Gutted for Ed, just come back from an injury as well, will we dip into the market if we got funds and the right player available Doubtful we have funds or would we buy, read Watson saying that Johnson is nearly back (To be honest I thought he was just out contention) so that indicates he'll get a go in the match day squad.
Shows that getting Inu was so important, if we hadn't have signed him we'd have been left playing a 2nd row in there instead.

Any getting the horrible sense of dread for next season? No Lui, no Hastings and no real funds to bring any one of proper quality in? Don't want to distract it from the decent start to this but can see from previous years our players being announced elsewhere.

I was worried as soon as I saw the out of contract list but trying to forget it and enjoy the season. We should be fine apart from halfbacks- we’ll have to go for youth. Woods from Wigan and Richardson from Saints would be nice but still probably wishful thinking.

wish a takeover could happen like MK did, but really take us forward. Quite concerned for this and next season player wise, contracts etc.

Any getting the horrible sense of dread for next season? No, I get it every match and then the following day and the week after that. I thought everyone did!

Let's worry about next season, next season, still plenty of points play for this season and we are still in CC

Apparently we're after Chris Atkin from Hull KR for next season. We we're one of the clubs that came in for him before he went to Hull KR from Swinton. Decent signing I'd say but needs a better half outside of him.

But 100% I'd take him but you need an experienced half alongside him, if Hull KR are indeed after Lui for next season I'd be saying you can have him this year give us Atkin (maybe another fringe player or cash) and then he gets the rest of the season playing alongside JH so help him hone his skills.

Absolutely not. Lui goes nowhere until the end of the season at the earliest. A few bad games does not make a bad player. We need to show at least a sliver of ambition.

Think the chances of JH doing another year are remote (without the issues with his UK buddies JT & JL making it less likely) so to bring in a young kid like Atkin and in all likelihood another young halve would be pure folly, in the scenario I mentioned at least we have the chance to maybe get something or someone for Lui and the chance for Atkin to work alongside a class act like JH for 6 months an learn more of his trade skills.

I see what you are saying but I’d very much prefer to watch Lui and Hastings for as long as possible - on our budget we might not see their likes again for a while.

Makes sense, both views have merit, guess it depends on our finances next season, vastly reduced and young untried/inexperienced halves are all we can hope for.
