Hi all I'm new to this but have followed the site for around a year. It's interesting to get everyone s view on the current squad and where it has all gone wrong sine 2015. The comments and rumors have kept me entertained through out listening to where you all get your info from.

As for Merrin I hope he stays as he has been great since he was made caption but I just can't see it. I'm not sure who they would replace him with but agree with all it needs to be a prop or a great hooker. I feel that a lot of the recruitment will know hinge on his decision as to where the club go and more than likely will affect the winter recruitment. Hope this makes sense for my first post.

I also know Rhys Evans is a 27yr old 2nd division Centre ditched from SL
with zero interest in him & no record whatsoever of being a capeble SL back up Wing or FB.

WE shouln't have lost Ben Markland. Outstanding in last year's Academy games.

So you would play a winger not 18 until March who is only 5ft 6 and 12 and a it bit stones against seasoned SL players?

We' ve a new V3 version of this thread subject now available at the very top of this site in the £sticky" section.

I'm going to leave this thread unlocked until the end of Monday night (6.1.20) then I'm locking it up and moving this over to the new V3 version.

Thank you to all who have contributed to this 729 page mega thread.
