I get the feeling that we have signed some, but are waiting for the passes to go on sale next week to announce them.

There as got to be another big signing or two, just to balance those leaving

Presuming your team currently looks something like this:

1. McDonnell

2. Lineham

3. Crooks

4. Yeaman

5. Crookes

6. Holdsworth

7. Miller

8. Paea

9. Houghton

10. Green(?)

11. Ellis

12.

13. Pitts(?)



14. Heremaia

15. Whiting

16. Johnson(?)

17. Watts



Your pack looks very weak. Front row in particular. Thompson, I wouldn't think, would go straight in as a first choice back rower and even with Jonny Walke you're at least another 1/2 season campaigners away from a full compliment of props.

EDIT: Forgot about Liam Watts

Imo i like the look off arundel and crookes as our centres next year with yeamo as back up, 2 good young english centres

You forgot Westerman & Lynch too.

I really hope Lynch wont be here next season.

As it stands -



McDonnell

Lineham

Crooks

Yeaman

Crookes

Holdsworth

Miller

Paea

Houghton

Lynch

Ellis

Westerman

Pitts



Heremaia

Watts

Green

Whiting

I'd snap your hand off for the Walker/Lynch swap deal.

Can see Tyson-Wilson over taking Bowden & Johnson next year too.



We need a back rower and at least 1 more prop.

I don't see Bowden making it in the long run and I'd let Johnson go, he's just to small I'm afraid.

The sooner we can get Shannon off the payroll the better. That money could be used so much better, like keeping hold of Briscoe.



I like the look of the team in general and we look to be building a young, hungry and predominantly british team that will hopefully all mature at roughly the same time.
