Probably do with one more for depth, our four main props are good enough, with Fash the 5th, then 3 young props as back ups, Staveley could play prop too, if we signed another backrower.
Definitely could do with another forward, if we can Lam, I'd love us to sign a Willie Manu type backrower.

in one way yes but this could give him time to bulk up his upper body and he also needs to add some strength to his legs. Still not sure on Davy Litten but if he can add some weight in both upper body and legs it could help him try and fight for a centre spot because at the moment he is too lightweight to make a centre and behind Walker and Moy at full back

He certainly has the frame to add some bulk. Same height as Jake Wardle, and would be good if he can get to a similar size in the next couple of years
Litten had a couple of poor defensive lapses on Saturday and definitely needs a big improvement in his defence if he's going to play centre going forward

He did, but that was against the best centre I'm SL, who has been doing that to alot more experienced centres than Litten all season. But agree he needs to improve his defence, putting on extra muscle will help this.

Looks like he’ll have plenty of time for the gym now, unfortunately - done his MCL and out for the rest of the season.

The Severs news tonight only makes it more important we get a proper second row in to play alongside Cartwright. Lane has been good recently, but we 100% need to some more depth than a young kid who's coming off the back of an ACL injury.

Think Severs was behind Jebson anyway.
We have Cartwright, Holmes, Staveley and Lane, plus Jebson amd Kirby, plus we have Chamberlain. But if we could get an overseas bavkrower on quality than it would give us better options.
