Quote: Once were Loiners "From the Hull press conference Arthur is after a strong running outside back and a prop at the minimum. The back doesn't make much sense unless someone else is leaving. I can understand it as we have no punch in the backs, which makes it hard for the halfbacks to create on top of having nobody to bend the line up the middle. But unless we free up another quota spot I'd be worried if we only get one new forward, as it feels the front row needs major surgery and not just tinkering.'"
It's an interesting one. I think as well as goal kicking, we also lack speed in the backs. Ash is great over long distances, but he doesn't have the same electric burst of speed that Field or French do. Miller and Croft aren't nearly as quick as I thought they would be. I wonder if Arthur has seen that as a weakness in out backline. If we could get a goal kicking centre outside back who was electric, and a decent prop it could really change things for us. Two props would be even better!
