Disappointing but not surprising I guess given that the Shaul to Wakefield deal recently fell through. Still, 5 very good signings coming in and as said previously, having a fully fit Cator, Carlos and Savelio back will be like 3 new signings in themselves.
Moving Ligi to second row would be a good replacement for Ma’u leaving us with Satae, Evans, Fash and Brown as our four first choice props. Be interesting to see where Taylor and Griffin fit in.

As you say RickNRolla it’s disappointing but not surprising. We look very light in the 2nd row without Mau with only Savelio & Lane as our only two recognised 2nd row.
Can’t see many takers coming in for the likes of Shaul, Griffin or Taylor so going to be hard to move them on to create room to be able to make any further changes.
Be interesting to see what TS does re the 2nd row and whether he moves Sao or the likes of Griffin.
All in all I think the club have done a decent job in making the changes they have done considering the limited options we had due to cap space.
Just hammers home how poor our recruitment and decisions re retentions and contracts under the latter part or Radfords tenure and the whole of Hodgsons.have been.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Smith has said that everyone will get a chance so lets see how Griffin and Taylor get on under an experienced coach and highly respected man-manager, hopefully on the back of injury free runs.
Maybe he is looking at Scott going to the back row. I like the lines he runs and lacks the genuine pace needed for a top centre. Think he could be a good back rower

Just seen on the Wakey board that they had a fans forum tonight and their new coach has said that the Shaul deal isn’t dead but low priority at the moment.
