Doubt we will be recruiting anyone else this yeas/next season now, unless somebody suddenly becomes available. sure GH will have some money tucked away just in case.

Moon, Delaney, Garbutt, Parcell, Peteru, Cuthbertson, Galloway on the quota. One of these would have to leave for this to be a 2018 season. I’d expect you are correct for 2019.

I'd cut short Delaney and Galloway's deals right now imo - certainly Galloways. He says next season is his last, he's very very injury prone now. Thanks but see you later, Golloway's quota spot and sal cap is a waste imo.

The things is, if you pay them off it comes out of your cap anyway. Then you have less to sign someone with. So it's not really that straight forward. Unless you don't mind breaking the cap

Downside Galloway and Delaney are both injury prone. But I thought whilst they weren't injured they played pretty well last year Galloway in particular.
If next season sees the end of their contracts then go for a mobile barnstorming forward with attitude.
BMM would be the ideal type we should be looking at.

I wouldn't even properly describe Galloway as injury prone even though he's had these two big ones with his Achilles. It's not like Delaney which is knee one time, hamstring the next, then groin, then back etc. If Galloway comes back ok from this one I would t be too worried or expectant of him breaking down again.

Delaney is about 5th choice backrower now, he still plays well when fit and around 15 games for a 5th choice isn't the end of the world that we need to get rid now when his contract is up at the end of this season anyway.

Whilst it may not be to everyone's agreement I think the club see something in sticking with guys who have helped them be successful and not just ditch them at the first sign.

Agree word gets round that we treat people fairly much easier to sign them

I think you've got a great squad. Top 3 at least. probably 1st and 2nd between Saints.

Of the new players coming in, what are people expecting from them ? Any stand out in any area ?

I think Myler & Dwyer are good signings whereas Petaru has the size & potential to have a strong impact.
I think the likes of Sutcliffe & Walker will be very good & have a huge impact whilst Parcell will be even better.
Dwyer adds another dimention from the bench.
Wuth everyone fit my starting 17 would be
Walker
Hall
Sutty
Watkins
Briscoe
Moon
Myler
Singo
Parcell
Garbutt
Ward
Ablett
Cuthbo

Mullally
Dwyer
Petaru/Oledjski
Jjb

No room for Ferres? I hope we see the best of him this season, after a full pre-season, and injury free, he should be back to his best, in fact the club should be demanding it.
