Did we learn anything we didn't already know? McGrath tried hard and is a decent option on the wing but quality wise Robinson and Salty should be on the wings next season if Broughton is not fit. We already know that Salty is not the answer to our centre problem. We also know JWH is not the answer at half back but its really hard to see where he fits in to the team as he struggles to string 2 or 3 good performances together in what ever position he plays.
Forwards wise bringing Hirst in only showed how poor our pack has been this season and his performance made it look like 1 or 2 of our forwards have really taken the club for a ride this season. He looked a cut above most of them and the yards that Moore made off the back of his runs was really good. Even after that one game we should be making moves to get him signed up for next year.
Its funny but the player wish list for next season is still pretty similar to next season. I reckon we need a FB, Centre, Scrum Half, a hooker, 2 Props, and a second row. Out of those it looks like only the FB and hooker have been filled so far. Grix needs to make some very shrewd signings.
Good Analysis. Won 5 of 16 with Grix and 2 of the last 11. He really hasn't been able to get anything like a consistent response out of them. That worry's me as the players we have, possess copious amounts of talent but they haven't been able to blend anything consistent together. Nothing for me to suggest that things will change next year.
Players who I think will go / not concerned that we won't retain ; Sharp (think at 33 time isn't on his side as winger / fb), fleming, morris, larroyer, kaye, johnno, wbh,
