I just hope we can persuade Manu to stay, as replacing him and Mini would be really hard.

Talanoa is the hard one, so effective on his day, but has issues with defence and no pace.

I would like to see Griffin replace him, as I feel it is his best position to use his skills.

Sign an overseas Centre

Josh Jones or Taai (Or similar type) to replace Mini

Connor/Abdul to replace Kelly.

Agree with most of the above though for some reason whilst Connor linked up well with Kelly it doesn't seem to work too well when its Connor/Sneyd together for some reason.

I agree with that, the Connor/Kelly combination was great but Connor/Sneyd seems really stilted.

To be honest Dave i dont think we can replace Kelly with what he currently brings to the team.Our attack is lost without a piece of Kelly magic.
Sneyd/Connor just doesnt work and i have not seen enough of Abdull to say he could be our 6 next season.
We need to keep Manu as I think its Minis last season.
I agree on Talanaoa.he is becoming a liability in defence so its a difficult one for club.
I see what you mean about Griffin but for me he just doesnt cut it as a centre or wing.What you are suggesting is a replacement for Talanoa but he is the same with poor defence and is no faster than Talanoa.You can count on one hand the number of decent games he has had since been at the club and his try scoring record is dreadful.Very poor signing but i would still use him off the bench as an impact player until we get some injured players back.

agree with most of that Bonaire, but imo griffin has been one of our best backs this year , topping metres gained, always makes hard yards,

Agree re Griffin, think because he does not rip up trees in a way a lot of what he does goes unnoticed plus we still don't use him to his strength by getting the ball to him early enough.

Thats why i keep saying play him off the bench as an impact second row because the other aspects of his game are poor.
He will never be a quality centre.His reading of the game,defence,and assist passing to his wing all very poor.Has no footwork to beat a man but like you say makes hard yards at times with his power.
His try ratio for game time sums it up.
Must be a wingers nightmare having Griffin as a centre partner.
Living off the MPG at HKR for me.

matty russell? jesus, are we that desperate for a squad filler? He's hopeless. I would be less than impressed if we replaced one of the top 5 props in the comp with warrington's 5th choice winger

definately a backward step but there could be some truth here as Radford has said many times he likes Russell because he makes metres from the play the ball.
Just dont get this blinkered part of Radfords coaching that your a good player if you make metres from the play the ball.

yeah, so blinkered we've won back to back CC's and finished in the semi's. I have been Radford's biggest critic on the past, but he clearly knows what he's doing...
