Defo need a rough house in the mould of Phillip Joseph. Ideally 2 and 1 more back rower.

Can we update this to show squad numbers and then we can see where our weaknesses are in terms of positions

Plus Alex brown signing adding

Cheers again

Speaking of squad numbers have Dalton Grant and Alex Brown officially been allocated theirs?

Not that I've seen, though I guess one of them will get no.5.

Adding to potential squad numbers, Daniel King was apparently wearing 16, Dalton Grant wearing 5 and Rowan Milnes wearing 33 for yesterday's game.

I though Daniel King was down as a trialist?

Seems strange to allocate a squad number before he's even pulled on the shirt, unless he's been so outstanding in training they've made up their minds up already.

They've certainly not announced the signing and did have him as a trialist on the squad list for the game. Could be that he was just wearing a random unallocated number, could be that it's the number he'll get if his trial is successful. I certainly wouldn't count it as nailed on, but looks likely if he's signed.

What position did King play and how did he do?

Alex Brown is 32.

So 14, 20, 21, 22 & 23 are all free, but they gave him 32?

Even if there's a couple of signings lined up for a couple of those numbers, that doesn't feel like a vote of confidence to Alex.

There's still a couple of players to be announced, who I suspect will take those numbers.

He came on as sub and seemed to play in the backrow. He's a very tall lad. Looks like he could do with a bit more muscle but he went ok without standing out. Needs another few chances I think.

I've put them into number order for you, minus the Twitter and YouTube links cause I couldn't be pd finding them all, copy and pasting etc.

Seems we have 5/6 players missing from the squad. Let's hope Kear can bring them in.

Are the players already signed or have we still to sign em?

Are you sure? John Keats interview in today's T & A does not give that impression.
