There's no way Addy should be playing in the halves, no where near enough pace. I do think he brought a lot of enthusiasm and energy in defence when having a ball playing role at loose forward.



Kavanagh had a great season, solid and dependable, finds his front when driving it pretty much every time, excellent technique.

Addy also seemed pretty good at harassing opposition halfbacks to my untrained eye.



However, if we're looking for more size in the pack, then I think he Lawler and Donaldson might be fighting it out for one spot. Unless Lawler focuses on hooker.

On the money here, Goose.



Addy reads the game well and has a good engine. He is also excellent in the line and is a sharp passer. As MR said earlier his man marking skills were none too shabby either, especially in the playoffs.



Kavanagh won my award for continuous improvement. He's certainly good enough for SL every week.

Kavanagh and Addy went well especially in the play offs.

World cup might take a bit out of them for next year. May need a break.

Our recruitment is interesting. I'm hoping we have players identified and just need them to play in the world cup to get them through the visa process.

We were obviously after Murdoch-Masila but looks like Warrington have out spent us.

Wires have announced their signings as they have been completed. No mention of M-M though.

I simply don’t see that Sheens will rock up to the World Cup and expect to land 5 SL quality signings on spec who are conveniently out of contract and would decide with a few days notice to relocate so what you say makes complete sense. The club has all things well in hand according to the HDM today.



I’d expect the new signings to be here in January if not before so we can have a really good tilt at pre season with the usual overseas camp. This time more than any other we can’t afford to be “undercooked” and want to be taking scalps early.



Finally a question. Is Bobby Blair staying or going home?

He said he was seeing out his contract why do you suggest otherwise?

Nothing specific. It was rumoured he was persuaded to stay last year by Neil. The club are intending several signings shortly at the World Cup which you would have to assume are quota players because why go to Australia to sign players from home nation squads? Therefore we need several quota spots released. Blair has been a great competitor for us so if he stays great if we get a better player even better.

How many quota places do you left? Is ZDC staying? Rovers fans I know rating him pretty highly.



I think you need another 3 or 4 Super 8 standard players in addition to McGuire, Carney and Masoe to avoid the middle 8's. Walne seems a pointless signing (if he's coming) as he's no better then what you've already got.

You do not mention all our super 8 standard players. With another 4 we’d have more than fc.

and a Grand Final appearance together with a Challenge Cup victory to look forward to.

You never know. We could possibly even reach the championship semi final in successive seasons and then choke both times. Ok you’ve been more successful recently but don’t let it go to your head.



The past is the past let’s lookforward to the future.

Let's be honest Keith you would love the opportunity to be in SL play off Semi (No idea what championship semi is?), reckon you won't be far off with signings like Tommy Lee.

He's signed for Leigh hasn't he
