Recruitment progressing nicely, but I don't believe we need to go overboard as long as we look good enoug h to compete for the Top 6! Hold some money back for mid to late season recruitment

Yep agree with this and it's pretty much what Martin Vickers stated would be the aim. Try and build a team that can finish top 6 and then have a crack at getting to the Grand Final from there if we make the play-offs.

Bit of a strange one if he genuinely wasn't offered a contract (rather than just being asked to take a pay cut). He'll rank as one of our best signings in the last 10 years, and as he'll be 33 in

Wow this is one that has split the fan base. On paper it doesn’t look like a signing that is going to set the world alight and he’s older than the kind of signing that I thought we would be trying to

I wouldn’t call the likes of Aekins, Mininkin, Gale, Lacans, Reynolds, Springer, Jones, Addy etc scraps. These are all quality players.  Plus there’s over 4 months until the first match. People need t

Here we are a week away from pre-season with a 12 man squad I wonder if we'll soon see a couple more  to get us up to a seven-a- side :kolobok_grin:

                                                 

PRE -season ,we've signed players a lot later then this.

If we use a bit of artistic licence and switch Connor Jones to his occasional fill-in centre position, we can list a 13. Pretty meaningless at this stage of course, so for amusement only...

As far as 13s go, that's not a bad one!

I reckon that starting 13 could definitely compete with most teams in the Championship. I'm excited to see what others the club can add.

Hank is on his way back from Bali, so I'm hoping we can strike a good deal to retain him.

I'd also keep Yei as a bench player to add some grunt.

I’d like some youth/speed in the second row. Day and Bussey doesn’t really do it for me. Plus Hanks in the centre, and at least another prop, for interchange. It’s getting there though.

Longstaff?

Both Hankinson & Longstaff have been on holiday overseas for a week or two now so maybe that's had some impact on announcements and/or negotiations.

Well I think you are in for a season of underachievement next year , I’m tipping Wakey,Toulouse ,Bradford ,and York to finish ahead of you in the Championship , you had yer chance , the boat has sailed .

And we've no chance this season neither have the others,IMG have seen to that. Our boat has been sailing for over 100 years and will continue to do so wether top or bottom.

Just out of interest - and if you don't mind me asking - which of last years squad (who won the league by a record margin) did it for you ?

Our stated aim is to try and finish in the top 6. If you think we're going to underachieve, where do you think we will finish?
