Could Stu Howarth be a potential cheap back up for Wildie? Did very well for us in Kear's last year

Could be a good call about Howarth, not devastated but disappointed when he left. Nice pair of hands and a decent kicking game. Preferred him at 13 rather than 9 though. Mind you could have been a half decent player who shone in a poor side.

Can't Washbrook go play and interchange with Wildie at 9 and we put another forward such as Tautai or Trout at 13?

It's an important season and I accept we need proven experience at one of the main pivots in the team but the possible financial cost of Gower even at 36 is concerning.

Either way it's a squad game and one scrum half isn't enough so Goulding should get another 1 year contract IMHO.

Cas forum saying we are announcing McShane and Thomas Bosc this week. They normally know more about us than we do so I'd say it's nailed on!

Washbrook shouldn't be anywhere near a ball playing position. Personally I would start Anakin at 13 but thats nots going to happen.

Washbrook needs a big year. Very disappointed last season with his form considering he was a pleasant surprise the previous year

Gower at 50 60 k is piir value cas in my opinion have got a bargain a player I saw show nice touches made a few mistakes got the crowd on his back Gareth O'Brien a player 40yrs ago would have been put out of the game in z10 mins skilful yes but in them days 10 a penny

Now they would be two decent signings.

Saw someone mention Baille or someone with a similar name to that earlier too.
McShane and Bosc would be 2 great signings! Both good players respectively.

That name crossed my mind too! Isn't he still at Saints?

Gower could be a smoke screen while finishing touches put to other signings?

I would hold your breath on that.

I was talking to a player about him and he said he does so much work in the middle for the team he has to stay and start.

Come on El Rey release your knowledge!
