I hope the club aren't just pinning their hopes on 'someone' magically becoming available later in the season because that isn't guaranteed to happen, and even if it did your scrum half is not a position where a player can come in and immediately gel with the rest of the side. It takes time to build the cohesion and if we sign a 7 right before the middle 8s there won't be any time for that.
The alternative is we just go with Addy and Thomas, and if I'm being brutally honest, that is not good enough for SL. I like Addy a lot and think he has enormous squad value, but he's not a 7 despite the club's best efforts to turn him into one. Thomas I have no idea about, he's obviously not impressed at fullback because the club have resorted to bringing a crap 32 year old fullback out of retirement to paper over the cracks.
We've basically had an entire off season to scour the whole market and find a 7. It took a phone call from a friend to direct us towards the one scrum half that we did look to sign, and even after all that Jimmy has decided he isn't good enough and we're back to square one.
