8 out of 10 for me overall, based against on paper our squad against others in the comp and resources etc.

Progression from last year, where I thought we were powder puff for huge parts. We've had more steel about us this year. Some promising youngsters have had some great experience. Signings from last pre season have pretty much worked out as hoped.

Ellis - no coincidence that broughs upturn in form over the season coincided with Ellis settling in with a proper run in the team. Takes the line on, good step, relishes turning teams around and a righty. Good balance for the team.

Huby - solid. Great beard.

Hughes - great engine. Class in defence. Got better with the ball as the season went on. Shame he's off to wire

Roberts is an ongoing project, so we'll wait and see.

I saw the 8s almost as the 1st part of playoffs and had a nagging fear that we would implode as we did last year, but we kicked on. Until that fateful Friday night against Leeds. And gutting as it was, I can live with that defeat as we went toe to toe with a top team and got pipped at the post. That last minute took a lot from the team and led directly into last week, where we never got started. But overall, an improvement from last year.

I'm positive so far about the incoming guys for next year. If rapira is fit and motivated he is a great addition and hinchcliffe is gravy. Top, top signing. I also think Patrick returning after a year in Wigan environment will be a good +1.

No lack of effort this year, sometimes misguided application and inconsistent but I think we made small strides again.

Plus, off the field, the atmosphere has been much improved home and away. Wire away will stay with me for a long time.

hinchcliffe

rapira

connor to full back

but even then we may get to the semi and lose again. deep down felt we would lose at wigan as been let down so many times before

Expect a big announcement on Jermaine's future tomorrow.

Generally agree with the majority on here. I agree about Connor at fullback. Lots of creativity, not sure about Wardle back to centre, would rather have Murph with Jodie on the wing but that ship has sailed unfortunately.

Plus it's about time a decision was made on Connors position. Whether he eventually replaces Grix, Brough or Wardle he needs a specialist position to flourish and reach his potential, I'd let him choose where he prefers.

It worries me how much of a turnover we have had in players this year, much more so than in the recent past.

Another centre/winger whereever they come from would be great for competition. Wardle starting to look more and more a second row, as he seems to be more suited to crashing over than supplying a killer pass when theres someone in space.

thought it was sorted weeks ago and signed for five years like he said got to look after my young family
