so this is the death knell for another signing?

We don't need another signing if the gazillion props that have just been promoted are any good.

Anthony Walker is a hard working prop that won the U20's player of year last season.

Jordan Hand was runner up for player of the year U20's

Danny Jones was U18's player of year

Probably.

Then again, I'm a big believer in not spending cap space for the sake of it. If the right person isn't available, we should hold back some cap room until they are and give some game time for the young uns.

All good.

That Jordan Hand looks a big lad.

Danny Yates was player of year for u18's not Danny Jones but Jones is a great prospect

I'll reserve judgement until I've seen Laffranchi play and Perry "actually" play.

Our squad strength and depth is reducing year on year and it's very sad to see.

The club needs to show some balls this season. Wellens can't play fullback all year and he can't have his contract renewed.

Forster's at the front of the pecking order, though. Least he was last year.

I remeber Hand was desribed as a robot in one of the match reports.

Joe Greenwood (back row) is one I'm eager to see.

What about the Irish prop?

He's in Spain, last I heard.

Pretty good starting thirteen. Looks like you'll be struggling on with just one centre like ourselves next year. You've made quite a few signings this year, yet the strength in depth isn't really there once again. Saying that being decimated by injury these past few years hasn't been that detrimental to you.

Yeah Forster is in the front of the pecking order - He was injured most of last season though.

Hand is very direct and aggressive

Greenwood is a second rower

Danny Jones can play anywhre in the pack

Walker is very strong in the tackle and runs well

Josh Jones is a very strong centre

Hopefully all these new lads will get a run out or two this year

Meli proved a good centre, but Wheels is the one we all (bar one poster, who shall remain nameless) want to see get a run there.
The general concences seems to be that we'd rather Wellens is phased out, either with the pacey Makinson coming into full back or Lomax taking the job with Lance and Gaskell playing halves.

Pack of
Perry, Robes, TP
Wilkin, Soliola
Laffranchi

With LMS and Clough as bench props, with Flanders and Flash battling for the last spot (remember that Royce takes 1 back on the bench)

Are you joking here?

There are only 7 overseas players in the squad which is fine by me and 18 of the squad have come through the academy with the rest made up of English players who were signed into the club.

Don't see the problem with the squad tbh from your perspective....
