What about looking at Zac Fulton for bulls. Scored 9 in 9 and can play second row, 13 and centre by the looks but is mainly a second row. Think he only signed for a year at bulls.

Second row is a position we need to look at. That said I like the look of Boothroyd too even though he’s been unlucky with injuries.

Agree, if the club don’t think he’s worth it or the type of player they want to bring in then if this years signings is to go by then so be it.

I think Riley Dean could do more for us than Oliver Russell

The thing for me with half back is, in the past we have gone for players with potential and some have worked out really well......

But now, if we want to kick on, we need a finished article. Like a young Gale, not someone who might do well but is unproven.

I agree with this, if we are targeting top 6 next season and top 4 beyond then a quality proven half would help realise that.

The problem is there’s not many of them I guess so if there’s not much out there we may have to look for a half who’s improven to some degree till we find that.

Perhaps it’s an opportunity to have a look at some players on loan like maybe Hampshire to see what they could offer longer term in the halves.

I was thinking of a higher level than Hampshire.
Like Hastings or Maloney or French or even Lam when they came over.

Hampshire had plenty of chance to shine with us and failed to do so....that ship has sailed for me

Are those realistic though? I’d say absolutely not.

Seen talk too possibly you of top 6 next year and top 4 year after!!!

That is in my opinion too much to expect.

8-10th next year would be a good achievement and I think we have to expect a few years as fans hoping for solid mid table finishes before we can expect to consistently push towards the top 4.
