Tommy will spend more time at 9 next year than 7. That is his best position

Stacy Jones would be a mistake.
IF were bringing a SH in it needs to be a player whos going to be about for 4-5 years not 12 months. we need a settled 6/7.
My fears about sam needing an experienced head beside him have gone. plus i'm liking the sam/tommy partnership i dont actually believe a SH is needed as much as we first feared.
we keep sam and tommy or We start from next year with building a partnership not keep swapping and changing every 12 months.
McIllorum and Riddell have both played well and are good enough hookers.
Tommy has become a lot more creative since Tomkins consistently lined up with him, let's see how that progresses for another year with a bit more strength in the front row.
I'd be happy to just start the season with one new aussie prop, releasing Bailey and Smith [who else is leaving?]. Send a few of the kids out on loan such as Ainscough, Goulding/Pryce if Carmont stays, O'Carroll and probably Flanagan.

Heard he's primed for a move to Aus to play reserve grade (his GF has just gotten a job over there). Anyone else heard this?
