I quite like the prospect of us starting games with Watts as the extra prop at 13, bringing Murrell on during the match to mix things up a bit then reverting back to 3 props to end the game. Its a shame that Greens suspension stops it from happening at Catalans.
With regards next seasons team, i think that i will wait until recruitment is finished because i dont think we have seen the half of it yet.

I was interested to see that NH expects to leave several slots free for the new coach to fill. Several is a loose term, but given that we've already announced 4, plus Withers and Taulapapa very probably, that does sound to me like there'll be more departures to make way.

Given that Cockayne, Mason, Fox, Colbon, Briscoe, Vella, Cook, Fisher, Newton and probably Clinton will all be gone its probably fair to assume that we have only scratched the surface of our "announced" recruitment.
It wouldnt surprise me if part of the interviewing process with the prospective new coaches is asking which players they would be able to bring with them.

Is this a definite then, Newton going? Where's he off, Penrith?

Watts at thirteen is an idea I wasn't on board with initially, now, I think it's a great idea.

"What's at 13?", "I don't know, you won't tell me".

Our Chairman has already said on Humberside that Matt Cooke has signed for Harlequins and although unofficially the Harlequins chairman has said the same to his fans. Add that certain people say we've already signed Withers then that's the end of Fisher.

I'm hearing rumours that Fisher maybe still here next season!

It's a rumour I'd be very happy with.

No - but nor would Withers be. I'd be happy enough with either.
