I'm not sure on the logic of the signings we are reported to still be going to make. Looks to me like we will sign turner and rooney. rooney as a back up 1/2 back in case (when) someone gets injured and turner presumably to be our 1st choice centre as we have an abundance of back rowers. Personally I'd rather us use the cash from those 2 to sign a better quality centre or 1/2 back.
The worry for me if we sign turner is where does that leave hall and briscoe? What's the point signing a young back rower/cenmtre who isn't really any better than those 2?
I think craig hall will end up being agar's sean briscoe who he lets go for all the wrong reasons and ends up looking stupid a couple of years down the line.
Also, where does the signing of turner leave rich whiting? Another back rower/centre

If we start to get the ball wider when Longy comes then it's an option. Personally I would like to see Berrigan in the halves with Long and Horne at centre, might be worth a look.
Also in your side there was no Washy, now I can't believe Washbrook would not be in everyone's 17.
Spot on, should be first on the team sheet IMO.
I also would like to see berrigan and long as our halves, with Horne in the centres. Or :-
6. Whiting
7. Long
9. Berrigan with houghton as impact
13. Washbrook
Seem as plenty of others are having a stab at next seasons line up, I'll go with a mixture of what I'd like to see and what we are likely to see;
1. Dedicated full back to come in (Aussie and the last piece in the jigsaw)
2. Calderwood
3. Bristow (Tom)
4. Yeaman
5. Raynor
6. Horne
7. Long
8. O'Meley
9. Berrigan
10. Cusack
11. Burnett
12. Fitzgibbon
13. Washbrook
14. Tansey
15. Manu
16. Lauaki
17. Lee
18. Tickle
19. Hall
20. Dowes
21. Whiting
22. Turner
23. Hodgson
24. Moa
25. Rooney
26. Houghton - loan deal to Fev?
27. Promote a youngster (James Greene or Jack Bristow)
Think we'll dispense with;
Motu
Thorman
G Horne
Thacks
Maloney
and pay off
Radford
King
Has the looks of a very competitive side, and a pack that should be able to give Longy a platform to push us around the park.

Would love to see us line up like that next season.
Looks good to me. Possibly swap Manu and Burnett, and Briscoe has to prove himself at centre, but it looks a strong team containing a bit of everything.
