Warrington Wolves • Livett & Patton

That was before we signed Danny walker though. I don't mind patton but if we need cap space to sign a big prop or 2 and it suits both parties I'd shake his hand and genyinely wish him all the best. I really hope he does have a career in rugby somewhere. He had a huge opportunity with us this year and for me he didn't really take it.
For half back cover we have Riley Dean and ratchford and now we have Ashton to cover fullback, ratchford in the halves is a more viable option. I appreciate Riley Dean is a very raw talent but he should improve playing reserve grade and I think he will need a few first team games to develop.
Exactly I would rather us take the plunge let Patton leave and then try to sign a couple of props. Our lack of go forward in possession was startling at times, we struggled against big forward packs like Saints & Salford (6 defeats). We did rely far to much on Hill, Cooper & Philbin then struggled to find a suitable 4th choice prop to provide us with more go forward...
Sita: 10 minutes bursts only 3/4 decent carries per game
Tasi: Poor signing & only tried for 2/3 games back end of the season
Davies/Clarke: Too small to provide use with useful go forward, solid defensively however more suited to 13.
L.Johnson: Didn’t see enough of him, did well at HKR
Moran: Didn’t see enough of him either.
Westwood: Entered the twilight of his career, injuries/bans didn’t help.
In terms of cover at half back we have Ratchford (Mamo to FB), Hughes played well in the CC final & Riley Dean to be dripped into first team.
