Yeah, got distracted.

So we've lost Langley, Lovegrove, Jonny Walker, and Chester has hinted that Netherton might retire. In have come McCarthy and Donaldson.
I'd maybe use Cox more at prop, especially with Poore's recovery running into next year. Unless we pull a surprisingly large batch of pivots out of the hat, I reckon Costigan might spend some time at hooker.

Run-out pack with everyone who might be fit rnd1, fit: Weyman, New hooker, Walker, Costigan, Larroyer, Donaldson

Bench Green, Cox, Horne or McCarthy, Carlile

Then there's Ollett, Esslemont and Holker, probably in that order. If we do get Burke on loan, the extra depth will certainly be welcome. 30 games next, and we're usually struggling for numbers well before the end of the season, these last few years at least.
Missed anyone?

We are obviously 2 half backs and hooker short in addition to, imo another back rower and particularly a prop while Poore recovers.

I do not like the Costigan anywhere near nine unless we invent a new brand of rugby.

Cox is not a prop and should be now playing big minutes as a marauding right edge second rower.

Prop mix/interchange is something I need to think about.

Is Poore definitely going to regain fitness?

bit pointless this thread really

You think every thread is pointless.

You need your own forum, make up a few characters, talk to yourself, all good.

Poore reported to be considering retiring as his knee injury is not healing as it should shame if he did one of those players every team needs
