The Patton and Holmes combo looks far more dangerous when together, just been dead unlucky with injuries

I thought Holmes & Gill were both contracted for next year. But happy to be corrected.

Holmes is contracted for next year but not Gill.

I think I read Appo has an option- has said previously he will resign in a heartbeat

I'd want to keep Gill and Appo. I think Lilley would make an excellent starting hooker.

People I wouldn’t mind leaving providing we get better:

Flanagan Sr (retirement/coaching)
Thompson (retirement)
Wallace (Hull KR)
Foster
Johnson
Clarke
Matongo (although I’d give him until the end of the season to prove himself)
Flanagan Jr (Hudds)
Walker (Hull KR)
Ho

See how Baitieri goes when he finally plays.

If we could keep Rodgers after his loan that would be a good pick up. If Flanagan Jr gets loaned back for a year then he provides good cover at FB and HB.

I think for next year looking at it. We need:

Fullback (even if we go Jowitt need cover)
Centre (need cover or a strike centre)
Winger (only have two)
LF (a proper loose forward, love a ball player)

I’d be tempted to try sign Tindall on a permanent or if M. Scurr is up to scratch he can be cover.

Fullback is a difficult one. Not many good ones out there at the moment. I’d prefer Holmes in the halves but I suppose he could go there if Lawford is getting the 7 shirt next year.

I think Patton gets a bit of stick because he is rumoured to be on top money. I think he has been better in recent weeks but I would imagine the club are probably seeing what else is available as well. He's a reliable kicker and has a decent pass in him when he has runners. Just seems to drift in and out of matches sometimes and obviously isn't the quickest on his feet.

I see Lawford scored 2 trys and won MOM yesterday for Hunslet.

We need to give Lawford a chance.

I hope it’s not too late to keep him. This season must be a disappointment for him so far.
