It was AP who said we are looking at outside back and the halfs. And he said Horne struggles with injuries that's maybe why they want another back.

What about Whiting ?

The rule aplies after 10 years service does nt it, not at the end of the testimonial year?

Just a reminder to those saying we have no need for another outside back, Pearson made it clear that one would leave before one came in. I'm assuming that one is Crookes.
Same with the halves, we won't sign anyone unless we can move one on, again I'm only assuming, but from what AP was saying that one is more than likely Holdsworth.

Why is it? IMO he is not worth the vast sum we must be paying him.

I like you have no idea what we are playing him, however based on last season we looked a much better team when he played, I doubt we would have got to Wembley without him.

Do you think we will let crooks go? Can't see it freeing up much cap space.
Also I don't think I would be to hasty in getting rid only played a hand full of games yes he was shocking at times but there is something there to work with. The lads got pace and bulk mabe just need confidence.
I could see Shannon moving on only because he would free up a massive chunk of cap for us and he would most likely be on his way next season anyway.

I just don't really see the point in that. If Biggs is fancied as a first choice winger, we won't really get better than Crookes as a reserve.

The more worrying possibility would be a centre going out to bring in another winger/fullback. With Pearson talking about Thompson as a centre that gives us 4 + youngsters, and with him also talking about Yeaman fairly positively last night they would both seem fairly safe. I wouldn't like to lose either of the other 2, personally.

Bomber and Gentles recruitment was w@nk!

Correct, and people are forgetting he didn't even get on the park until Round 14 of SL.

If we are at full cap with our present squad then it was truly awful. Agar got some abuse, but I would have to say his recruitment was better than those two.

Could take a while to sort out.

Yup, and that was after he slated the last regimes recruitment 'mediocrity'.
Think AP has learnt a few hard lessons and now knows things aren't that easy.

He's gotta address 6 and 7 for us to move forward.
He emphatically stated that he was going too.
Waiting.
