Is Diskin occ ?

I think Diskin would be an astute signing especially with what is likely to be avaliable.

No, he runs OOC at the end of 2011.

Great player, and would get injured enough not to hamper Houghton's progress!

Bedtime Hetherington talk again.

In 2 minds, him and Houghton would make a great hooking team.

But would it stop us signing a halfback.

Saying that do we need to sign a backup halfback if have Berrigan, Tansey and Nicklaus to play there?

There seems to be no top class halfbacks available, so the more I think about it the better the move sounds.

Would be very happy with this signing, one of the best hookers about, still young enough and English

The club gets some slack, but it is obvious that the club are making the best efforts to sign players and pay money for them.

Players have received upgrades so that will have taken a chunk. Tuffour, Hall and Yak were not earning much money so they are hardly big salaries. I reckon there is room for two players but not top ones.

What about raynor and king? And yeaman (probably), dowes (likely) and radford all signing on for reduced amounts

A move for Diskin would clearly indicate that Berrigan will play centre next season and would allow us to utilise Washbrook/Whiting at loose fwd.

That's how I would see it also. Not a bad move IMO.

Why?

Salary cap. (possible)

We still need another prop also.

Although I am hearing good things about Chris Green and the chance of him getting some games at prop next year.

Would also free up Fitz to move up to/cover prop.
