Quote ="Alffi_7"So, squad becoming a little clearer now:
Full Back: Ratch, Johnson, Mamo (Utility Back)
Wing: Lineham, Charnley
Centre: Goodwin, King, Atkins
Halfs: Austin, Brown, Patton, Smith?
Prop: Hill, Cooper, Philbin, Tasi, Sita, Westwood, Doro
Hooker: Clark, Walker
2nd Row: Currie, Hughes, BMM, Livett, Davis, Johnson, Robson
Loose: Clark
Out: Brown, Austin, Crosby, Thompson, King, Pomeroy, Prell
In: Mamo, Austin, Tasi, Clark, Davis, Walker, Doro (Youth), Robson (Youth)
Looking purely at numbers I think we still lack maybe a young winger that could come in and support the squad when needed, but its a fairly well balanced squad I think now (especially as Currie or Livett can jump in to the centres with Goodwin to wing). Last year I had concerns about going in to the season without a recognised second option at hooker, but we have that covered now.
Quality wise I'm not sure Brown is the answer at 7, and not a great partner for Austin, but we are where we are on that score - we should be moving heaven and earth to get a better 7 in for 2020. Prop is another area that I feel we are maybe one person down in terms of quality, we have enough numbers there I think, but would swap the cap space Sita & Tasi are taking up for a David Fifita every day of the week.
Hoping we have some space left on the cap for a mid season signing if an injury crisis hits, but compared to the 2018 squad, I'm fairly happy.'"
I think he refers to that in bold in the quote?
