Apparently one of the five signings is a surprise

And if the new signing isn’t a back row and becomes a prop would play kt in back row in front of Pitts etc

Batch only went backwards because of injury ,still high up in the pecking order

I agree but if he wants a starting slot he’s going to have to up his game, whereas crowther was much improved on previous year , but if Chester was content with second row don’t suppose he’d be looking down under - personally think if we have anything like a normal season - there’s going to be a lot of competition to get a game

Adding Tangata

Tom Johnstone
Bill Tupou
Reece Lyne
Ben Jones-Bishop
Jacob Miller
Danny Brough
David Fifita
Kyle Wood
Matty Ashurst
Craig Kopczak
Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundal
James Batchelor
Max Jowitt
George King
Jordan Crowther
Kelepi Tanginoa
Ryan Hampshire
Joe Westerman
Alex Walker
Chris Green
Ryan Atkins
Lee Kershaw
Titus Gwaze
Jack Croft
Yusuf Aydin
Connor Bailey
Oliver Greensmith
Josh Wood
Danny Kirmond
Jay Pitts
Adam Tangata

That's a really strong squad in my opinion and if Broughy has another season in him and Miller and Hampshire also go well then I'm fairly optimistic if we get that all-important dose of good luck, or just no bad luck will do.
