Mason and Roberts same as northernsoul said, i will concede, They are both young lads and IMO they have improved simply because they have started to get some game time, for various reasons, Fair enough.



Mcgillvary I said maybe he was my one who could be better.

Ironcally Cudjo improved somewhat last season, In fact from the playoff's the season before, Probably why Gerry scored more tries, He is still a good player but no way is he the player he was 3/4 years ago hence he lost his International place.



Lawrence Has not improved at all, he has improved parts of his game at the expence of other parts. He has put weight on and lost pace, he is excellent in defence and very average in attack, He has become a Head down and run player, which takes little skill.



Leeming, much the same as the other youngsters, He should get his chance this year, but people on here are shouting for a new Hooker and they are not wanting a back up for Leeming, it's the other way round. If he had improved significantly we wouldn't be desperate to get another would we.



Taai, IMO has just got to what he should always have been, when he came here he was like a rolly polly, once he got that off his game improved true, but it could hardly do any other from where he was starting.



Someone mentioned Brough. Brough has not improved to me, He has managed to keep a good level under very poor circumstances ( same for all of them really ) He has been good at every club he has played at, right back to his York days, He is still the best player at the club IMO, but also he has a tendency to stand out for obvious reasons, but he has certainly not got better under the last coach, I think he will have been less affected by him than some simply because of his off the cuff style.



All that said ,It's all just my opinion, and it don't mean everybody else is wrong, I shall be very disappointed if some of them don't improve under RS, We did finish bottom so it's hard to see improvements anywhere to me. Like I said JMO.

Cant understand your last sentence, why is it hard to see improvements anywhere? I do hope Mr Stone has a different attitude...

Sorry jumper, that wasn't very clear. I was meaning it was hard for me to see improvements under the last coaches reign.



I am hoping to see much improvement under RS.

you asked the question who has improved and gave you my answer, you think its only jerry... id say the ones i have listed have improved at the giants, will just go round in circles if we start going on about each player.

mcgillvary confirms fitness a problem last season

The evidence is it was also bloody obvious they lacked condition, especially early on!

How convenient.

Almost as good as Leeds with their flooded training facilities malarkey.

After we were told by all and sundry they were strong and fitter than ever before...

Remember they ran out of gas in a lot of games 'cos they spent most of the game giving possession away through silly errors / ill-discipline and then had to defend those errors. That must have taken it's toll over the season no matter how fit they were.

I remember them running on in game one and my Mrs asking why they all looked tubby...

That reminds me of my favourite moment (now I can look back on it) from last season when Jamie Ellis bombed that chance from Jerry's inside pass at Leigh.



I'm convinced his belly got in the way of the ball before his hands could get to it.
