Certainly seems to be a statement of intent from the board.
Carl has so far pulled out all the stops
Lets hope that we get a few more players of this quality on the books.
2020 Year of The Dons!!

Still in 2019 never mind 2020.

A bullocking prop, like Whitehaven favour would be nice.
They had one called Bullock before he went to Wigan ...hence bullocking.
But Oldham got promoted on the back of Danny Bridge and Danny Langtree, mobile ..second rowers.
I think RH is happy with mobile forwards and might not be that bothered about another big prop.
I would like another personally.

I think you're right. RH seems to prefer mobile forwards. It's great to be able to exploit space quickly but you also need size and weight to drive away from your own line, and suck in the other team's defence with the threat posed by a big guy when near the opponent's line.

The latter two points emphasise where I believe we've been weak in recent seasons.

I agree. I'm hoping Dixon could fill that role though

you may still get your wish - on the interview on the article about Ollet's versatility RH mentions that now that we do not have a dual reg agreement we need a bigger squad than last season.

Looking at the squad for last year including loans but nor DR we had 26 players

To match this we need 3 more, so maybe another 3 signings then see which of the trialists is worth a punt in the friendlies
