There's very little dead wood in our squad now. If a couple of the forwards can kick on (Thomas, Wood, Whitehead) and we keep Vaughan and Fitzgibbon, we should be competing again and it will just come down to one or two games that we know we can win, but may not.

I think Wire will sign him, and release Russell to create a Quota space so that we can seal the deal.

Harrison is going nowhere, King although is a good solid player is a head acratcher. If he stays happy days, if he goes happy days.
So as it's looking Vaughan out and Byrne in, although i don't think Byrne is as good as Vaughan. 
NRL Musgrove seems to have finally gotten off the plane and arrived. But not sure if it's just a case of he got dropped and he's playing for a new contract, rather than he's finally found his groove, so we need at least another prop if he goes. Chris Satae would do nicely as a replacement.
Philbin and Max Wood off the bench is good with Yates rotating at prop/loose. But then after that who do we really have that's established. Plus if King goes we lose the cap advantage we'll have less cap space to work with.
Just not sure whats gonna happen for next year.

Linked to Tom Amone now.

Karetaker,See my post on 28/3/25

I can't see Amone going anywhere except Leigh, he loved it there, won a challenge cup, and all his mates are there. Would be great to have him but i just can't see it.
If Russell did go i'm happy in the case that Holroyd would take that spot permanently, but also would feel bad for Russell.
I get he's had a few weak games but the display he put in against Catalans (i think it was) shows he can perform at this level. He was superb that gane, tackled everything that move, hit hard in defense and took some good hard runs in. But he doesn't have the consistancy so far, if he stays i hope he can develop that consistancy.
