Agreed. If we go trophyless this season and we don't replace eastwood (should it fall through) or toopi - serious questions need to be asked about the recruitment for this season.

Bold statement but I don't think as the squad is at present quite good enough to win anything year.

Easier said than done now that the season as started.

4 games in.

We're 4 games in.

We've a shed load of injuries yet we're undefeated and still top of the league.

Yet, after these 4 games you post that?

We lost Gareth Ellis, the best British 2nd row

Does anyone know for a fact that Hetherington has not tried to sign a Centre? who's available? at what cost? and do we really want another aussie/kiwi blocking Watkins Gibson Smith from the first team.

Like G1 said, some people are never satisfied.

You're talking about the way the team is playing. I have some sympathy with your view but am not in the slightest bit concerned.

RPW said the squad wasn't good enough to win anything.

I know we're supposed to behave and not name call but what a fekkin moron.

OK, in terms of the squad we've lost the following.

Gareth Ellis. A defensive monster. His loss will not be too keenly felt because we have plenty of depth in that position and our defense has also been solid. He did virtually nothing for the side going forward so nothing to replace there.

Jordan Tansey. he was playing hooker from the bench when he was in the team. We have replaced him with Danny Buderus and promoted McShane. Can anyone without the benefit of a lobotomy really say we have not upgraded?

Scruton. A loss, for sure. But, again, in a position were we have four front line decent players thanks to the emergence of Burgess.

Toopi. Didn't play last season and when he did play was with mixed results. We've been in need of a right centre and haven't filled the gap properly since Chev left. But there aren't that many Matt Gidley or jamie Lyon's around. Watkins and Gibson (who is like a new signing) are coming on so, the lack of a recognised right centre having proved no barrier to a championship, we're being patient.

I agree. There is no doubt our squad is still the best equiped in the competiton. And whether the rugby played is pretty or not, I still think we will win the majority of our games.

There is an old adage in the game...

Your [iAttack[/i will get you to finals and your [iDefence[/i will win finals.

Despite our injury list we seem to have the defence sorted and with time and the return of injuries the attack will sort its self out.

Have faith.....

Excuse me I take exception to being called a fekkin moron. I have a mind to report you to the site admin. All i did was make concerns at the squad depth??? Am i not allowed to do that?

As do I
