Start@1873Butcher:
I agree, but I really meant Walmsley for cover and competition. We’re looking upwards, and while Walmsley’s improving, I’d rather have Dom Young or Ronaldo Mulitalo. That sounds like a joke, but that’s probably where we’re looking now - akin with Tevaga.
For example, I also want us to re-sign Cozza and Croft too, but that will make us the 6th or 7th best team in Super League again.
I’m not sure it will make us 5/6th again.
Tevaga, Smoothy will elevate us in quality and and while ever players like Croft and Cozza are improving there’s no reason they can’t put pressure on starting players and continue improving. They could become even better players themselves.
I think this season shows you need quality squad options even fairly deep into the squad. Croft and Cozza at the very least offer that to a good standard.
I think the best way to go is keep Fri ing improvement but adding 2/3 real quality players into your 1-17 year on year.
We have 2 quality additions so far for 2026 and I’d like to see one more (preferably a prop).
Without Croft and Cozza stepping in various positions this year we’d have found we may not be in the position we are in.
