I really hope we are saving the best till last.
I also hope that one of them is a decent half back. Whatever anyone thinks of our squad, the fact we only have Miller and Finn looks by far our weakest area.

Confirmed signings at this point gives us the following squad list (I think)
Contracted till 2016 Craig Hall Nick Scruton Scott Anderson Danny Kirmond Mickael Simon Matty Ashurst Chris Annakin Stuart Howarth Michael Sio Jordan Tansey Andy Yates Sean Morris Bill Tupou
Contracted until 2017 Reece Lyne Richard Owen Jacob Miller Jordan Crowther Liam Finn Ben Shulver Anthony England Ashley Gibson Jon Molloy Joe Arundel Anthony Walker Anthony Tupou
Contracted until 2018 Max Jowitt Tom Johnstone
That's 27 players by my reckoning so can't see many more additions to that to be honest,

Not sure why we need a F/B, we have Tansey who is meant to be one and Jowitt who is and Owen and Hall who can be.- overkill maybe?
For me we need a real Hooker (Moore???) and a H/B not to fussed about another centre - again Gibson, Arundel, Morris and Lyne will suffice for me though another would be nice. If you can't tell I heavily subscribe to Kears philosophy on pivot players, you simply can't have to many.

I see Tansey as a player who can play many positions but not a master of any. Decent cover that's all. I'd hate to see Hall at FB again and think Owen after this injury will be far too slow to make an impact. Jowett is one to bring through over the next couple of seasons. I'm not sure he is ready yet. Would not be surprised to see us in for the saints FB, Quinlan? Or rumours of BJB from Salford. One thing that stuck out like a sore thumb for me us that we lack real pace in the backs. You can't coach true pace,With Gibson, Johnson, pommeroy (rumour) and BJB that wouldn't be a problem. I too like Moore. Get his head right and he will do well. I think Lyne is done and won't really be used this season. Lost his pace so could be shifted into 2nd row at a push for his strength? Things are looking better IMO. The squad has some depth for injuries the pack should do lots better if, and it's a huge if, we stay clear of injuries. Really looking forward to the new season

Pomeroy is definitely not fast and certainly no faster than anything we currently have.
