Not sure about Manu, has to be a one year deal only, it depends on who we can get to replace Mini and Paea, we need a Willie Manu type backrower and a big prop who makes metres and offload, I think we will try for Josh Jones and the Hudds prop we were linked with in the off season. Hadley is solid enough but that's it, he seems very injury prone last season and this one.

Ridiculous comment, he is 19 and is still eligible to play for the COHA, which he did at the weekend.
Are you really basing your opinion of a player who us at this age on 3/4 games, most of which were in a losing side?

Agree on all those. Green misses a lot of games but is still better than the likes of Matongo, Fash and Thompson at prop atm. Depends how they go this season. Hadley again misses a lot of games, niggly injuries but a solid player.

3 forwards needed regardless, straight into the starting 17, replacements for Paea, Manu and Minichiello. Winger to come in for Talanoa unless Naulago proves able enough.

Pretty much agree Dave, apart from Jack Logan, he’s still young and was unlucky his form/injury and his return came in a side with nowt much to play for, actually not that sure how old he is now.

Agree with most of that Dave but I'd maybe give Green a 1 year deal and same with Logan & 2 years Sanderson if the reserves is a properly organised system next season. Hadley I'd give a 1 or 2 year deal depending how he goes this season as think he adds value to the squad and does a job (but like Green have to look at injury records).
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

No, not a ridiculous comment, just an opinion, you don't have to agree with it. I was more referencing a 3 year deal rather than whether or not we should keep him. As it is, I see less in him at his age than I did in Jansin Turget.

Like you say its an opinion, personally thought Scott looked the most promising out of the young kids

And my opinion of it is that is it a ricdolus comment, if you to judge a player who was 18 last season in 4/5 games playing in a losing team then it's up to you, I'd perfer to give to give him a bit more time.
He is the current England academy captain who played in the team that beat the Aussies, how many years do you think Wigan or Leeds whold give a player of his potential?
