Quote Kosh="Kosh"Manu doesn't count for next year. Neither would Tony if we kept him (unlikely IMO). This is assuming that we've been on the ball with the regs and got the paperwork sorted, mind.
Appears to me that it's finally been realised that our squad needs improvement across the board. It wouldn't be possible to do that all in one season so I guess the pack has been prioritised as it's the foundation for building a successful team. No point in having world class backs if your pack is getting bitched every game like ours has been.
Our back division is good enough to do a job if the pack dominates, and the pack that we're putting together should be one of the better ones next season. At the moment I'm reasonably happy with our recruitment.'"
I agree the pack is the priority, and I am also fairly happy with our recruitment so far. I just think that ideally a bit more experienced option at fullback would have been nice. As you say though, you can only do so much at a time and hopefully Tansey will do well for us there.
With Cordoba and Lauaki bolstering us soon, I would hope that the signs of us trying to play rugby continue as well. Even if we keep losing games, so long as we're working on improving performances and getting away from 5 drives and a kick so that those coming in next year can do so to make a more competitive and entertaining team.
