1. Nathan Brown. This will be the first season where he has made major changes to personnel and it is starting to become his team. Can he keep the players motivated and with the new recruits give us an attack to match the defence we saw last season. Will he continue to bring some of the younger players through. Has a hard job to do as wel or better than last season.

2. Brad Drew. will he be able to bring some of the younger players through particularly Lunt and help Robbo adapt to the role of hooker if indeed he is going to play there. I really hope that he can stay fit and do the minutes on the field. With his short kicking game, will we see the ability to break down the other teams defences which allows us to win the games that we should have done.

3. Brett Hodgson. How can he be any better than he was last season :?: .
captain fantastic who organises everything on the field and oozes class. If he plays half as well next year as he did this year we will have a good season.

4 Lee Gilmour. experience and a winning mentality. with him, hodgson and Drew we will always have leaders on the pitch. Can he show the team how to win big games rather than be glorious losers.

5. Darrell Griffin. Was dissappointing last season and has the ability to improve a 100% on last season. If he does he could establish himself as one of the top forwards in the game. I hope he watched Eorl in the 4 nations and is determined to be the top prop at the club. If he can improve we will have a hell of a pack which will give the backs an opportunity to shine.



Some iof thechoices may be unpopular i.e.No Crabtree but i expect him to carry on where he left off along with Raleigh. I also agonised over Kevin Brown if he develops and makes n0 6 his own then he would have been in my 5 as well as could Lunt. But if the above players can play to their potential we will have agood season.

Any views

Sorry dont agree with you its not just about any 5 individuals, its about the whole squad performing week in week out to maintain the standards we hit last year.

Agree with you Boyd, its down to the team as a whole, and the
youngsters will certainly, get their chance , as l feel we are high on quality
short on depth.
The only person l want to be a stand out performer, is Nathan Brown. 8)
If he performs, sit back and enjoy :D

I think we're pretty good in depth as well aside from prop.

If Raleigh can fill the void there though then we have every reason to be optimistic, although matching last season will be tough play offs aside.






If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

Well their is a truism iof there ever was one.

RL is a 17 man game. However indaviduals within that are important.

Nathan Brown in the examiner at the end of the season commented that the poor form in the last few games was down to ,' us losing key indavidauls', before mentioning specifically Brown and Kirmond.

Obviously the 17 players have to play as a unit but indaviduals within that 17 can often be more omportant than other indaviduals either by Leadership or skill.

We all remeber Hull and Salford at home last season and Saints away wher ewe had loads of posesion but could not score. That is why drew was brought back. Hopefully he will be the key to unlocking those defences in conjunction with others but it is his spark, vision short kicking game that will be the key.

Not to mention the CC final

We bombed more than enough chances to win that one...
