Imo i like the look off arundel and crookes as our centres next year with yeamo as back up, 2 good young english centres

I really hope Lynch wont be here next season.

As it stands -

McDonnell
Lineham
Crooks
Yeaman
Crookes
Holdsworth
Miller
Paea
Houghton
Lynch
Ellis
Westerman
Pitts

Heremaia
Watts
Green
Whiting

I'd snap your hand off for the Walker/Lynch swap deal.

Can see Tyson-Wilson over taking Bowden & Johnson next year too.

We need a back rower and at least 1 more prop.

I don't see Bowden making it in the long run and I'd let Johnson go, he's just to small I'm afraid.

The sooner we can get Shannon off the payroll the better. That money could be used so much better, like keeping hold of Briscoe.

I like the look of the team in general and we look to be building a young, hungry and predominantly british team that will hopefully all mature at roughly the same time.

bit harsh on shannon, think we need to see more of bowden, agree about johnson though

Feel a bit sorry for Bowden, thought he did well when he played mid season, not sure how old he is but I know he's young and got time to develop. Brought Johnson in as the prop to replace Moa, and while I love his determination, he ain't a patch on what Sam was. Think we defo need a big meathead to drive up the middle as Lynch is passed his best, and we need a quality second rower to replace Tickle. As stated Yeamo is getting on, although his hit on Hansen in the final was the highlight of my day.
I must say I really am impressed with the youngsters we are bringing through, and those we have brought in, it makes it difficult to determine who you bring in, do you stick with some of these youngsters, like Green and Bowden or do you bring in experience which could leave them out of the 19 like it has Bowden most of this year.

i would like to see bowden given a chance or else we will never know if he can cut the mustard, hes cert big enough

Centre is an area I'm happy with - Yeaman, Crooks and Arundel are 3 decent SL centres, with two of them being very young.

And if we get rid of Shannon who is our other full back for when Shaul gets injured? And don't say Horne or Whiting.

We need another prop, other than Walker/Paea and a backrower with some impact. Shaul will act as cover for the wing with Crookes aswell as competing for the FB spot.
