In his interview last week whilst talking about the squad, I thought he’d said that we’d be stronger this week, but it sounded that there may be through squad signings, not just returning players.
I can’t find the clip and I may have I misinterpreted what was said. However, hopefully we get some additional re-enforcements soon.

The injuries in the pack are a problem. We at least need to go find a prop and second row imo. The problem is that we don't really have the youngsters coming through in the pack. If we have a lot of injuries in the backs we have Moy, the Kemps, Charles, even Westerman who I'm confident could all hold their own. In the pack I don't think any of them are ready, particularly in the front row.

If Sao isn't retained I think we need two established props to rotate with Ese Ese, Aydin and Ashworth (plus Fash & the kids), two second row to complement Cartwright, Lane and Holmes not up to it IMO and at least one centre to partner Hardaker. Don't think anyone believes Chamberlain is anything but a squad player. That's minimum additions if we're going to continue to improve.

DT article saying that the club are looking to bring in reinforcements, possibly even before Fridays game.
The logistics of that 2 games in without a quota spot just seems impossible to bring in any long to even mid term signings, isn’t going to happen without some serious transfer fees offered and even then who’s going to want to sell players at this stage?
My guess is maybe a couple of loans or the free agents mentioned on here previously like Livett, Johnson or Royle.
