Does he count on the ex-Cas quota? You were looking a bit short without Lynch

Maybe. Or maybe some of the younger players aren't considered as going to make it. Either way I'd like to see us rebalance the pack a little. We haven't really replaced Lynch.

I speculated on the signings thread that it could make more sense if Ellis moves up to prop as a replacement for Lynch.

Biggs will sign
And 1 other which I imagine will be a prop.

Would be happy with Biggs signing, and then someone like Larne Patrick from the Giants. But that's just wishful thinking. Wish the rest of our players would run with such aggression and determination as he does. Barring the odd few, the rest of our players just plod the ball in.
Also I'd definitely start with Crooks and Arundel as centres next season, Yeaman had an awful season and hasn't been upto much for a couple of years now.

Agree with all this.

I agree

Stats show to me that neither player are that good in attack, just read the Wigan thread about him and confirmed what I though, good hard working defensive forward.

Under different circumstances he would be a good signing, but we already have 4 simalar backrow forwards.

I can't see Ellis moving to prop, 13 maybe.

We have Feka, Paea, Watts, Green, Bowden, Johnson, Tyson-Wilson, Wilson.

you seem very confident

Well AP did say the deal was already done.

An average front row, which is really poor considering what we've had over the years.
Compare this to Saints who'll have the best pack in the league next season no doubt.

LMS
Roby
Amor
Manu
Soliola
Wilkin

Masoe
Walmsley
Laffranchi
Jones/Hohaia

Why no doubt? They'll improve but they've only signed 2 players in the pack.

Because Masoe will go well over here imo and Amor showed how good he can be last season. There pack was already good, they've improved it. Even if it is just two players. The only pack who'll come close to them is Huddersfield.

I actually forgot about Huddersfield when I posted the first time, but I still think Saints will have the better pack.

My point was that you said Danny Tickle was [imuch[/i better in attack than Tuson, I said he wasn't, now you've just said neither of them are that good in attack. Which was what I'd thought, I never said Tuson was an attacking 2nd rower.

What's different in Tuson when compared to Westerman, Whiting and Pitts is the aggression that he puts into everything he does. Everything is 100% with a mean face, he won't take a step back. Aggression is something our pack lacks.
