I think that the York winger is AJ Towse. This appears to be more of a speculative link rather than a definite - but then again who knows.

No

I still think we should use the quota spot and cap space created by the retirement of Matt Moylan to bring in a prop particularly with the retirement of Dan Norman. Gaz O’Brien is reliable in the halves and Ben McNamara who put in some excellent performances last season before his injury will be challenging for a starting spot. I’d much rather see either of them than Milford.

If you think Lokie & Gaz O’Brien in the halves will reap rewards, you're living in cloud cuckoo land pal. That right edge was starved at the end of last season. I agree that Milford isn't the answer, but we definitely need a quality smart half along side Lokie with hopefully a good kicking game as well.

I’m not convinced that O’Brien or McNamara are the ultimate answer at halves with Lokie and either, but both are strong back-up and can do a job if needed.
Another twist on the overseas prop required angle is the Dan Norman retirement. He was maybe not a shoe in for prop in the 17 based on previous performance, but now appear to have an even bigger need for a big starting 8-10.
What we will do next, I don’t know, but I lean towards an overseas halfback, ahead of an overseas big’un, but the Norman wrinkle has made it a closer call.

A half back is more of a priority for me. Norman was a squad player more than a definite in the starting seventeen, so I think he could be replaced by a uk based player.
