Individual performances were up and down, but some players were consistently good even when the team was struggling.
Here’s the first part of our assessment, in alphabetical order, of how the squad rated in the context of the whole season.
13. Kruise Leeming (No 9)
18 starts, four sub, five tries, one drop goal. Outstanding before a foot injury in July, lost his starting place towards the end, but had a good, strong year 7. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
14. Rhyse Martin (No 12)
26 appearances, 11 tries, 88 goals. Consistently good, whether at second-row or centre and his radar-guided place kicking was crucial 8. Photo: Bruce Rollinson

Four starts, two sub. Restricted by injuries and joined Castleford midway through the year 5. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
16. Muizz Mustapha (No 27)
