We’re in a good place once we confirm SL survival. There is some more dead wood to shed over next 12 months, but the academy lads are developing too.

Having a reserve team next year will help us further in that regard and also give a softer route back for injured first team players.

I don’t think it’s too hard to look at our squad now, look at who’s coming through and then plug a couple of gaps with additional signings.

I have been critical of our pack for ages; even at times during the golden era Peacock often carried the pack on his own pretty much. The pack we are assembling now is one top line prop short of outstanding given another year or two.

Newman is rightly getting the attention now but Broadbent is the better centre I feel, as an all-round player who can create chances for his winger. Hopefully he will get a chance next year to cover injury to Hurrell or
Newman.

We could do with another outside back coming through. Hard to predict at the moment because the lads will develop very quickly over the next couple of years.

Anyway all positive for the future IMO if we can just finish the broom job and give the youngsters a pathway.
