Things are starting to come together quite nicely. I reckon we are 3 quality signings away from having a team capable of doing something next year. 


Clearly we need a top centre. I actually think Briscoe is doing a sterling job of filling in but it's not really his position and he us coming to the back end of his career. It will do for this year, but we need to find someone with a bit of pace and x factor. 


We also need at least one prop. Ese'ese is quality, I like Ashworth, and Aydin is that full hearted work horse that every team needs. After that there are question marks. We don't know what might happen with Sao's recovery, but at the moment it seems to me more likely that he will leave. It's a big injury at this stage of his career. Fash just isn't ever going to be good enough imo. Knight won't be here, or at least it's very unlikely. Same goes for Watts. Eseh could be the answer, but he's not played a game yet. We need to add someone of at least a similar ability to Ashworth imo.


And I'd be looking for a quality 6 too, a running threat. Cust is doing fine, but I see him more as a utility man who can cover at hooker and in the halves. Will Pryce would fit the bill. No idea if there's anything in the rumour.

Yes hope fully Jed can get a run of games in make or break for him, Big John very close, Pryce close to, we won't bring anyone in now. 

Putting together a big pack is all well and done, but there is still a lack of quality to compliment it in the backs. Just hoping we can sign a good three-quarter and maybe another half back.
I don't mind Cust, but I think he's more suited as an interchange nine, but then I'd worry about Balmforth, who I rate highly. I'm sure the powers that be are doing all they can to move us forward recruitment wise.

First job in rugby get a good pack .. Without that you win nowt ....Am sure the powers to be will know we need some backs to ...But it is a rebuild ..... We are definitely going in the right direction..... All most of us asked this year was a team that gives it's all and didn't collapse...We have that... Yes we are struggling now but that was to be expected given the injuries to key players .....

Absolutely we're a re-build, I'm looking beyond next season before we hopefully start to reap any rewards. There's a new found fight in the side which is all we could have hoped for. In Cartwright and Co we trust..
