For mine... IF we lost Houghton for any length of time, we're up s**t creek..

We would have to sign a player if Houghton is injured either on loan or permant, Rovers, saints seem to have managed to do that this season.
I wonder if Manu does sign they might push Mini or Pritchard to prop, bit of a waste but an option.
The good thing about signing Manu is he is 28 and with Mini, Ellis, Whiting and Pritchard all in their 30s it could a great short and long term signing for the club.
What a pack we would have next year if this signing comes off, if the two new backs work out we could surprise a few next year.
Ellis Houghton Watts Mini Manu Westy
Pritchard Taylor Whiting Washbrook
I think we could get away with 3 props next year as all can easily do 60 mins.

Radders thinks Washbrook, personally I wouldnt mind Godinet instead, he can play 6/7 as well..

just a rumour but age is not a problem for me if there look after themselves, I remember a few who questioned mini when he first signed and he hasn't been bad,sating that I would rather have manu

Rumours of Heighton, Hanson, Manu, Washbrook
How many 2nd Rowers do we need?!
I fear that we may lose Thompson and I really rate him.
I know Ellis may be moving to prop but we still have Mini, Tommo, Westerman, Whiting, Abdul, Pritchard, Yeamo, Downs, Hadley, Fash, Turgit, all for 3 positions plus a bench spot.
I know it keeps coming up but is there a chance that Westerman is going?
As others keep saying I'm worried about cover for Hooker.

Thommo is bettet in the front row. Rated him at cas. Was one of the few that was chuffed when we signed him. Westy for me is going. If not play him ans second row with a 3rd prop interchange abdull with 3rd prop. To many forwards defo. Need a hooker
