We know Esan Marsters is coming in which will mean Nene moves to the wing next year.
My wish list is to sign Bullock, we desperately need a decent Prop. He has proved he is capable of playing for SRD. I'd also sign one more if we have not got Liam Byrne coming.
A Hooker is needed, Mellor has really done well this year but is 33/34, for me he needs to pass more as evidenced last night.
Wingers - I am afraid for me Ryan and Cross are not Super League class on the wings. Deon can do a job in the centre but we need more class, Sio and Burgess leaving has hurt us and we have not recovered, Wing has to be a priority position.
All our quota spots are gone so the above needs to be Uk/Non-Quota.

Don’t think we will see anymore backs as McDonald will go to wing meaning we have 8 backs including Connell,my worry is and hope I’m wrong but because of the late stadium deal I’m not sure we have anyone new coming in at the moment I hope I’m proved wrong with that!

Might be controversial but i don’t think we should keep wright/stone both defensive players but we need some explosive go forward
Biscaro
Beinek
2 I’d look at

Although there is still murmurings regarding lafai leaving still carry on obviously it would make total sense if we have signed marsters because I still don’t believe we would run with McDonald on wing!

Let’s start by hoping we don’t have another fire sale

That's how you recognise SRD fans they're assuming they're on the bottom rung and praying there's a way up!

Fully agree with making props the priority, Bullock would seemingly be the ideal fit but would also like Dan Norman from Leigh as he doesn't get that much game time.
The murmurings of Tom Forber from Wigan are still about as is Sam Royle from Saints. We should be looking at the younger end of the market as there are very talented lads available if Rowley and co can develop them.

I've liked the look of Harvey Wilson in the few games we've seen him but again he's a more mobile forward and not the biggest.
We do need some more size in the pack. Will Ormondroyd stay? I'm not so sure based on the past few weeks and his lack of game time. Sidlow on his way as well and doubt we'll see Kingy again.
That's 3 big lads to replace. Can Pye step up? Bienek is a great shout if we can get him. Not seen much of Dan Norman but has he stagnated in the last couple of years if he's getting no game time at Leigh?
Still hoping Byrne might be on his way and the Hull rumours are just paper talk.

Think Marsters is replacing Lafai. Heard he was going back to Aus.
Which does leave us with a quota spot. I agree though on the wings. It’s hurt us this season. I

Agree I like Wilson and small mobile props are useful but you need 3/4 monsters with them I think pye looks good and should get games and personally I think rowley could get beinek to international level |

Of course people will look at the result and theorise according to what they feel the SRD weaknesses are but I've yet to find a simple solution to complex questions and problems.
I still think the size of the squad played a negative role rather than particular players or positions,
