The worry is Fash and Chamberlain are under contract for 2026 and I can see Lane's slightly improved form winning him a new deal and the club doing a '2024 player of the year resigns' announcement.

With Sao and Ashworth also out of contract we need to unearth several players for the pack. Ashworth looks good when he plays but we need to assess the injury record (this week was just an illness however)

The last two seasons are opening home match have been against the worst two possible sides KR and Wigan, feel for the club, 1 win from opening two games a bonus for me, Wigan a class above we gave it a go but too many bodies missing, next four matches are more of a barometer but like Jake said we need players back.

Feel sorry for Davy Litten he'd have had a run of games in the centre but was mismanaged at the end of last season.

How so?

Rushed back

Yes was rushed back and did the same injury
