Well I'll believe it when I see it! Apparently Eels after Watmough too

Re: rumours on twitter : Tue Jul 15, 2014 7:01 am  

With the reported 10 out, surely we must have more than pryce and sneyd coming in?

I believe Mr Smith has returned to the UK.

Who do we think the 10 are?

I'd go with Crookes, Colbon, Arundle, Pitts, Heremaia, Miller, Kent, Watts. Maybe Whiting and Horne?

Add to that McDonnell and Carvell already gone.

I want to see at least 2 more big signings, prop and 2nd rower for me.

Me too but I think we'd need to ship players out to fit them in.

Currently we are looking like this for 2015:

Prop: Paea, Bowden, Feka, Watts, Green with BTW on the way.
Second-Row: Ellis, Tuson, Whiting, Thompson, Hadley and Turgut.

As you say, maybe Watts and Whiting are on their way out (and Thompson too) so there is some room there. If I had to guess I'd say we've signed a back-rower but we're going to stick with our props add and Scott Taylor for 2016.

I know he's been injured a lot but I'm still not 100% sure about Tuson. Oh and I'd be gutted if Thompson went, Seen plenty of things from him this year to say he is definatly worth keeping.

Tuson has been poor this season. I'm hoping that his revival next year will be like the signing of a new player.

Agree about Thompson. He's the fastest prop in the universe. He could win a few more collisions though. And tackle better.

The big thing coming out this year is quality over quantity, so if 10 out then i expect we may only bring in 3 or 4.
