Were you disappointed before Gale left? Personally I'd much rather extend Newman/Holdroyd/Ganon over having an injury prone LG for another year.
Yes, we're a bit light in the FR, but this feels like the best squad we've had for ages, and I can't wait for the start of the season!
I agree squad is stronger than its been for a while and i think the quality of signings weve made is the best in years, never a guarantee they will work out of course, so we are nearly there. We need another half and a prop and we can challenge in my opinion so im disappointed we arent adding to the group.
Gale was out of contract at the end of this season and none of the youngsters are currently out of contract so its a bit of a falsehood by the club to say that releasing Gale allows them to renew Newman and co. They couldve agreed deals to start at the end of the year using Gales salary cap money anyway. But ok if they want to do it now thats fine.
Hopefully Sezer and Austin can stay fit and we dont need any cover for those positions. We can get by with Thompson, Mustapha and Donaldson covering prop forward.
Weve a good squad but its not quite there in my opinion which is a shame but we are heading in a good direction.
