So our recruitment is looking like this Ese’ese - step up on Evans
Pele - looks more devastating than Satae
Okunbor - anyone a step up on Joey and Lane right now. Plays every week.
Ashworth - grand final winning prop who is also a step up on Evans
Tindall - huge shoes to fill but has age on his side
Smith - better than Dwyer and Ben Mac in one player.
Diakhate - I imagine he will sign and looks a unit, bit of a project
Oil Pratt - don’t know loads about him but young cover
Quota 7/6/1/9 - who know who or what this will be. Likely sailor who has a spark
Domestic back row - assuming we’ll bring someone in, probably from the champ
When you break it down, our weaknesses this year has been the lack of size in the pack. You certainly won’t be able to say that next year. With DH going around again I’d be content with the side if we can sign a handy 7 and a backrower to give lane a spell in the reserves.
Not exactly as doom and gloom as everyone is making out

Most certainly not.
There are some definite upgrades in there. As you say, the pack will be a different proposition next season.
Ese Ese, Pele, Ashworth and Okunbor plus i think Diakhate could be a real find for us. Hopefully another back rower to come in plus add Staveley who hasn't looked out of place (and has some real size too)
There's definite cause to be optimistic.
