Someone on here was adamant that we had signed Roche from Fev. If true then that's another prop.
You also forgot about Lachlan Burr, who I'm assuming will get the 13 shirt.

Yes, I forgot Burr - I was looking at the list in the 'sticky' on this forum and it seems to be slightly out of the date.

I guess if Roche is signing that's another prop, and with Burr that gives us something approaching an adequate set of forwards. I still think we are possibly one forward light, but I do understand the financial constrictions. Maybe, if they shift one of players Rohan doesn't want, there will be scope to bolster the squad at a later date.

Do think we're possibly a prop light BUT props always become available throughout the year so if we do have an injury crisis half way through the year, getting a prop on a months loan is pretty easy.

Re: 2017 Squad : Mon Nov 07, 2016 6:52 pm  

I agree that the pack still looks light, especially when the inevitable injuries hit. Where would we like to see our final signing line up? I'm thinking an experienced Prop would be my priority if we only have space for one more.

Assume we intend to leave some space for mid season recruits as well, as the side assembled so far is a bit off any sensible challenge for SL. Though we do appear to have all they key positions covered with quality at 1,6,7 & 9.

We don't have 9 covered. At all. If O' Brien gets a serious injury we are in big trouble.

Joe Keyes has been playing a bit of 9 in the internationals I believe.
