Agree Dave and that's added to our problem of recruitment when you're in need of an almost full squad overhaul, not so bad if you only need 1 or 2 players but in our situation it just makes it a more difficult task.

In regards to the site, yes it has  "After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us" 

As they say please bear with them while they make the fixes which they're doing ASAP, it may have a few glitches currently but at least we still have a forum to use.

Sao

Staveley 

Lane

to replace with only one quota spot

You add in Ashworth

Plus probably the need for a halfback and a .

Do you think we could sign 4 good good SL domestic forwards, or three if we use our last quota spot (which I'd rather use for a half or centre)

For all our good young players, they seem to be in the backs and have yet to see one ready to play in the pack.

I'd certainly keep Ashworth.

For me know we need 5 players for next year

A prop (Sao)

2 backrowers (Staveley, Lane)

a Halfback (Abdul)

Centre (Briscoe)

If we could get Satae, Pryce,  Batchelor (saw his name mentioned yesterday), Cross/Wrench/Halsall/Wood and an overseas backrower.

Would the salary cap stretch to that?

I heard we had 270k left before Staveley went, add in Sao, Lane and Briscoe. That's probably over 500k. Could have one of those (UK players) on a marquee contract too.

Halfback could be dependant on how Charles and Kemp go this year. With Bourouh, Balmforth and Hutchinson we have a young hooking trio so hopefully Cust won't be needed there and with him only being 26 he could be here a fews years yet alongside one of the younger fellas.

Hopefully JC is just being polite about Sao. We should not be keeping him, been poor/ill disciplined for 2 seasons and now injured for a 3rd season. Needed a good season to be considering a deal. Let him go, let someone else take the risk and get fresh faces in.
