Aye, forgot about Paea and yeah, read something about Sammut being a Maltese International.
So looks like it will be Owen and Keinhorst possibly.
If we can get one more later down the line, then it won't be so bad.

Simon shouldnt count as european. Think it would be a breach of EU rules to have an exclusion rule on european workers. After all its a job at the end of the day.

Ali isn't on the quota as he played over here before the rule was made. However, you've missed out Matt Ryan who is on the quota

You may be right about Simon and how could I forget Matt Ryan? He's been a great signing covering centre as well as second row.

Either way as previously said if Owen and Kienhorst are signed then it's job done and some decent competition for places across the 17 including the backs. Looking forward to Boxing Day already...

Only 73 days to go!

I think we look like this now:

1 Hall 2016
2 Tom Johnston
3 Collis 2016
4 Lyne 2017
5 Riley 2016
6 Godinet 2015
7 Smith 2015
8 Anderson 2016
9 McShane 2015
10 Scruton 2016
11 Lauitiiti 2016
12 Kirmond 2016
13 Washbrook 2016

14 Paea 2015
15 Ryan 2015
16 Simon 2015
17 Ashurst 2016
18 Sammut 2015
19 Annakin 2015
20 Smith D 2015
21 Crowther 2016
22 Jowitt
23 Shulver?
24 Gilmour 2015
25 Trout
26 Molloy

Not sure but I think Riley only signed a twelve month contract.

We look so weak in the backs that letting go Fox part way through and Sykes and wasting money on keeping a certain LF when we have strength in that department will bite us on the backside big time.

Fox I think was about time. I'd have kept Sykes, but that's without knowing who Webster is planning on signing.
If he brought Kienhurst in or Cockayne as mentioned on another thread, I'm less bothered.
or even let the young kids have a go in preseason (along side the main team not all of them together) and see what they can do.

Thanks for remembering my birthday.

Has that been announced? I haven't seen that?

The Owen 2 year deal maybe one of the announcements the club have said they will make this week. Together with a season long loan of Ben Cockayne to play fullback???

Owen yet to be announced. Think Fullback is taken care of to be honest - Can see Hall playing there.

I heard Owen was in talks with Fev so not necessarily a done deal
