fitzy is a great at what he does which is to gives us graft but quality down the middle of the pitch, the way fitzy played last season was basically a prop but not making as many carries as a prop but obviously playing 80 mins making numerous amounts of tackles. so for me is just makes sense to use fitzy as a prop to replace cusack and then put westy at 13, anyway i think this is how we should line up for next season

like Mrs Barista said i woundt give rovelli a 2 year deal but woundt mind if he signs a 1 year deal as back up. so if he does come then whiting and rovelli would battle it out for the last bench spot but not sure how i would go because if you have whiting then you can rotate him with the backrowers and hes there for any of the three quaters, but with rovelli it gives him the chance to prove himself for maybe a future deal and he can rotate with houghton which may well benifit danny in the long term. i do feel we have a better squad this coming season then last, will be good if we can a back up half ideally rovelli on a 1 year deal and with another 4-5 young ones given contracts the squad looks alot better i feel.
