I'd expect him to get his debut next season, but not enough to play regularly, playing reserves will help him.
Not sure what hooker would sign for us, just to sit in the stands most of the season, the only chance would be a young hooker, but that would be a bit pointless with Litten coming through.

I suppose Washbrook is our back up option short term then. Be nice to blood Litten at some point this year, just to give him a taste. Worked well for the other young players last year. Shame it didn't work out with Cunningham. Just a worry if anything happened to Houghton.
The resurgence of Yeaman has given us depth in the backs again. A quality six and Sneyd tied up to another deal will see us nicely set up I think.
As we are still at full cap we have to make a decision or two. Lighten the squad depth and bank on some more of the juniors stepping up to the level we have or focus on getting one good player in a key position. IF the xlub let Pryce, Michaels and Feka go that gives us enough leaway for either a 6 or a centre of a decent quality. That means we have to choose where CT plays, 6 or centre? If we have a choice of MF, Logan, Yeaman for next year then if we get a centre then Carlos to 6. If we get a 6 then Carlos remains in the centres. I don't think we can afford good quality with the cap space. Bearing in mind Rich Whiting's salary was never on our live cap and we still couldn't get Lee Smith on our books despite that.

Radders has his target, it's a stand off, he is a very good player.
