Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "In my opinion the squad looks stronger so far than last season and if we can sign at least one good centre we won't be far off. Our pack looks better than last year and we know how good our 1,6,7,9 combos are its just out wide where we look a little light. Regards the half back situation I am assuming with Moore and Wood still on the books that Inman has been brought in to fill the Corey Aston role of someone who can cover in the halves and at hooker and at a push Wood can slot in to the halves so I don't see us making any more moves in that area. Our team does not look like it will be far off this season and given its looking like Toulouse won't be as strong as Leigh it could be a real scramble to get that promotion spot and we might be somewhere near.'"
I agree the pack is better , how much better remains to be seen, I also agree that our spine is good however I don’t see inman as a half replacement for Aston. Grix said in his signing video that Moore , wood and inman would be competing for the nine/fourteen spot , he also mentioned in the previous year that it was difficult running with just two halves in Robinson and Harris , I agree wood possibly inman can fill in if necessary but I’m expecting/ hopeful of another half , personally I think we need someone who can play fb or centre like maizen or aitkens another half , maybe a loanee like sinfield or Riley dean and another second row . Maybe wishful thinking but that’s what I think we need to be genuine title contenders.
P.S Grix also mentioned in his preseason video that running certain tactical plays without his halves jouffret/ Keyes was difficult so I don’t see either wood or inman in them roles in the long term.
