I think it's a real shame Dagger left as a player like that would make us look stronger. A full back/stand off required. Another prop and someone who can play in second row/loose. I would like to see a lose forward who is a bit of a ball handler but these are hard to find.

Tristan Sailor has been floated about over here, he’d fit that mould.

when I see ex-players' names getting mentioned and it's not for what they did on the field, it's because they've got a 25-year-old son playing the game, crap it makes me feel old. Wendall's a little older than me, a bit of a downer this getting-old nonsense.

Who have we got who can play prop? Bowden, Atoni, Uele, who else? Isaac Shaw? Edit: Forgot about Luke Bain who I assume we have signed to play there. Suppose we could get away with one prop.

This is how I see it.

Prop….

Atoni
Bowden
Uele
Bain
Shaw

Loose…..

Pitts
Cozza (most likely to share).

Second Row……

Ashurst
Griffin
Boothroyd


We absolutely need 1 more prop.
We absolutely need a second rower. One injury there and we could be stuffed having to shuffle Pitts back wide and someone would need to change with Cozza…
I would say a last signing would be a utility back who can play full back/centre maybe.

One injury in the centres and we are relying on Pratt, Law. While Pratt looks great I wouldn’t want to see both on the pitch together. Full back is light.

All that said, I am happy for the club to wait for players to be available who will enhance our starting 13/17. We need real quality to come in these positions.
