key.
