Re: How Many Players Are We Off Becoming A Top Team?

Not many players from being a trophy winning team again.
Gelling has to go right centre with Joel and Manfredi. At times last year they were unplayable, that has to be recreated in the off season so all three "hit the ground running". Sarginson left centre (and not used as a prop) with Gildart reserve.
We need additional pace up the middle so Hampshire has to be given his chance at 6 with a prolonged number of games, Williams to 7 with Smith as reserve. Sam will add a great deal of pace probably both in the middle and wide out.
When MM goes off he MUST be replaced by a player who started and is up with the pace of the game. Powell off the bench has failed for two seasons now.
MM at 9, Ryan 6, George 7 with George to 9 when MM goes off to be replaced at half back by Smith or Powell.
Forwards to remain as at present. The props will start next season far better than this and that is certain for me.
Back row, depends how Lockers goes. With Faz, Bateman and Lockers on Intl duty then Joel, Isa and Connor may be used early season.
Equally improtant is that we develop a plan b and c. Our plays were worked out by opposition clubs 2014. They know what we will do when they see the 19. We need to vary it so we are not as predictable.
Turn up again next year with the same old same old then it will be another same old same old trophy less season.
Change and improve things then silverware will be back in the cabinet.
