Looks right to me.

i still think given that Galea is retiring and Tickle is almost certain to have left we will need another back rower if we want to compete with the big boys

As long hes not just slung right in in place of Horney ill be happy.

Any new on his Visa yet? It's been nearly 4 hours!!

Ellis
Westerman
Whiting
Pitts
Kent
Hadley

Looks enough to me, especially if we have props starting at 13.

Jesus he'll never get one if he's on that $hit.

How long before the first unimaginative dobbin calls him Windy

Welcome to Hull Jacob. I am really looking forward to watching our half backs unlock defence's.

I prefer us with Pitts, whiting or Ellis at 13. If we go with this, which gentle as in recent matches I think we need another backrow.

We have 5 props for next, so I like one prop and a backrow forward.

Maybe a winger, but I'd be tempted to use Shaul as our back up winger, Arundel could also play there.

Not much recruiting to do of next season, which is a bonus.

I still think we need a big nasty impact prop to replace O'Meley.

on the cards from what i hear

Even with one of those at 13 though, we'd still have 4 frontline players when fully fit (I know that's seldom the case) plus Kent and Hadley backing up. When we have enough players fit Gentle seems to like a prop there to start with, too (Green or Johnson would be my pick), as well as us seeing Heremaia having a spell there recently.

For next year, we so far have 5 props and 6 backrowers, with it usually going to be 4 apiece in a 17, if not 5:3 in favour of props. Sheer numbers suggests to me that it's props we need more, especially given that the backrowers can generally play more minutes.

Will Manu do?
