Would you be worried if we didn't make any new signings before the season starts? Personally I think we are light in the forwards and it's essential we get one quality one in. It would surprise me if Vella plays a full injury free season and if we have another injury on top of that, we are starting to look a bit thin and inexperienced. Dobson and Cooke would have trouble getting the time and space to play behind a pack with Netherton and, dare I say, Mills as starting props.

Id be worried but i wouldnt say its essential...
Theres not point in rush buying someone if hes not going to be the right person that we need.
I think everyone agrees we need a line breaking, impact player.
As for Mills - cant see him wearing another superleague shirt unless its a Crusaders one. (and are they just called crusaders now or something else?)

I'm wondering if we've already written 2010 off in order to bring someone in for 2011. Without strengthening there's no way we'll come in 4th.

Always a risky strategy, although you can't argue with the point about signing players for the sake of it. If nobody suitable is available then it's smarter to wait.

Agreed. At the moment we appear weaker than last season although we should again benefit from some continuity with relatively few new players in. It's hard to judge how that might influence our performances next season.

With franchising there are different priorities at different times, for example we have ticked the box for an average top 8 finish regardless of our league position next season, so, if we do not bring any more players in it would seem that the focus in respect of enhancing our next license application may lie elsewhere.

Remember the old saying? if it's not broken don't fix it.

Justin is obviously happy with the squad and believes that it is good enough to get us through again.

If rumours are to be believed then we are apparently signing two props after the 4 nations have finished. But i think that will be the only tinkering Justin will do with the team, just a routine service really not a major over haul.

are they 2 posters in your account?

which 2 props from the 4 nations? theres none available!

what i've been told from a fairly reliable source is that hudgell is so desperate to get crocker (the newly named souths captain) hes missed out on other targets. now i dont know if its true and quite frankly i aren't to bother but i'm quite happy to name my source to some people i usually converse with on these matters. :wink:
