I guess you can never have too much quality. There's always the risk of keeping everyone happy. I know young Burgess finished last season a little dis-enchanted as not at the fore-front of Bluey's favour and if Scruton had stayed I honestly don't think Burgess would be here long term. You've got to keep everyone happy. But, if we could get another prop in under the cap, keeping the squad happy and balanced then it would be nice. If we can't its' not the disaster some make out. As I said, we started last year in the same position which leads me to..........

No idea mate but I'd little idea about Burgess either other than knowing friends of the family and, obviously, knowing of what his brother could do. What i do know is if we don't give them an opportunity we will never know.

..and we've signed Buderus to add to the pack which means we've more quality at dummy half (fingers crossed in due course) which may off-set having lesser players in the back row (Like Worrall) if needed.

Perhaps but I'd rather throw a kid in personally. You never know what gem you may unearth. Manning has been 18th man a couple of times this year and I am keen to have a look at him at some point.
I mean what did emergency signing Ansemle really do for us last year that Allen, for example, couldn't have?
