Quote: CW8 "I agree, we will definitely be stronger with Cooper coming in. The Cox and Bailey signings probably showed that it was known we were lacking in forwards but those acquisitions unfortunately haven't solved the issue, although as I mentioned earlier I have been quite happy with what I have seen from Bailey.
Recruitment is always going to be difficult due to available cap space, lack of available players and competition for signings from other clubs here and abroad where they have a higher cap.'"
Of course there is the cap and competition to consider. We need to plan on having 5 quality props, get rid of the injury prone or those not up to standard, and make good offers, in time to our targets. Not having Hill, Sims and 5 others with question marks. The panic buying of Bailey and Cox was an example of lack of planning and risk management.
I agree with you Bailey has been decent - when he is available for selection.
