I'd feel pretty uneasy with us using a quota spot on Watson now we've signed Ese'ese and Pele.
I'd still like him in to play 9, but it could leave us short in the back row and more importantly at 7....
We definitely need a quota 7. There's nobody else good enough available who is federation qualified.
As Dave said SR is our weakest position so we need a quota player in that position. We probably need another SR (non quota) as Ashworth plays prop these days rather than SR.
Hooker? Houghton gets another season which he thoroughly deserves but he'll be 35. My worry is that Balmforth will be the interchange hooker unless we sign another one. He has got potential but is a novice. If TS planned to bring him in to the 17 next year he would have already had some game time. Definitely instead of Dwyer.
Houghton another federation 9 and Balmforth is next in line.
Unless of course we keep Shaul and finally after all these years play him in his natural position...
