Brandon is 26.

Kyle Wood is 33 so if anyone I'd assume it's to replace Kyle?

Carrying 3 quality hookers seems a lot to me but who knows!

That York game was a one off, where once again Fax were the victims. I don't think we'll see that scenario ever again, i do get your gist though.

So ‘fax have signed Nick Rawsthorne, we have respect SG decision on who joins the squad, Simon obviously thinks he can do a job in Blue and White. Good luck to you Nick, and as SG says it’s up to you.

I think we are helping Nick out as he wants another year of playing semi pro rugby. I don’t there is any great risk to club and it won’t affect other signings we make. Nick may come back stronger after having a year off, I hope so but he will be second or 3 re choice winger But its an extra person covering that position should it be needed

he is only 27 years old so good for a few more years if gets back to fitness. rumours/reports maizon signed too.

For me the team looks overall stronger than last year . I think they will be there or thereabouts near the top . Let's hope for a good strong start this year .
