So now Hood is confirmed for 2024 we have the following confirmed:

Jowitt
Gale
Lino
Hood
Doyle
Kay
Ashurst
Pitts

Still around 17 players to be announced hopefully boosted with a few young players/loan players after the 25.

Powell is a big Massey fan. Regards him as Mr Reliable. It’s a long time ago (2017) but Massey was reported as being first name on the teamsheet at Cas and with the lower standard of rugby in the championship it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see Powell put his faith in him again.

I mean he’s 34 and I think we need a few players late 20s in the forwards.

6 of the 8 players signed up are 30-36 years old with the forwards closer to 35 than 30.

By season starts

Kay - 32
Gale - 35
Lino - 30
Ashurst - 34
Pitts - 34
Hood - 32

Jowitt - 26
Doyle - 24

Some experience is good but too many seasoned players might backfire as fev found out.

I'd rather pick on talent and resilience than age.

I missed Griffin - 33

As would I but i would see most of that list other than Jowitt or Doyle and Griffin as steady players.

I’ll hold my water as I’m looking forward to seeing who gets announced but we need some quality building around what we have got. Some size and punch in the forwards and some quality and speed on the edges.

I’m hopeful and excited to see the announcements.

Here you go.

Would like to see Atoni and Croft sign up and Bowden could be a solid experienced prop.

Powell is proven to be very reluctant to pick younger players and puts great store in experience. The problem is older players get injured more.
Fingers crossed the spine of the team stay fit.
