That sounds about right. Effectively an upgrade on Donaldson/replacement for Tetevano. We do look a bit short of starting props with real size though - of those we have three (Goudemand, Sangare and Lisone) are bench forwards, for different reasons. We'd look very short if Holroyd or Oledzki got injured.

Just on the back row, if he develops Ruan could be the sort of physical player we need there.

Yep you said what I was trying to but better!

I think we bring in another -
Oledzki, Holroyd, Lisone, Sangare, Hudson for full props isn’t good enough.
Goudemand & Donaldson can cover all the PR / SR / LF, but effectively we need a big bumper prop.

Yep another 110kg+ thing.

Return to pre season tomorrow and this lad still not been announced

So it's Gourmand by name, not Gourmand by nature

Maybe just not happening?

I don't know why the club hasn't announced this yet, he's been in the club doing rehab on his achilles so seems strange not to announce it maybe just been caught up with all big name Signings they've forgotten about the poor lad.

Maybe seeing how he recovers before finalising it?

Maybe the rehab hasn’t gone very well and the signing was only going to be confirmed if/once our medical team decide it’s going to be a good recovery?

Leeds doing due diligence?

Things HAVE changed.

Officially confirmed John Holmes was his Grandad so he's coming from great Pedigree.
