| Quote The Clan="The Clan"I think the extra quality in the front row will allow us to utilise more options off the bench.
Instead of having to have three big men on the bench in an attempt to gain the ascendancy over the opposition's forwards we now seem to be trying to achieve the same thing through quality.
That allows us to fill the vacant spot on the bench with a player chosen for tactical reasons.
For example, having Brad Drew and Tevita Leo Latu on the substitutes bench often left us short of firepower up front but gave us more football options.
The alternative was to have three big forwards on the bench but that left left us trying to shoehorn Brad Drew, Danny Brough, Sam Obst/Tevita Leo Latu and sometimes Scott Grix into the 17.
The quality of the first choice prop forwards available to as next year will mean that John Kear can select a player for the bench who is hand-picked to perform a role against that particular opposition.
This type of quality in the squad means the coaching staff don't have to trade off one thing from another.'"
So you think we will go for a bench of:
14 Hooker
15 Prop
16 Prop
17 A.N Other depending on game/conditions? |

possibly so,
what I'm really saying is that John Kear has the option to make two tactical selections on the bench without having to worry about watering down the forward firepower.
I'm sure there will still be games where we need to select three big forwards +1 on the bench but that will be through choice depending upon the opposition rather than a necessity. |

| I hate to ruin anyones day, but I think Ted has got his numbers wrong! 
One new signing was announced last night and there will be one more in November. Other than that, the other signings will be of existing players.
Tronc / Newton / Morrison / Millard / Jefferies / A N Other - That's it.
Sorry!  |

Oh quite easily!
Diane was worried that he was going to give too much away - so she gave him notes to use! |
