He isn't coming UR.

Cheers for that LTS, well I'll still keep my eye on him next weekend, but, with a different outlook...he's just lost his gallant losers tag

So what happened to the cover at loose and hooker that Price stated we were looking for a couple of weeks ago? I hope we have someone secured already and not yet announced. We haven’t really replaced Dwyer and yet to see whether Smith can step up. Masila is great but is that definitely the replacement for Westerman? Price seemed to think otherwise. I know he said only one spot left in the squad and that will be an outside back, so hopefully we have already sorted the hooker/loose cover.

Mr Price not 100% happy with the training pitches at Padgate. They're not up to standard. They're looking at using the grass space in the centre of the track at Vicky Park.

Perhaps he's since been able to watch Morgan Smith in training and formed a different opinion?

I like him already.

Well I've seen a lot of new technical markings on the pitch at Padgate and just off to the side of the pitch as well. Also the coaching team are arriving at the crack of dawn. They seem to mean business. Bar a couple of patches the pitch at Padgate seems pretty decent.

It was Fitzpatrick who said they were looking for loose forward/hooker in the guardian before Price arrived.

Ah, fair enough... Let's see what he can do with what we've got.

From the little bits I’ve seen of Baptiste it’s no great loss but just my opinion.

We've signed a UK BASED winger.

Please tell

Shouldn't be too hard to create a shortlist if we can infer that he isn't UK born?

If you know who it is, but can't say, can you say whether you're happy / think they're a good signing?
