Quote MadDogg="MadDogg"The signings of Sarginson and particularly Clubb are very strange. Both have utility value but I'm not sure the squad needs added depth, more the team needs added quality.'"
That's the nail on the head for me.
When you look at, on paper, the team next year it lacks that star quality. Bowen and Charnley aside, do any of the names we expect to see in the backs really excite anyone? I really rate Goulding at centre, and I like Smith, but 3 years ago the backline at OT read Tomkins, Goulding, Gleeson, Carmont, Richards, Deacon and Leuluai. I don't see how Gelling, Thornley, Green and possibly Sarginson or Clubb come close to that.
